This season will also be the “shortest season yet” due to the Jazz's dealing with mental health issues, so there might not be a full 12 episodes this time around.

During Jazz's transition, Griffen told Heavy, "Being so young we didn’t understand what transgender was. As we got older, it’s just become natural that Jazz was our sister. Just, through time, it became so natural that I don’t even think about the fact that she’s transgender. I just think of her as my sister. That’s it. That’s who she is."

I Am Jazz airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on TLC.
