VOICED : Transgender at 7 years-old a familys challenge

The video tells the story of Jacob LeMay, a transgender child who was born in a girl's body but identified as a boy from a young age. His parents, after observing his consistent behavior and consulting with medical professionals, decided to support his transition. They allowed him to choose a new name and live as a boy, which led to a successful transition. The family went public to help other families facing similar challenges and to advocate for transgender rights. They highlight the high suicide rates among transgender youth who are not supported. Jacob himself encourages other kids to be true to themselves.

How did Jacob's experience challenge the perceptions of his parents about transgender children?
