Watching Chaz Bono on TV Won't Confuse Children
By Jeremy Kinser
CHAZ BONO 20110910 X390 (GETTY) | ADVOCATE.COM
Whew! The American Psychiatric Association says it's OK for children to
watch Chaz Bono compete on ABC's Dancing With the Stars, reports website TMZ.
APA president John M. Oldham, MD, acknowledges that Gender Identity Disorder
is a psychiatric disorder, but tells TMZ, "There is no evidence that
viewing a television game show with a transgender contestant would induce
Gender Identity Disorder in young people."
Oldham's statement is a welcome contradiction to Keith Ablow, a psychiatrist
and frequent Fox News contributor, who previously urged parents not to let
their children watch the upcoming season of the popular ABC series. He also
mistakenly characterized Bono as a "transsexual woman," referred to him with
female pronouns, and called him a "very disordered person." | g********d
