The Dr. Phil program plans to re-air an October 2008 episode that misrepresents transgender children and features the biased view of an anti-LGBT activist.

On the October 29, 2008 episode of Dr. Phil titled "Gender-Confused Kids," Dr. Phil McGraw interviewed transgender children and their parents. The show featured two guests, Dr. Dan Siegel from UCLA who specializes in pediatrics and transgender issues, as well as Glenn Stanton, research fellow for the anti-LGBT organization Focus on the Family.

Wasn't problematic to Dr. Phil.  Lots of talk about it, people downloading it who never watched the show in the first place, press coverage - so of course they are going to run it again.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...
