Great story!

If only the rest of society were as open minded and caring as Jazz's parents.

I thought that was an excellent treatment of the issue, some confusion with using transgendered instead of transsexual but nothing major. All in all a very nice piece, good for parents too.

What a wonderful story and great parents. Jazz will have some tough times ahead, but she'll grow up happy!

[Guest Charlene_Leona]

This is an amazingly beautiful story, I am so impressed with Jazz and especially her wonderful loving parents. I prey that this becomes the norm instead of the exception. Had this happened when I was a child both my mother and myself would have been thrown into asylums. What the U.S. and the world needs to see is how well adjusted children who are transsexual are when allowed to live as their brain's say they are.

Very great video, looked from a fairly neutral stand-point. The disturbing part, at least for me , would be the e-mail threats. It's good that the parents were willing to open up and talk to the media about Jazz and stuff, but I hope the publicity would not draw unwanted and dangerous attention to them, especially since Jazz is still pretty young and vulnerable.

Pretty sad society we have here..where everyone and anyone thinks that they have the right to dictate who should be killed and who should not...

my younger siblings would do the same thing.

one is actually raising her baby gender neutral allowing her, to follow her own feelings...... or was that a him?
