My Transgender Kid follows two ordinary British families as they attempt to navigate the extraordinary challenges of having a 7 year old child who was born the wrong gender. The parents are faced with decisions few others could comprehend, from whether to use “he” or “she” pronouns to whether to let their kids go to school with their new identity, and risk bullying and judgment.
