Cristan Williams, Executive Director of the Transgender Foundation of America, spoke with ABC News about the controversy Ablow initiated, saying, "Ablow is a pop-psychologist trained in criminal psychology. He's making claims about a specialized field of medicine and psychology that he's simply not qualified to make. He's making the same sort of debunked claims made by known hate groups and while he's entitled to his personal opinions, it certainly seems unethical to use the platform Fox News gives him to make claims that are not only demonstrably false, but can be incredibly harmful to transgender children who are already at significant risk of bullying as suicide."

The most moronic part of this guys rant is, unless someone tells the children this guy used to be a girl, they would never know. How can any child be traumatized by watching this? It's just the uber right wing trying to attack anyone and everything that isn't 100% -just like they are-.
