That first schoolyard crush can challenge even the most confident of tweens, but when the child in question is transgender, it can present an entirely unique set of hurdles.
On a special edition of "20/20," Barbara Walters interviewed Jazz, an 11-year-old transgender girl whom she first met in 2007, as part of a new profile. Though Jazz has a supportive parents and friends, she isn't entirely prepared for how to come out as transgender to a new crush.
Explaining that she's fully "attracted to boys," Jazz -- who plays on the girls' soccer team and is female on her passport -- tells Walters, "If any boys decline me because of my situation, I just know they're not right for me at all."
Jazz is also the subject of the documentary "I Am Jazz: A Family in Transition," which premiered on Oprah Winfrey's OWN network in 2012, On Top Mag notes.
