This is such an empowering program. Jazz Jennings is a role model for all those who feel like they're not who they want to be. It's really amazing to see her daily life and struggles on this show

As a grandmother, I find this show immensely informative. If people watch from the beginning, they have to be blind not to see the truth of Jazz' s experience. I'm speaking of gender dysphoria (born with a brain that can be opposite to the physical body). Jazz and family are brilliantly explaining this difficulty for Jazz and all those who love her. This is a tremendous asset for all others who might encounter the same. I am applauding Jazz, family, and friends for the filming accomplished.

I am Oriana I am a girl I love this show I don't know why it is something. About it and if I was a boy l probably would go out with jazz she is so pretty and I love her hair. I wish I can meet jazz and I love how she is so confident in her self so for everybody that is saying people should,not be transgender you can keep. Your comments to your self or you can come say it to me don't go and attack jazz and her family all because your a hater
