Transgender youth share their stories in an MSNBC documentary

Jake and four other young tansgender people shared their story for the MSNBC documentary "Born in the Wrong Body." Their last names have been omitted to protect their privacy. Some have had an easier time coming to grips with their gender than others; some have opted for gender reassignment surgery, while others don't feel it's necessary; some have been supported by their families from the beginning, while other have had to turn to "alternative families" for support.

Oh I hope it was a good show... I have it taped and I'll see it tonight.

But I told my parents to watch it (or well, left a message as no one answered - never a good sign), so I hope it was well done...?

I was partying for a good part of the weekend so I have no idea. I am never home long enough to watch television anyway. You may want to check out YouTube.

Watched if finally. It was okay.

Only thing is, that whole drag queen "ballroom" stuff at the end of the show is exactly what I've told my parents this ISN'T about I kinda wish that segment hadn't been lumped into a show on TS/TGism.

The rest of it was pretty cool though.
