Believing you were born the wrong gender can be an excruciating feeling for anyone, but it's especially tough for young children.

Recently some kids have been making incredibly difficult and controversial decisions to take drugs which delay puberty and in some cases, assist their bodies in changing genders.

Several of these children, their parents and their doctors are featured in a new FRONTLINE documentary called "Growing Up Trans" premiering tonight on PBS stations.

Filmmaker Miri Navasky, co-producer of "Growing Up Trans," and Dr. Robert Garofalo, director of the gender program at the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, join Take Two to discuss the film.
