Subject: 'Being Me' a  Four Corners program about transgender kids this Mon night  Nov 17

Hi there,

Four Corners has an upcoming program about transgender kids that I thought you might be interested in.  Please see a brief synopsis below.

Synopsis
In a compelling ABC documentary, Four Corners follows 11 year old Isabelle through her journey to come out as a transgender girl. The program talks to Isabelle, her parents, and doctors about her challenges and the medical treatments available to help Isabelle.  We see her at primary school and talk to her principal about her transition from a boy to a girl and how the small country community has reacted. Four Corners also explores the changing legal and medical landscape for transgender kids.

We welcome your input before, on the evening and post broadcast and hope our program will play a small role in a very important discussion around transgender kids and their futures.

You can watch a brief excerpt from the program here: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152517115280954 .

We'll be posting more videos and info on our facebook page over the next few days in the lead up to the program so please do check in again on Saturday and Monday!

We'd love it if you could share these videos and information  with your community on Facebook or through enews on your website. We also invite you to join the conversation on twitter at @4corners or #4corners.

Our press release is attached and there is also more information available on our website: http://www.abc.net.au/4cor.../stories/2014/11/13/4127631.htm

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.  Any ideas on how to get the word out would also be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Catherine Scott
