Story
Growing up isn't easy - when you feel as if your mind is one gender, and your body another.
A Transgender Childhood was produced for the 2008 TCF ShortDocs Challenge: Radio Ephemera.
Producer
Tina Antolini has produced radio stories on everything from the sex lives of lobsters to a secret bunker in the woods of Massachusetts that houses an archive of East German films. She's now a producer at the new NPR show State of the Re:Union, having previously produced for Pulse of the Planet, and a slew of national and local NPR and PRI programs. A graduate of Hampshire College and the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies, Antolini won a 2009 Gracie Award for her series documenting the transgender community in western New England.
