Dr. Keith Ablow's Fox News Piece On Chaz Bono? Don't Let Your Kids Read It!

I advise parents to not allow their children to read Dr. Keith Ablow's Fox News piece titled, "Don't Let Your Kids Watch Chaz Bono On 'Dancing With the Stars'."

Here's why: Many of the children who might be reading will be establishing a sense of self which includes, of course, a sexual/​gender identity. Some will be girls becoming comfortable with dramatic changes in their minds. Some will be boys coming to terms with integrating the dawn of manhood with exquisite feelings of vulnerability. Young readers will include tomboyish girls and sensitive, less stereotypically "masculine" boys. They will also include children who have sustained the losses of loved ones and are wrestling with depression, perhaps wondering who they are absent their deceased mothers or fathers.
