When Mimi and Joe Lemay’s baby was born in 2010, they heard the three words every parent waits to hear: \"It’s a girl.\" But by age two, their child was saying \"I’m a boy.\" Mimi hoped this \"obsession with being a boy would go away,\" but it only grew stronger. Now, in a rare and candid interview, they share in their own words why they decided to let their five-year-old transgender son Jacob transition and live publicly as a boy.NBC’s Kate Snow will have more on Transgender Kids beginning Tuesday night on Nightly News.
