Its a remarkable metamorphosis for a deeply unhappy teenager who blossoms into a young man. With the help of his family hes decided to transition socially and surgically before finishing puberty. Critics might argue its too much, too soon. But this young mans loved ones will tell you, timing is everything. Reporter meet an extraordinary 14yearold. Well call him nathan jones. Like a lot of the boys his age he loves rocking out. Cruising around the neighborhood. And all things sports. This is actually my first football trophy. I played three, four seasons of football. Reporter but nathan isnt your typical teenage boy. Nathan anatomically is female. Originally born a little girl named natalie. I always remember just being different. I always wanted to play with the boys. And from a young age i was really adamant that i was a boy. Reporter so adamant that at 4 years old, the preschooler declared im a boy. As a second grader wrote notes in black crayons, i am not a girl i am a boy. Handing them out to classmates. Ive always felt like ive had a boys brain. I always felt like i was trapped in this girls body. Reporter for years, parents tammy and jim assumed natalie was just a tom boy. We really fed into societys way of saying what does a 4yearold know . Reporter at age 13 natalie came out as transgender and asked to be called nathan. If someone were to wake up in the wrong body theyd be freaking out. Reporter hes now one of a growing number of brave transgender kids who are controversially transitioning, both socially and medically, all before adulthood. This is something im Going Forward with. Reporter when we met them four years ago they let our cameras document the transformal journey over several years. Five years on testosterone will get a lot of the irreversible changes he wants. Reporter nathans already experienced that ugly taste of violence, including a brutal beating to the genitals. A group of boys werent sure if he was a boy or a girl. And they decided if they kicked him that they would be able to find out. People started thinking of me as the weird kid. The different one. I got taunted in the halls. Reporter hes now doing school online. But its left him further depressed. Now it just feels like i dont have anyone to talk to. Reporter in the last six months at least six transgender teens took their own lives, often because they felt unsupported by parents or peers. A staggering 41 of transgender youth will attempt suicide before age 25. It just becomes a panic. Reporter dr. Melvin belser runs the largest transgender youth clinic in the country. The percentages that we have statistics on, how many were spat on, how many had to drop out of school, are horrendous. Basically what i wear three layers of spandex. I want my boobs gone. Reporter hes started on drugs that have suspended his periods, essentially early menopause. Going through your period is something hard for a girl. For a guy its completely embarrassing. Reporter hes gearing up to start the male hormone testosterone under the care of an endocrinologist. The main thing thats going to happen is your ovaries are going to totally shut down they wont make estrogen anymore. Reporter the testosterone will masculinize his body. Hell develop body hair bigger muscles. Over time his breasts will shrink. You can see critics saying dont mess with nature. What if he changes his mind . Would you rather have a happy kid . Or would you rather have a dead kid . To you, the answers clear. Right. Reporter in addition to hormones theyre going to court to legally change his name. Well grant this application for change of name. Reporter with those few simple words a monumental change. And thats it. Thank you. Thank you. Blee nathan is now officially our son. He doesnt have to have his female name any longer. Its just phenomenal. Im going to remember this day as one of the greatest days of my life. I just want him to be happy. If this makes him happy, im very happy for him. Reporter back at home food friends, laughter, and of course cake. It says its a boy, then my name. My new name. Reporter tammy sending out a new birth announcement. I just say, help us in accepting and loving and welcoming our son as of this date she will no longer be she. Reporter and soon enough its time for the first shot of testosterone. Have that coursing through the veins is just whats going to be making him happy. Reporter tammy writes bro energy on nathans rear to cheer him on. Is it over . Yeah thats it. Reporter make no mistake, there are controversial irreversible effects of testosterone, including potential infertility. We dont really know what the impact of these hormones are going to be. There is some truth to that matter, except in medicine we have to weigh the risks of doing nothing. Reporter to celebrate, nathan heads to the Trans Support Group his mother helped him find. His buddies have made him testosteronethemed cupcakes. In three to six months hell see physical effects. To keep them over time hell have to take the hormones the rest of his life. Where do you see yourself in a year . Going into Public School and people find out, they find out. Reporter a year later, hes come to San Francisco for the next big step. His parents have made the boold decision to allow him, at age 16, to get a double mastectomy. Whats known as top surgery. My parents were sort of thinking, oh well, you can have that when youre 18. And from there it sort of evolved over time to, yeah, okay, we need this now. Reporter dr. Michael brownstein will perform that surgery. I felt quite comfortable that this was appropriate for nathan. And i think nathan is going to be quite pleased. You nervous . Kind of. Reporter its an expensive procedure. Almost 10,000, not covered by insurance. The next morning, the surgery begins. Hours later, nathan is in recovery. Do you feel happy . Im just tired. Theres a whole bunch of bandages. Reporter will this complicated surgery so young be the right choice . A few months later, nathans flat chest is healing nicely. Its been forever since ive been at a pool and felt comfortable being in a pool with my shirt off. Its just i cant even describe the feeling. Its amazing. We wanted him to be able to do things that kid dozen. And thats what hes doing now. Reporter this 16yearold boy is driving as well. It says male on my drivers license. New name new gender, new everything. Reporter the next time we check in with nathan hes almost 18. Im comfortable with me. Reporter a young adult. A selfconfident young man. This is the way ive always wanted to look. And this is the way ive always imagined myself being. Reporter since transitioning hes returned to Public School. And today, hes graduating. This is how i dreamed it would happen. Im graduating as a boy. Not as a girl like i was afraid of. I know if i had to live as a girl now, i would most likely be very depressed. Hopefully not but i most likely would have tried to kill myself. Did you ever think you would find this moment in time where you have this happy, welladjusted son . If we didnt transition for sure he would be a very angry person. Reporter nathan says hes forever grateful for his parents support. But he surprised us saying there was another voice in his head all along. The words of a second grade counselor named amy. She said to me theres other people like you and youre not alone. So i always thought that was the most profound piece of advice ever. And it kept me going from second grade on. Reporter hed long ago lost contact. But we thought, what if we could find her . Hi. Look at you oh my gosh. Oh you cant believe how long ive waited for this day. Its like a dream that i wished for. And to see it come true is exactly. Reporter it was a decade ago that nathan then natalie, first met amy. Sent to her office after declaring im a boy in the strongest way he knew in those black crayon flyers he passed out in class. This is our im a boy. Im not a girl. Reporter amy still has his file, the only file she kept in her 20year career. I couldnt do anything big but i could be there every day when natalie needed to talk. Just thank you. For everything. I dont want another kid to have to go through life thinking theyre different or theyre wrong. They need that one person that says, youre all right. Thats what matters. Just having one person. Reporter one person, or in nathans case three caring adults, to make all the difference for one transgendered child.
