Dr. Who, Francine Jones

Did you know that Adjoa Andoh has a transgender son?
Actor Adjoa Andoh's son sensed from a very young age that although he inhabits the body of a girl, he was born a boy. "In the imperfect language we have to describe people," she says, "we call him transgender."

Adjoa talks movingly about raising a transgender child, and about what really defines who we are or who we might become. "In too many places today," she says, "and in too many ways, we suffocate our true potential selves at birth."
Listen to her talk about her son on BBC Radio 4 (Unfortunately they do not have an Embed link)
