“I have a girl brain but a boy body. This is called transgender. I was born this way!” Jazz

Jazz Jennings is the unofficial face of America's transgender youth. This summer, she returns to TLC to share her unique perspective of life as a transgender teen in all new season 2.

Jazz was assigned male at birth but has identified as female since she could speak: "When I was two, I asked my mum, 'When is the good fairy going to come and wave her magic wand and change my body parts?'"

In the last two years, Jazz has twice been named one of 'The 25 Most Influential Teens' by TIME, and I Am Jazz was recently honoured with the Outstanding Reality Programme Award at the 2016 GLAAD Awards.

The new season will continue to chronicle the triumphs and struggles of Jazz’s life as she balances normal teenage issues such as high school and family with surgery to avoid male puberty and nuisance phone calls.

"She was meant to do this," admits her mum Jeanette, "like almost destiny."
