And he has 2 SONS, what will this do to them. Will they have problems? How do they explain that their dad is now their other mother?

Ok, here was the interesting thing to me. He, or she, the one from today, Tammy I think, said she's still heterosexual. This kind of puzzled me. Ok, so you feel like a woman, want to be a woman, but you still like women, which technically doesn't make you gay, because technically she's still a man. ???????????? How does this work? She's getting a vagina, and will till be sttracted to women. Will "she" say she's gay to people, or will she expalin that she used to be a man? Will he be considered a female on forms, or does he still have to check male??? How would that work with forms if he had to have his birth certificate and it says male???

This kind of thing is just too confusing to everyone involved. I think they're being selfish in the long run. But at the same time, they'd be living a lie. Better to stop it now, than never. Or is it?

Soror, after reading all of that, I have a headache! I didn't see the show. Were the children in all cases ADULTchildren or under 18?

And Oprah, I thought you were going to retire after the 9/11 buzz went away...
