ABC Normalizes Perversity

ABC’s “Primetime Family Secrets” aired Tuesday night, featuring a family in which the father went through a sex change. Though Ted Prince became “Chloe” last year, his wife stayed with him. The couple’s two sons, age seven and six, are learning to deal with the change. ABC’s Juju Chang addressed the affects on the boys, saying, “Now, developmental psychologists will tell you that if you have honest, open, frank and age-appropriate conversations, the boys will be just fine.” How “fine” are the boys? One boy explained, “She had a girl inside her and so she went on a surgery to get, get it out.” Pointing to a family photo, he added, “And this is our other mom that used to be a dad.” Sure, the boys “will be just fine.” How sad that because of their father’s narcissistic gender-disorientation pathology, these boys will grow up without a father. And shame on ABC for glorifying and attempting to normalize it.
