George is still very young. I think young kids associate the word "twin" with 2 brothers or 2 sisters who look the same and of course are the same gender. As he grows up he will realise there are also fraternal with one child a boy and the other a girl. Also he is struggling with allot of emotional turmoil and confusion. Kids deal with this through anger and tantrums. He still needs to learn how to regulate these emotions like every child his age.

[@jen2804]

Parent. There is no dad. He walked out. George is angry on multiple levels and it hurts. Having a parent abandon you is hard enough, feeling uncomfortable in your own body is hard enough, and having a constant reminder that your sister is everything everyone wants you to be is hard enough. George has no outlet. Mom is doing the best she can. George also got teased at his old school. Kids his age have ended their lives being bullied. He desperately needs an outlet, probably therapy, but he's not intentionally being nasty. He's hurting.

These parents are accepting of the child's gender identity. But they are also encouraging it. I think that, if it is really necessary for the child's well-being, then they should let the boy live as a girl ... but they shouldn't encourage it ... just look the other way and let it be ... dont make an issue out of it ... just behave as if it isn't anything to notice, like it is "normal." By something like doing the child's nails, they are showing the child that it is okay and they are encouraging it and praising it and enforcing it... and the child sees that he/she will get extra attention this way, and maybe will get less attention if he/she decides to go back to the birth gender.

I didn’t realize being transgender was an excuse to treat your twin sibling of the opposite gender like total shit.

[@piper157]

It’s only because he doesn’t want to be referred to as a girl. It’s got to be hard for him to have basically a reflection of his past self. As he gets older it’ll become easier for him to understand and stray away from treating his sister like that. He needs more time to process how he’s feeling. It doesn’t make it right, but it doesn’t mean it’s not extremely hard for him. I hope you get what I’m saying here, and I hope you realize this isn’t coming from a place of hate. Thank you.

[@MINDYWAAAA]

This is my experience with transgender feelings: Up until about age 19 (started at around age 6) i always wanted to be a boy. I loved how free they seemed, and not so many female stereotypes and makeup, dressing up, cliques, etc. I felt i was a boy because i loved video games (my dad loves video games), and was very into music of all kinds and dressed as a boy and acted like one (i was very rough and playful and a goof ball as most kids were) but i felt different. I was called a tomboy, and i referred to myself as that. One day my dad took me to a video game store and i walked in with my hair tucked into a ball cap (trying to pass as a boy) and i was trying to act all cool and i ended up just embarrassing my dad LOL. I called myself Jimmy, and sometimes i would walk around the neighborhood with my friends with a boombox on my shoulder playing some boy like songs, tryna be cool like a boy. this was in the early 2000s. Now I'm 28, and have been struggling so much with my identity. Always felt like a man inside. Even now I just always feel like a man trapped in a female body. However, I learned that I have full female hormones and body and im completely female in all scientific ways. I have been doing my best to accept myself for who i truly am, and that is a boyish girl. I'm married to a man that i truly truly love, but i still have thoughts of women many times. I identify as a woman, with a very masculine brain (there are other reasons i feel like this: very dominant personality, go-getter, charming, adventurous, independent, aggressive), but i have noticed with time that i have very feminine aspects too, like the nurturing, loving, generous, care-giving, selfless sides. All I want to do is please people. Sometimes I can't tell if how I'm feeling is truly how I'm feeling or how society expects its citizens to be in order to function successfully in society. For the record i have my bachelor's in health and rehabilitation sciences with a minor in integrative medicine. Nothing special (sorry im self-deprecating all the time) but at least I have some knowledge under my belt.

Why do you present being loving and nurturing as feminine traits and the opposite of that as masculine? This is a recent, very pernicious cultural conception stemming from warmongering monarchies, that has no scientific validity nor previous historical precedent (prior to that the entire tribe raised kids, and warmongering dominating aggression behaviour was not seen as a good thing rather as antisocial). Same as being adventurous and independent you present these as a masculine traits (wtf) Honestly, it sounds like someone/something indoctrinated you into very pernicious ideas about masculinity and femininity. it sounds like you intrernalised a ton of sexism you were bombarded with throughout your life

[@liebstmohnbroetchen]

My first thought about George was that he was tired of always being seen as part of a double pack. If the parents had treated the twins individually from the beginning, none of this might have happened. It tears my heart apart to see the girl missing her twin sister with whom she could play princess. And it tears my heart up to see how George treats his/her sister.

[@Xiao-yt6bd]

his sister

[@5Pip]

I had the same thought George's behaviour to his sister was down right hateful. Paddy is girl to the core you hear it in her language, "I was always a girl" and other such statements it helps that she is in a healthy headspace. Whereas George is just being loud about wanting everything boy they don't actually use the word to relate to themselves, they were awkward when Niki (who was absolutely brilliant) said he was trans too, but then again this documentary is just a snapshot of their lives we don't know what goes on when the cameras aren't their. But from this snapshot George and his sister Jasmin need therapy together and apart. George needs help to figure out who they are ( trans or gender fluid). Jasmin needs to know that George's behaviour towards her is not okay.

[@jadefire2817]

I mean. I 'm all for supporting your children. But that little boy George, for lack of a better word, is an asshole, and needs a trip to the woodshed. Just because you're "Trans" and it makes you upset to see your twin, does *NOT* mean you can speak to her and treat her that way. The mum has decided George is "special" and needs coddling, so that poor little girl gets left out in the cold.

