Just heard a great 17-minute audio piece ("Tom Girls") on transgender children on the "This American Life" episode of 2-16-09. I've never before heard 7-year-old transgender children interviewed, nor had I met any children of that description/age , and it was both heartrending and as well as just plain interesting to hear both the children and their parents talk about their struggles. One family was actually doing pretty well coping with the parenting task that life had handed to them, so that was a nice angle to hear, and made you think about all the kids who didn't get that.
