Transhood

Leena was the only kid who seems really trans and to have a choice. The rest seemed to be highly influenced by their parents. Maybe Jay but I think has major mom influence. Bro, ditch the cubic zirconia earrings. Avery's parents are clearly pushing to be on a magazine and write a book and being in this documentary. Shame on you. Phoenix, was a sheltered boy trying to be like his sister. I see mostly idiot mothers trying to gain attention. Let your kids have a childhood and be free. There are real people that have these problems and you getting on the victim train is not helping the cause. Overall this doc left me sick to my stomach though it does a great job of exposing the attention seeking nurturing. Good luck to all the kids involved.

I think this is a well-made documentary showing different trans youth and their families, and the ups and downs of their experiences. I know that people might have some concerns from multiple different political perspectives, but overall I see the documentary as honest, and I commend those young trans people and their families who were willing to share their lives with us in this way.

This is not an in-depth documentary examination of what it is to be trans, but it is a good start. If you are ill-informed about transgenderism, this is a good starting point to learn more. Being filmed in Kansas City and the conservative Bible-Belt was gave some edginess to it, but not that much as I was expecting. I would have liked to have heard more of the struggles and maybe from families not so accepting of their child's gender decisions than just parents who were very accommodating. Being trans is nothing easy.and that part was missing from here for the most part, but a good watch none the less.

A touching film, told without narration, following the sometimes difficult journeys of four families as they rise to the challenges of supporting trans children.

The high proportion of 1 out of 10 ratings seems to be a coordinated effort by transphobes to share their hate.

Just goes to show reading some of the other reviews how horrible some people can be. These kids and their families go through so much just trying to be themselves, they don't need judgemental fools telling them they are going to hell.

Its a well put together documentary that makes no judgements, it just presents the stories exactly as they are.. The families were very brave to participate in the film.

Watching their pain as they were rejected by family and friends was tough.

I wish them all a safe and happy future.

If you need to hate these people take a good look in the mirror at just a second rate human being you are.
