National Geographic
examines the
‘gender revolution’
The January 2017 issue of National Geographic, which focuses on “the gender revolution,” features a 9-year-old transgender girl who is believed to be the first trans person on the 128-year-old publication’s cover.
“The best part of being a girl,” says Avery Jackson in the accompanying caption, “is, now I don’t have to pretend to be a boy.” Jackson began her transition at age 4, and her parents have become her staunchest advocates.
In connection with this, a two-hour documentary, Gender Revolution: A Journey with Katie Couric, will premiere Monday, Feb. 6.
The January issue will be available on print newsstands beginning Dec. 27 and online in its entirely at NatGeo.com/gender revolution on Jan. 3.
