Returning: I Am Jazz

US transgender teen reality I Am Jazz, profiling Jazz Jennings, returns for its fourth season on TLC next week.

I Am Jazz returns to chronicle the journey of transgender teen Jazz Jennings as she faces the typical struggles of a high school student including issues with dating, body image and social anxiety.

Although assigned male at birth, Jazz has been living as a girl since kindergarten. Jazz’s parents Jeanette and Greg and siblings Ari, Griffen and Sander have stood side by side with Jazz as she’s battled discrimination hate speech, online bullying, and other misconceptions associated with what it means to be transgender.

This season, Jazz faces the unique and unexpected challenge of having to lose 14kg in order to move forward with her gender confirmation surgery. After choosing the ideal surgeon, she learns that she may not be able to get the standard confirmation surgery she was previously promised.

This new development sets in motion a series of obstacles that might prove to be the most difficult Jazz has ever experienced. Jazz will need to rely on her friends and family more than ever through this most challenging of times.

Mondays from 19 November at 9.30pm on TLC.
