'Please make it die a horrible, painful death': Transgender teen Jazz Jennings reveals the hurtful comments and violent death threats she receives from online trolls
- The 14-year-old is the star of the TLC reality show I Am Jazz
- On the latest episode, she reads comments left on her YouTube videos calling her 'it' instead of 'she' and claiming the devil is tricking her
- Her older brothers, Sander and Griffen, are shocked that strangers would say such awful things about their little sister
Jazz Jennings, the star of TLC's I Am Jazz, has to deal with all the usual problems associated with being a teenage girl, the obstacles of being transgender, and - as she revealed on last night's episode of the reality series – a constant stream of cruel comments, and even violent death threats.
While the 14-year-old spends most of her days doing normal, 14-year-old-girl things, strangers who take issue with the way she lives her life sit down at their computers, miles away from her Florida home, and threaten to kill her.
On the latest issue of her reality series, the teen reads some of the violent, hurtful comments people have made on her YouTube videos - much to the shock of her big brothers.

Famous teen: Jazz Jennings (pictured) recently read out loud the hateful comments she receives in an episode of her TLC show, I am Jazz
Family love: The 14-year-old's brothers, Sander and Griffin, were shocked by threats made to their little sister
Sad strangers: The three teens sat down at the computer together and Jazz began reading the comments on one of her YouTube videos out loud
In a clip from the show, Jazz is seen sitting in front of the family computer with her older twin brothers, Sander and Griffen.
Jazz pulls up her YouTube page, and her brothers are impressed that a video she has recently uploaded has been viewed 150,000 times and has 400 comments.
With Jazz in control of the mouse, they navigate to the comments section, and Jazz starts to read what people have said out loud.
'Do you have to shave yours legs more than once a day?' she reads.
'That's just weird,' says her brother, and Jazz laughs. But her tone quickly changes as she moves on to the next comment.
Not right: The transgender teen is used to strangers talking about her on the internet
Hateful: She seemed hurt and taken aback when one commenter called her 'it' and said he would shoot her
Protective: Sander and Griffin said that they thought it was 'insane' for someone to say such 'cruel' things
'Sad that the devil is tricking you into thinking you were meant to be a girl,' she reads, her voice shifting from flippant to more serious. 'You're a boy and always will be male. 'Cause an individual is a man. There is no such thing as transgender. That's something that was made up to make homosexuality sound good and accepted.'
'Wow,' says one of her brothers, before trying to grab the mouse from her sister to protect her. 'I think we're done reading these.'
But Jazz is sucked in and continues to read: 'Someone please shoot it, if not I'm going to kill it myself and make it die a horrible, painful death.'
'Is 'it' referring to you?' Sander asks, shocked.
'Yeah,' says Jazz, also seemingly stunned.
Leave her alone: Her protective big brothers even tried to stop her from reading the comments when they were getting too vicious
Strong and confident: Jazz advised her Twitter followers to 'stay positive' and 'keep moving forward' when people say negative things
While Jazz has heard and read hurtful things said about her before, her big brothers seem unprepared to learn that such hatred is aimed at their little sister.
'I didn't think anyone could be so cruel, to say that they would shoot my sister,' Griffen tells the camera. 'Like, that's insane.'
But as taken aback as Jazz might have been, the resilient high schooler bounced back, tweeting during the episode: 'If someone says something negative then their opinion shouldn't even matter. Stay positive, love yourself and keep moving forward.'
