Watch: Massive Beleidigung gegen Transgender-Teenager

Die Zuhörer konnten in die Show anrufen und Fragen direkt an Jazz Jennings stellen. Einer davon, Alex, erklärte dabei, dass sie sich dort, wo er herkomme, auch gleich umbringen könne - im O-ton:

"I’m just trying to wrap my head around this… how do you even approach dating? Honestly you may as well kill yourself back where I’m from. Trying to date in school in your condition… even if you could find some [swear word] – you have a penis right? So, what happens on the third date?”

Doch Jazz Jennings zeigte sich äusserst schlagfertig und lieferte die wohl bestmögliche Antwort darauf:

"I think the reason why the dating situation is very difficult is because a lot of people think like you. They are ignorant, uneducated, and they don’t know the situation. And I know that one day I will find someone out there who does accept me for who I am and who does realize that I’m beautiful no matter what. It doesn’t matter what’s between my legs, it’s what’s between my ears and what’s in my chest, my heart and I wish everyone could understand that, including yourself."
