Last week, Fox News psychiatrist Keith Ablow decided to move beyond diagnosing celebrities he's never met -- like Chaz Bono and Bill Maher -- to pick on children. Like Tammy, an 11-year-old transgender child.
Tammy, a biological boy who has identified as a girl since age 3, recently appeared in a CNN story. Tammy is on the cusp of puberty; to give her more time to decide if she will continue to live as a girl, Tammy's parents, doctors and therapists have decided to intervene medically to postpone puberty.
