I cannot even believe how strong Zoey is. She's incredible, the way she responds to hate and the self confidence she has, it's truly amazing. You go girl x

This goes to further prove my inner belief that Laverne Cox is truly a courageous, humble, modern hero of our time. She uses her fame and success to open a hard conversation to have. My deepest respect to her.

People who are commenting that they don’t agree, or don’t understand, it’s not for you to understand. There are many things in life I don’t understand or believe in but that doesn’t mean I put other people down, or act ignorant. I keep an open mind. Because I want to live a peaceful and fulfilling life.

When Zoey said, " Okay I'll see you there too." I laughed bc that's literally me when someone says ill burn.

This is horrible, super sad. We really are living in a garbage world that treats people with such anger and disrespect. The documentary is very good to open the eyes of us, who don't have much contact with the community. I hope this kids mother accepts him sooner or later. The little 12 yo girl, aww so cute!

I'm crying. This was so beautiful just like every person in this video. It breaks my heart that transgender people are victims of hate crimes and rape and horrible things like that. A transgender girl at my school was attacked with a knife. Luckily, she survived and got away before anything bad happened. However, the attacker was only suspended for a week. He should be expelled.

"you're a sin. you're gonna burn in hell" and then there's zoey: "okay. see you there."

I worked in a Clothing Store, and whenever a trans woman came in....I automatically felt on guard for them. Almost over protective. I was a manager, and knowing the crowd my company served (catty teenage cis-gender girls in Orange County California) I never wanted these women to feel left out in what is usually a hyper-feminine woman's safe haven (shopping). When I tell you the look of absolute delight on their face when I would help them (i.e finding out what kind of outfit they were looking for, actually working together to make outfits, picking out accessories) it would literally warm my heart. I am so into girl power, and girls watching out for each other, but this extends to trans-girls too. I loved this documentary, and the threat against trans people is absolutely an epidemic, and needs to be classified as one.

I'll be transitioning this month and I'm really scared and anxious but this documentary helped ease some of my fears, I really appreciate seeing all these courageous beautiful souls, thanks for posting this MTV 💜

" you've been blackened " I'm deaaadd 💀💀😭 but srsly

No matter how many people shame Trans people, Trans people have always existed and will always exist.

Zoey's mom and her are amazing. They are so positive, especially the mom considering she's in the older generation

These kids have more gut and thicker skin than anyone I know. Kudos to their bravery and I hope we as a society will become more accepting one day. Very excited that there are people like Donnie (Avery's date)out there too, who care about the person and not their genitalia.

This little girl in the pink dress is so cute . God she's going to do something very good in the world 😊

Zoey is a gorgeous little girl. Her mom must be proud.

I'm a straight white woman and i have no problems with anyone doing or being who they are as long as no one is harming themselves or anyone else. Live your lives with happiness and pride in yourself. Find the love you deserve to have just as anyone else does. Discrimination out of ignorance and fear is never a positive thing.

What a great documentary. I'll never understand why people feel such hatred for these beautiful brave people.

I love how you present this documentary, Laverne! It is very empowering and informative showing diverse trans people and their experiences! Spread more love, kindness, and respect to our differences as we only live once.

This made me cry so many times! So proud of these young people for living their TRUTH, and not letting bigots scare them away from who they know they are...

Thank you for doing this MTV. Please make more documentaries! Plus all the people who participated really deserve huge applause. It's 2016. We should know better.

Daniela's story is really sad, fucking people at the hospital. :(

I've ALWAYS loved Laverne and I think she's such a spectacular person. She's very kind, helpful and understanding.

This was inspiring to watch. Those kids are so brave to fight for their happiness and the right to be themselves. I'm so happy that the trans community is getting empowered and is getting a voice! I'm so pleasantly surprised with several parents' positive reactions and acceptance if their kids.

this Documentary made me cry I never understood why people are against people like this they are beautiful people just like the rest of us

Didn't touch on housing and job discriminations...maybe this could become a series?

Ari is such a hottie.

I came to the comments to see what negativity existed. Y'all fr warmed my heart. I love this so much and I need so much more of this in my life 😍

This is a CORRECTION to a previous comment: Even though they showed footage of Ari when he was little, he looked like a little boy, just with long hair. So glad that all the people in this documentary are now able to be themselves and feel proud!

