"I am Jazz"
is a show on TLC about a transgender teen named Jazz. Born a biological
male, Jazz was diagnosed with gender dysphoria at age 5 after she had
counseling and testing. His parents have been extremely supportive and
Jazz has been living as a girl full time since the age of five.
Jazz
has said, "I grew my hair, had my ears pierced and wore dresses. I felt
so happy. My brothers and sisters accepted it and even though my dad
struggled at first, both my parents were really supportive."
At
age 11, Jazz began worrying about puberty approaching so his parents
made the decision to allow him to begin hormone blockers that would stop
the production of testosterone. "I had nightmares about growing facial
hair and I hated the thought of my voice dropping and my body becoming
more masculine," he said.
zz was elated that he was able to take the steps saying, "It was such
a relief. The hormone blockers are reversible, so if I come off them
I'll go through male puberty. But there's no way that's happening, I'm
too happy as a girl. I love experimenting with different hair styles and
going clothes shopping."
Is this child abuse? In my opinion it
is. This child from a very early age was encouraged to dress and act
like a girl. Children have no idea what that would even mean at that
age. Conditioning your child to embrace feelings of confusion is
irresponsible, to say the least. It is not only lying to your child
about the way God made him or her, but it's deliberately putting the
child in harm's way, encouraging undue scrutiny from the outside world.
