How Jenni became Jonathan | DW Documentary
An unusual story about love and identity: Ten years ago, Jenni and Julia were a lesbian couple. Today, they’re husband and wife.
Jenni and Julia were still in school when they fell in love in 2015. At first, they thought they were like any other gay couple. But Jenni felt increasingly uncomfortable in her own skin, until she decided to transition. She took hormones, her body changed, and she became who she is today – Jonathan. Today, the couple is in their late 20s, and happily married, as husband and wife. Together, they look back at the journey that lays behind them, and the adventures that still may come. A film by Almut Röhrl.

It's rather typical that people hate the freedom we europeans have in how we choose to live our lives.
Purititita disforia…
Waste of data
This is part of „being God“.
Yet, humans have a record (not „track“, because a record is always traceable) of being unable to be God. Remember, we all die!
I prefer to accept God and his promises of care, forgiveness, goodness and life despite death.
Big noise about a tiny minority.
Live & let live, but this fashion isn’t my cup of tea.
So I don’t support it- expecting this view to be accepted as any other view on this!
Funny how the pharmaceutical industry is pilloried, but then this whole trans thing is built around a lifetime of multiple prescription drugs – a multimillion customer for big pharma
I'm really glad that they're happy and their parents are supportive. It must have been a tough time for them through all this process. It's sad, though, to see so much hatred against people who didn't harm anyone or anything.
Thank you very much to the couple and their parents for sharing this! It can be very hard to see pictures from before and to hear and see your deadname. So again: Thank you for your courage and your encouragement!
I went directly to the comment section and it has not disappointed 😂
🎶🎶🎶"Every knee shall bow!"
GOD is not the author of confusion.
JESUS IS RETURNING SOON!
ST JOHN 3:16!
"Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord."
Hebrews 12:14!
What is the confusion? MANY don't understand what HOLINESS IS. But they will.
The important question isn’t how Jeni became Jonathan — that’s clear to all of us. The real question is why.
It’s not normal for the normal people…
Unsusbcribe 😂
"Beam Me Up Scotty" !
End of the day regardless of peoples view's this couple aren't causing any harm to anyone.
Guaayyyyy
Filth.
Ah, young people! They think love will last forever… it doesnt
Ah, it's June again… Only 2 more weeks to go
LOL, they want us to accept them for who they are, where they could not accept themselves for what they were.
So a short video discussing the mentally ill? 😂
wehe man akzeptiert sich so wie man ist…
This made my stomach turn😢
You should contact Buck Angel. He is a trans man that did not have bottom surgery and is very happy. He's also a great guy. 😊
Beautiful story. If Jonathan's mother had been taught to evaluate people based on their personalities and characters and values instead of what is in between their legs, she wouldn't have had as hard a time accepting her child's sexuality and subsequent gender changes. But she and her husband did finally come around and it's great to see that they are so supportive. They have kept their family intact and healthy.
Julia's mom actually looked pretty masculine to me, but it wouldn't be fair to judge her by that impression, would it?
Please do the 42% trick
Make asylum great again
Even though I knew DW was bias towards the left, this Docummentary branch was mostly unbias and neutral and informative. But they've dropped the pretense now. The veil has been pulled back and now it's just slop
At this point you might as well rename DW as WeimarTV.
