[quote=Anonymous]I feel terrible for Jazz. To me, the show comes off as child exploitation and a document of parental neglect. In addition to the turmoil of having gender identity issues, Jazz suffers from depression (and gender dysphoria is most often comorbid with mental illness like depression or anxiety). I think it's irresponsible to make Jazz into a reality star during this vulnerable life stage and in this vulnerable emotional state.

The parents constantly put Jazz into situations that are highly stressful and unnecessary. Like having Jazz confront people who've spoken hate speech, whether on a radio show or at a lecture where they knew an antagonistic person would be in the audience. It seems like Jazz's mom pushes for these confrontations with near glee.

The mother seems to be focused on seeking fame at whatever cost. I hate to say it, because it comes off as buying into the overbearing mother stereotype, but it's true. Also, the dad does not do nearly enough to put his foot down when it comes to matters of guarding Jazz's emotions. And the woman who co-authored the children's book on Jazz also seems to put fame above Jazz's well-being.[/quote]
