Transgender girl says she is rejected by straight guys for 'having male parts'
Transgender
teens Claire, Devon, Arin and Katie have set out to expose the harsh reality of
modern, teen relationships.
Claire,
from Virginia, meets some guys that she likes, only to be rejected by him as
soon as he finds out she was born a boy
With
the help of her friends, she builds up courage to speak to boys, saying:
"I'm excited as there are a lot of cute guys out there."
The
boys, who were originally attracted to Claire, did not call after finding out
that she is trans.
"That's
it, silence," says Claire. "Like nothing from them again."
Claire has also begun making social media
diaries of her transition, sharing her experiences with transgender teens
across the world.
Hoping on finding a
boyfriend, she reveals that she doesn't like telling people the truth and is
desperate for an operation.
She says: "In a
lot of ways, I don't like telling a guy. Once I tell him all respect goes out
of the window.
"Straight guys
just can't get over you having the male parts.
"Once I've had
or get the surgery, I think it will change a lot for me because right now if I
meet a straight guy and he doesn't know - we can't get physical if I don't tell
him.
"And then if he
finds out, things just get so complicated, I can't even begin to explain."
It's not all doom and gloom as
the programme reveals some success stories.
Arin Andrews has
found love with Katie Hill and both look like they're the perfect teenage
American couple in love.
They hang out
together, see friends and go to the movies, but their love is one in a million
- Arin was born a girl and Katie was born a boy. They are both transgender .
