Hi,
The latest iteration of The Baby Sitter's Club on Netflix has a transgender child character. Below is an article and brief video on Kai Shappley.

Awsome!!

Thanks. I sure wish I had the freedom to experiment & decide who & what I was at that age like she has.
Sorry haven't been around a while, I've been busy. It takes all my time, energy, & money just to survive with severe COPD at my age during a pandemic. Please donate to Betty's to help my friends.
I actually do get to Betty's every day for regular maintenance, security, & quickly check things out before I have to move onto other stuff.
Anywho, here's the video of the episode:

I would like to thank Andy G for the original post and links, and of course Betty for providing our platform and the additional effort and bandwidth to provide the downloads. I took advantage and downloaded both of them.
I have read the 2 articles which Andy G has posted and was glad to read them. I also read a couple of further Good Housekeeping TG related articles from the links provided in the article about Kai.
I have viewed the documentary but not the Babysitters Club video yet.
Betty, you are not the only one who wishes that they could have had the opportunities that Kai was fortunate enough to have. I was an only child and of the 6 first cousins who lived close enough to see regularly, they were all female and at least several years older. One of my older cousins said that she and her older sister would babysit me when I was just a baby and dress me up in girl doll clothes. If I was allowed to live as a girl I think I would have had a much happier childhood.

I had the chance to view the Baby Sitters Club episode and thought it was good.
SPOILER ALERT
Kai played her real self, a young trans girl. She developed a fever and her babysitter who had problems asserting herself finally did so after she had to call for an ambulance and then stood up to the ER Dr and nurse who were using male pronouns and wanting to have Kai put on a blue gown.
