One of the biggest and most valuable lessons any young LGBT person can learn is you are not alone!
It can certainly feel that way, though.

That mincing stereotype on the left is more girlish than she is. In any event, it is extremely creepy the way they have turned this kid into a small industry. A TV name (“Jazz”) rather than a normal name. A slew of public appearances. A children’s book. And now a reality TV show. How can a children’s book be written, illustrated, edited, picked up by a publisher and sold in stores when no one had even heard of this person until a few months ago? Clearly this was a planned media rollout. Wouldn’t it be better for “Jazz” to just have as much of a normal childhood as possible without being put under the spotlight?

@Jacob23: It’s obvious that you’re trolling. That side, people have known about Jazz since at least 2012, it’s just you that has a problem.

@alexswizzi: No way was this kid famous in 2012. I think the mini-celebrity hit when she won a lawsuit against her school. That was last year. Maybe there was some local press coverage of the filing of the suit but that wouldn’t be enough to trigger the creation of an illustrated book. The book would become feasible only after her celebrity status rose, and that was only months ago.

@Jacob23: Thanks for sharing how much of an idiot troll you are. You don’t have a clue what you are talking about. Go take your own insecurities somewhere else. It is obvious trans people offend your very existence. And all you talk about is being “normal”… Wake up… You sound like a Christian fundamentalist.
@Jacob23: How would you know? You don’t know anything about her.
