But as they grew older, their preferences began to show, and by the age of three, it was clear Georgie was drawn to anything that was pretty or had a skirt that could swirl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore long, Georgie was insisting that she was a girl and became distressed that she had to hide who she really was when she began school. Soon, the bullying started, and she would come home in floods of tears, begging her mother to help her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRebekah and her husband, conflicted about how to proceed and overwhelmed by fear, united in their determination to help her live freely and fearlessly. To ensure Georgie had access to medical support, they sought permission for her to begin puberty-blocking medication. Their case was the start of the long road to justice for transgender children in Australia and became the basis of the 2013 landmark decision to remove the Family Court's jurisdiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGeorgie has gone on to become one of the brightest stars of the Australian youth leadership landscape through her advocacy work. Meanwhile, Rebekah founded Transcend, a support network for transgender kids and their families in Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart memoir and part inspirational message of hope for those navigating a similar path, \u003cem\u003eAbout a Girl\u003c\/em\u003e is a thought-provoking and profoundly moving true story.
