Boy or Girl? - Growing up Transgender
45' (GER, ENG subs)
Sophia is eight years old. She looks like a girl and identifies herself as such but she was born a boy.
At the age of four she decided to no longer be a boy. Now she only wears skirts and dresses, has let her hair grow out and relates to princesses from her favourite TV series. At first, her parents thought it was but a phase. However, as she constantly demonstrates aggressive and violent tendencies when called by her old name, her parents and brothers were obliged to accept her as a daughter and sister.
