Don, er, Dawn Ennis
Yes, you read that headline right. And no, this is not a Saturday Night Live skit outline. I have to say I’m a bit confused though: isn’t it trans-o-phobic and bigotry to talk about homoronal “imbalance”? I mean, c’mon, it’s who he is. I mean she. Never forget that there’s a reason the “GLBT (etc.)” crowd locks arms. They all have the same problem, and anyone confused about any aspect of it is confused about it all.
Top ABC News producer Don Ennis walked into his Manhattan office on Friday in a “little black dress” and a brunette bobbed wig and announced to colleagues that from now on, he would like to be known as Dawn.
The 49-year-old father of three said he’s splitting from his wife of 17 years to become a woman, or Dawn Stacey Ennis, as she is now known on her governmental records.
“Today I begin anew,” she wrote on her Facebook timeline, where she debuted a flirty new profile picture.
“Please understand: This is not a game of dress-up, or make- believe. It is my affirmation of who I now am and what I must do to be happy, in response to a soul-crushing secret that my wife and I have been dealing with for more than seven years, mostly in secret.”
Ennis said she suffers from an “unusual hormonal imbalance,” and blames her mother, who fed her female hormones as a child to prolong a commercial acting career. The hormones made the little boy look and sound young, but Ennis said she eventually developed breasts.
