Jazz Jennings
She may be just 16 years old, but this American transgender teenager has grabbed the world attention by being an LGBT activist, YouTube celebrity, and a television personality. Jennings first rose to fame in 2007 when her interview with Barbara Walters aired on 20/20. Her story of being a transgender kid raised many eyebrows back then. Jazz Jennings was born in 2000 as a male, but in 2004, she was diagnosed with gender identity disorder. By 2007, Jazz Jennings began dressing up as a girl. Her parents, Greg and Jeanette, accepted Jennings's transgender behavior and supported her. In fact, the family started a foundation named Transkids Purple Rainbow Foundation to help kids dealing with gender identity disorders.