Everyone in this is so beautiful.I'm very jealous of all the people who can transition and happily be their true selves.Hopefully one day I can do the same.❤️

everybody in this documentary is freaking amazing and Laverne hosting it? YASSS

I remember when this first came on MTV. I was a Junior in high school and I was still in misery not being allowed to transition because my mom was definitely not okay with me presenting myself as the person I always knew I was. I’m proud to see this again for the first time in 7 years. It’s incredibly phenomenal. 🤩🤩🤩🤩

this is the most respectful, realistic documentary on the lives of trans people that i've seen yet. absolutely love it

Watching these women and men I want to hold them and let them know that people outside their families support them as well. The world is cruel regardless people are always critical and words are violence too. I send you love and support you in your truth. God does not make mistakes we are different with purpose.

this was so educational. I feel like trans-women are more at risk for violence after revealing if they want to be with a man. men, I think, think it "makes them gay" that they are attracted to or didn't know right off the bat that the woman they are with/want to be with was "born a man". thank you for all this important information!

Great documentary. The part around 35 minutes where Daniela gets emotional feeling the pain of people who will be where she was... Ugh I wanted to hug her. What a kind, beautiful soul.

thank you MTV for producing this amazing video and it just makes everything more beautiful with Laverne Cox's hosting and all honest and brave souls featured in this doc. xxx Momo a transgirl from Hong Kong

Finally time. So excited and scared for you, young trans people! As a gay the only weak comparison I can make is a young gay in the 70s - to live on the cusp of such an historic time. Enviable, terrifying, unimaginable. Cannot wait to watch you infiltrate and dominate these spaces, piss *everyone* off, and get those rights! Also more than curious to see what the numbers look like when you all start really coming out.

This is my favorite documentary I understand everyone in this world now I don't know who or what I am I'm just a male with an unidentifiable sexuality, I love everyone and everything on this world and its so wrong how some people have so much hate it doesn't matter who you are, it doesn't matter what you have, your personality is what really matters and I don't want to be around a hateful person do you honestly expect someone to love you note for being like this like why can't you get that through your head!?! I have been questioned on how I feel about the transgender community for example: "would you care if you were dating someone for a long time and they came out to you as a trans?" No I would not I don't see them any different than the person I love, I really want to make an impact on this world. I will support anyone on what the believe in. I love you! And thank you Laverne Cox for presenting this wonderful documentary! I'm in tears.

Hi from EVE in the UK, I transitioned twenty years ago, when people say you are what god made you I saw have you seen God and if they are truthful they would say NO, we are real people and you can see us, so live and let live and get on with your own life and let us live as we should be .

What a beautiful and informative documentary. They are all beautiful and should be treated with respect.

This is probably the only good documentary mtv has posted!

even tho kye and his mother are fighting i think is good they still talk and im sure someday she will come around and accpet her son. all of this ppl are so beutiful and a true insperation for the world

Wow!!!! All of these people are so beautiful and amazing. Thank you for such a raw and eye opening documentary. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜❤🧡💛💚💙💜

this men and women are so strong. I cannot imagine what they go through just trying to be themselves. wish them only love and a happy life.

Im in the same situation as kye but my mum doesn't accept it at all, it's really a struggle.

Kye is just the cutest ! :)

A difficult subject? For those dealing with the issues, truly more than for those witnessing, or spectating. My heart goes out to all those who struggle to be who they know they truly are. Peace and power to all you beautiful people

Everyone of these kids are so beautiful inside and out. 😭😍 great doc!

I think I'm going to show this to my dad :) plus I love how she is trans and narrating the video

Nice baby Zoey "I'll see you there" 😙😘😚

Having a child who is trans is much better than losing your relationship with them or even worse losing them completely, people really need to learn to love and appreciate what they have before its too late.

When this originally came out in 2015 it gave me the courage to come out myself. I was 22 at the time and already dressing very masculine. Had been since I was 13 and had honestly socially transitioned but just hadn't placed a name on it. I knew the name I had since an episode of 20/20, with a transman who had a wife and family, when I was 8. He was happy and healthy and going for bottom surgery. But back to Ms Lavern Cox and this documentary. Because of you MTV I am alive. After I finally came out it took me three months to get on T and have been on it for two and a half. Six months after T I found out I had PCOS and that I had had it since my first puberty. So I had to have a hysto and overectomy three months later I had my mammogram for top surgery and found out that if I wasn't having top surgery I would have had to go in for biopsy. Turns out at 24 I was precancerous for breast cancer, and the findings of my hysto came back saying I was precancerous for cervical and ovarian cancer the cysts that I had were made of cancer. In a lot of ways you saved me MTV. Because you helped me make my first step into surgical transition. I am really glad that I can tell you that. -Logan

only 9 mins In an I love this docu

Very informative. love Lavern!

Thank you for this documentary

Really, Truly, a Marvellous Documentary! And, Ms Cox is The Best...!!! xoxox

Really Good Topic. Glad I watched this. Black community hopefully will grow and learn from this 🙏 I despise Judging people because of their orientation, to me it's just as Fked Up as Racism. Let them Live without all that having to deal with Hatefulness, I've seen it.