I think their (George) main problem was they never liked being a twin, they are acting out against their sister because they can't cope with society seeing them (both twins) as the same person. This is the deep root problem that needs to be addressed. Because their behaviour towards their sister is down right out of order, it is teaching George that they can treat people however they want and teaching the sister that she can and should be used as a doormat that her feelings don't matter and she should always yield. I used they\their pronouns for George because I don't think they know who they are yet. Whereas Paddy is a she to her core.

I'm always conflicted with these types of things. I feel like the parents have a huge influence on children. Kids are like "I like pink so I must be a girl cause only girls like pink". Kids should be taught it's okay to like the things you do, it doesn't automatically make you a boy or a girl. However I'm against parents making permanent decision for their kids. I was a boyish kid. I cried and pouted when I was forced to put on a dress. My mother tried to encourage me to play with dolls but I refused to play with them. I never liked playing with girls at school, I'd only hang out with the guys. BUT! I am an adult now and I'm super glad my parents didn't turn me into a boy. I still act a bit like a guy but I am 100% a women. Getting a sex change or doing things that will result in permanent changes to your body should only be done once the child is an adult and they are sure that's what they want

[@hyperplaguerat]

They don't do permanent procedures on them as kids. When kids transition they wear the clothes and hair that fits their personality. They might use puberty blockers, but that's not irreversible and gives them even more time to think about the decision.

[@bluetiger2468]

@@hyperplaguerat I just think kids should be kids. Kids should not have to worry about telling their friends they're trans. They are kids and they're minds are still developing. They look to their parents for guidance. And if their parents are guiding them down this path, they will be more willing to go through with it even if that's not what they want. Parents can be influencing them without even know it. But if you think about all of this stuff too much, it can be super complicated. I don't have children so I don't know what the parents are going through. All I can use is my own experiences.

@@bluetiger2468 yeah bit it’s hard being just a kid with the feeling that you’re not yourself. I thought it was hard just having crushes on girls as a girl when I was 7 and up but I can’t imagine what’s it’s like not being able to present as the gender you feel that you are

[@hastyink]

@@bluetiger2468 to me they are being kids. You didn’t ask or feel like a boy. Most likely why your parents didn’t force you to be one. I was also tomboyish, wore boy clothes, shoes, played sports ect. But always enjoyed being a girl. That’s the difference. If society wasn’t so hung up one what’s in between someone’s legs and who they have sex with, these kids wouldn’t need to think about being bullied for wanting to be themselves. A kid who likes pink and butterflies or a kid who likes football.

38:42 The mom talks about "girlie days", that's so odd; they seem really fixated on gender roles. That was never a thing in my family, we were just people and nobody cared about our gender. I was a girl that climbed trees a lot, caught frogs and leeches, hated Barbie dolls, makeup, dresses and the color pink, but liked felling trees and my dad let me climb the high ladder to clean the rain pipe, or cut wild boars into pieces. It was a good childhood without any stupid roles. Just let them be humans! A boy in our school had Barbie dolls, My Little Pony and more pink toys and we never had a problem with it. It simply wasn't important what you were - most of my friends were boys, but who cares! During puberty I had problems with developing a feminine body (maybe due to my light autism), but came to terms with it over time. Fact is that all these trans kids seem to be extremely fixated on gender roles and I wonder where that came from.

[@phantomvampyressshadowkiss4690]

Its because it's a phase alot of times. Sometimes kids think they want to be the opposite gender but they don't have the mental capacity to make adult decisions about being a different gender. I am a mother of 2 daughters biological daughters. I'm raising them as the gender they were born with. If my daughters want to play with trucks and boy stuff that's cool but it doesn't make them trans

[@iwd1856]

Just remember Enid Blyton's character George. He was my first transgender reference.

These type of documentaries always feature very young innocent children who are appealing and non-threatening. The picture usually changes drastically once these kids hit their teen years and they enter their suicidal phase.

Your brother and Paddy are not the same person. God is much more vast than we are. We're the ones that want to label things and think things have to be black or white. God made her exactly as she is.

Nobody. I worked at a kindergarten back in 2005 and there was a 4 y.o. boy who thought he was a girl, unlike his identical twin brother. He was girlier than any of the girls in his class. When he turned 5 he finally did realize he was a boy (physically) but told me he wanted to be a girl and felt like a girl. His parents just let him play with whatever he wanted, but always dressed him as a boy and didn’t encourage him to be a girl.

[@saengerin-juli]

Maybe George only wants to be a boy, because he has a problem with being an identical twin sibling. In another documentary someone became transgender after being sexually abused, so they wanted to have the other sex. I am an identical twin and we had much problems with each other. We did not feel individual, we were often not treated as individuals and fighted aginst each other in an insane way. You can get deep psychological problems, when you cannot deal with that. And apparently he hates his sister. I think they should see a therapist, the sooner the better.

[@slytherinzombii6755]

None of these children or families should be ashamed of themselves for having a transgender family member.

These parents have no idea how their acceptance has changed the trajectory of their child’s life.

I came out at 16, im 18 now and to this day my parents don’t call me my preferred name. Living with gender dysphoria is extremely painful, and I’ve lost my childhood because of it. I get emotional watching these, because I would sell my soul to have parents like this.
