MY TRANS LIFE
RTE Two, 9.30pm
In the first of this gripping series My Trans Life gives the viewer an intimate portrait of the lives of five young transgender people on their journey to transition.
Filmed over the course of two years, the docu mini-series is a no holds barred look into the reality of undergoing such change. In July 2015 Irish citizens were given the right to change their legal gender based on self-identification alone, without medical or state intervention.
This made Ireland a global leader in trans-rights and one of just five countries in the world that has legislation based on selfdetermination.
