What would you say if your three-year-old boy told you that he’s not a boy, he’s a girl: not just once, but over and over again? More and more people are identifying as transgender -- at younger and younger ages. Madeleine explores the world of transgender kids in L.A.: how they, their parents and their doctors navigate the tricky waters of gender identity at very young ages.
