"Before I transitioned, Andrew and I were best friends as men. Now we're boyfriend and girlfriend." Robyn

Robyn is one of six Kansas City-based transgender women featured in this ground-breaking series, exclusive to TLC. The show takes a refreshingly honest look at Robyn, Macy, Jaime, AiYana, Kassidy and Chloe's emotional journeys as they transition from being assigned male at birth to embracing womanhood.

"Finally, finally," says Chloe "I'm the person I was meant to be. It's the best feeling in the world."

Viewers will discover the issues transgender women face on a daily basis - from shoe shopping to the battle to be allowed to use the rest room - and witness such compelling moments as Macy's wife giving make-up advice to the woman who used to be her husband and their public debuts as women to family and friends.

New Girls on the Block demystifies the cloud of confusion that often surrounds the transgender community. After all, says Macy, "the focus needs to be on our lives as people."
