Transgender ABC new editor switches from man, to woman, to man
Metro News ^ | 08/09/2013 | Morgan Rousseau

ABC News editor Don Ennis suffered a very public identity crisis by switching his gender twice in a three-month period, and posting a workplace memo attributing his actions to amnesia.

According to a report by The New York Post, Ennis started dressing as a woman and going by the name “Dawn” in May, but recently switched back to being a “just another boring straight guy.”

In a memo posted to the newsroom bulletin board Friday and first obtained by the website NewsBlues.com, Ennis called the episode a “transient global amnesia” and said he accused his wife of playing “some kind of cruel joke, dressing me up in a wig and bra and making fake ID’s with the name ‘Dawn’ on it. Seriously.”

The memo went on to say:

“It became obvious this was not the case once I took off the bra — and discovered two reasons I was wearing one,” he said, referring to his hormone-induced breasts.

“I thought it was 1999 . . . and I was sure as hell that I was a man,” Ennis said in the e-mail titled “Not Reportable, Very Confirmed.”

“Fortunately, my memories of the last 14 years have since returned. But what did not return was my identity as Dawn,” said Ennis, who had been wearing lipstick, skirts and heels.

“I am writing to let you know I’m changing my name . . . to Don Ennis. That will be my name again, now and forever. And it appears I’m not transgender after all.

“I have retained the much different mind-set I had in 1999: I am now totally, completely, unabashedly male in my mind, despite my physical attributes,” he said.

“I’m asking all of you who accepted me as a transgender to now understand: I was misdiagnosed.

“I am already using the men’s room and dressing accordingly,” he noted.

“It’s so odd to be experiencing this from the other side; as recently as last Friday, I felt I was indeed a woman, in my mind, body and soul.

“Even though I will not wear the wig or the makeup or the skirts again, I promise to remain a strong straight ally, a supporter of diversity and an advocate for equal rights and other LGBT issues including same-sex marriage.”

No matter what this clown ever does it’ll always be inaccurate to refer to him as a man

IMO demon possessed. It is gone or hiding, for now. They rarely go away for good on their own. He should run, not walk, to church. The next time he becomes "Dawn" "she" may take certain steps to prevent him from escaping, er, intact a second time.

I think it just figured out that it couldn’t get laid as a woman. Time to go back to just being a fag.

Looks like he had his “Mrs. Garrison” moment:

MRS. GARRISON
Hello doctor, looks like I need an abortion.

DOCTOR
...an abortion?

MRS. GARRISON
Yeah, I’ve got one growing inside me.
Now, are you gonna scramble its brains
or just vacuum it out? ...If you want
you can just scramble it and I’ll queef
it out myself.

DOCTOR
Mmister Garrison-

MRS. GARRISON
Mrs. Garrison.

DOCTOR
Mmrs. Garrison, you can’t have an abortion.

MRS. GARRISON
Don’t you tell me what I can and can’t
do with my body! A woman has a right
to choose!

DOCTOR
No, I mean you’re physically unable
to have an abortion, because you can’t
get pergnant.

MRS. GARRISON
But I missed my period.

DOCTOR
You can’t have periods either. You
had a sex change, Mr. Garrison, but
you don’t have ovaries or a womb. You
don’t produce eggs.

MRS. GARRISON
You mean, I’ll never know what it feels
like to have a baby growing inside me
and then scramble its brains and vacuum
it out?

DOCTOR
N-that’s right.

MRS. GARRISON
But I paid five thousand dollars to
be a woman. This would mean I I’m not
really a woman. Ih, I’m just a... a
I’m just a guy with a mutilated penis!

DOCTOR
Basically, yes.

MRS. GARRISON
...Oh boy, do I feel like a jackass.

LOL. I was referring to the original John Wayne however. apparently miss marmlestein has taken some grief from freepers for being a fan of the Duke.

Gender jumping doesn’t cure a person of idiot.

Perhaps s-he should keep the clothes, etc., just in case.

Many have bad hair days.

S-he could have bad gender days. By keeping the clothes, etc., s-he could dress according to the daily mood.

Probably a good idea to identify male/females by cromosomes? You know, libs...that science we backward Christians reject?

Just wait until he decides he’s a pony.

So just to confirm.

You can choose your sex, but unless you are a Leftist you can’t yet choose your race, and no one can yet choose their species.

Gotta wonder if he switched from bottled water to tap and back again...

There are all sorts of weird chemicals inthe tap water of big cities these days...

One of the reasons Metrosexuals live in Metropolitan areas.....

Agreed. This makes sense if one starts with GOD, not man. God can say what man is or is not because he is our Creator. He made us male and female, period.

Any other “story” is from the serpent.
