About a Girl Australian Story : Season 21 Episode 29

Sixteen-year-old Georgie Stone has battled prejudice, bullying and even legal hurdles to become the remarkable young woman she is today. As a transgender teen, Georgie is now trying to use her experience to help other young people. Featuring a treasure trove of home videos, Australian Story follows Georgie's life from a toddler to the young advocate she has become. "Georgie has defied gravity from the moment she was born," says her mother Bec Robertson. "Because no matter how much people have dragged her down, she has risen above it every time. And not only that, she's brought everybody with her." Georgie is now lobbying politicians for law reform so other transgender teenagers no longer have to go to court to be assessed as to their ability to understand and consent to treatment.
