Description

AJ Clementine always knew she was a girl. Even when her mum was pregnant with her, she was certain she was having a girl and had all the cravings and symptoms to prove it.

Imagine the confusion all round, when she was born into the 'magical' shell that looked, on the outside, like a perfect little boy.

Starting life as a boy on the outside made the world a very confusing place for AJ.

In her teens, this conflict between her outer and inner selves exploded, igniting years of anxiety and panic attacks.

In the final episode of the year, AJ shares some of the pieces of the journey of her gender transition and her transformation into a model, digital creator and transgender advocate.

AJ is a ray of light and generous with her thoughts and experiences. We unpack some of the themes of her book Girl, Transcending and find out what life has been like for AJ in the years since those dark times.
