I Am Jazz is a reality television show that premiered on the TLC network in July of 2015. The show follows the life of Jazz Jennings, a teenage transgender girl who is determined to live her life as authentically as possible. Jazz, who was born a boy, identified as female from a very young age and began living as a girl with the support of her family when she was just five years old.

Throughout the series, viewers get to see Jazz navigate the challenges of being a transgender girl in a society that is still learning how to accept and understand gender identity. Jazz is an incredibly bright and articulate young woman, and she is a fierce advocate for LGBTQ rights. She uses her platform on the show to educate others about the transgender community and to challenge stereotypes and misconceptions.

One of the main themes of the show is Jazz's journey to undergo gender confirmation surgery.

Jazz is open and honest about the physical and emotional challenges of the procedure, and she shares her fears and hopes with viewers throughout her journey.

Another important aspect of the show is Jazz's friendships and relationships. She has a tight-knit group of friends who support her through the ups and downs of teenage life, and she also has a boyfriend, Ahmir. Jazz and Ahmir's relationship is an important exploration of what it means to be a transgender girl in a romantic relationship, and viewers get to see the couple navigate difficult conversations about identity and sexuality.

The show also features Jazz's supportive and loving family. Her parents, Jeanette and Greg, are understanding of her identity and work tirelessly to ensure that she can be who she is without fear of discrimination or harassment. Jazz's siblings, Ari and Sander, also feature prominently in the show, and viewers get to see the typical sibling dynamics of fighting and teasing alongside the unwavering support and love that they have for each other.

Throughout the series, Jazz faces many challenges that are unique to her experience as a transgender girl. She deals with bullying and harassment from her peers, as well as anxiety and depression related to her gender dysphoria. However, she never gives up on her path to living as her true self, and she remains a beacon of hope and inspiration for viewers.