Wow great documentary I hope they keep doing more documentary about Trans women, I'm also a Trans Woman let us be heard and I'm notice a lot of changes in the trans community..

I'm so happy when they find love everyone deserves to be happy

Some of the bravest, truest people on Earth!!!💙💙💙

Laverne Cox is an amazing woman

i cried like three times. good documentary

That was beautifullll seriously I admire all of you and you touched the bottom of my heart❤️ even tho I am a cys girl I think that everybody should be loved for what they are and not for what society want you to be❤️ be you, be proud and be the futur of this world ❤️❤️

Very interesting! I really liked this! Thanks! :)

Every person in this video is so beautiful 😻

Transgender people make me beleive that a soul exists. Love yall.

I'm proud of your truth Laverne..keep on empowering others

I'm a pre-t trans guy and I love how real and relatable this documentary is. The downside that it's so real that it hurts.

Even though they showed footage of Ariana when she was little, she looked like a boy who long hair. So glad that all the people here are able to be themselves and feel proud!

All the couples in this documentary made my heart burst with the feels omg I love love 💕💕💕

wow they are such a beautiful bunch of people with really bright and interesting personalities.....

Daniella , your life hasn't been easy and hearig your story touched my heart . Your a beautifull strong women and have so much of life ahead , I sure your life will only get better for you , you shine like a diamond in the sky. The passed is behind you and I'm sure you are destined for goodness, take care of yourself , my Gods bless you and all your friends

Awesome ...Thanks for sharing... ;-()

Jfc Kye is so attractive. 😍

Thank you for helping me cry, Not a lot makes me cry, but I wish I could more often.

Daniella, I'm so sorry that you suffered this devastating assault. May you be safe, may you be at peace, may you be relieved of suffering. Peace be with you.

this is great. look at all the positive comments on this video!!!! this is monumental. thanks mtv for doing this doc. laverne is inspiring and such a classy lady. the world is coming around. slowly but surely.

I am a cis female and I have faith in the next generation. Our parents and grandparents may refuse to see the TRUTH and accept it, but in 2050 (I'm really reaching here) Our children and grandchildren will think of LGBTQ as normal as straight because of shows like this and how WE raise them and what we teach them. This is only the beginning. Thanks MTV

Great documentary!

This is a wonderful documentary that I use in my teaching. Would it be possible to get the subtitles activated on this video? It's really helpful to my students.

RIP Tiffany Edwards

awesome!! we need more serious documentaries like this by role models!!

this was so beautiful

I live in NOLA and L'lerret is so right.... keep doing you girl

I'm 14 now.... Me as 5: Boy's clothes played with the trucks and blocks during playtime at school. Played with all boys. Me as 7: always tried to get away with not wearing a shirt and didn't. Always told my mom I'm a boy. Me as 12: starting puberty and watching videos on trans people and realising that's me. Came out. Me now: Out and I have a male haircut using male pronouns and name. I'm happier now. There is a lot more stuff I've done as a kid that scream "TRANNY" but it's a lot to share.

This is a really great source of information about different trans experiences...I wish I could show it to my parents...but they wouldnt really understand it...wish it was in spanish/all languages

This program won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Special Class Special.

11:16 "oh ok ill see you there too" DAMNNNNN SHES 12 AND ALREADY SO SAVAGEEE

Loved this documentary! Laverne you are amazing! RISE ya'll! You are all strong and beautiful!

Daniëlle's story filled me with so much heartreak and despair. I feel sick to my stomach.. how she was treated after that attack, its heartwrenching

Zooey and her family are adorable. She’s gorgeous. I’m really happy for them. I hope the best for them. And for everyone in the community.

When did MTV become cool again?

Omg zoey is so beautiful 😍

Coming out as trans has to be so hard for you guys , but keep your head up and live your truth . I’m trying to learn more so I will be informed and not be that friend that asks 99 questions because of ignorance. But you’re all beautiful spirits and that’s all that matters

Shout out to Zoey's amazing, super-supportive mom!

Kye's Mom is so closed minded and when he was just pouring his heart out, she was just sitting there with a smile on her face. That is just so sad.

I love this

Feel so sad for them and all their struggels , mutch love sending , you are all so sweet.

Wow. An amazing documentary

This particular documentary is powerfully multifaceted and beautifully poignant in the information and how the information is conveyed, but from a purely human standpoint I couldn't help but be touched on so many levels by the little girl's comment at 11:25 -not focused so much on the context of religion in the statement but even more so on the much larger message underlying it, which is the simplicity of how powerful unconditional love is when brought to these children by those they love from the start in shaping their experience of themselves in their journey and their lives and how every child (and every human) deserves that same unconditional love so much.
