Transgender kids : Who knows best?.

Documentary addressing the growing trend amongst young children to believe they are transgender. In Canada, we hear from one of the world's leading experts in childhood gender dysphoria (the condition where children are unhappy with their biological sex), Dr Kenneth Zucker, lost his job for challenging the new belief that children know best what their gender orientation should be. He believes that most children with gender dysphoria eventually overcome their feelings without transitioning and questions the science behind the idea that a boy could somehow be born with a 'female brain' or vice versa. It also features 'Lou' - who was born female and had a double mastectomy as part of transitioning to a man. She now says it is a decision that 'haunts' her and feels that her gender dysphoria should have been treated as a mental health issue. This documentary examines Zucker's methods, but it also includes significant contributions from his critics and supporters of gender affirmation, including transgender activists in Canada and leading medical experts as well as parents with differing experiences of gender dysphoria and gender reassignment.
