Heather Dubrow is grateful that she’s been sharing her family’s story.

On Tuesday, the 54-year-old reality star opened up to PEOPLE about the reactions she’s received after sharing that her 12-year-old child had come out as transgender and goes by the name Ace at the Alliance For Women In Media Foundation's 48th Annual Gracie Awards Gala in Los Angeles.

“Honestly, the support has been really incredible," The Real Housewives of Orange County star told PEOPLE. "What's been most rewarding to me is being able to affect change in other people's families.”

“When we first started talking about our children, there were a lot of messages of people who were estranged from their family, from their parents or their children, or children that had taken their lives, and really terrible stories, and got so much from us telling our story, which was amazing.

How sad that she jumps on the destructive trannsy bandwagon, just to make herself feel important, and could care less about her kid.

[joshua c]

All of these woke idiots taking themselves out of the gene pool

[noiseman]

These people are defined by their shallowness and pretentiousness. Every decision they make is based upon how it will enhance their perceived social status, and if they believe that sacrificing their kids will gain them more attention and acceptance from their “woke” acquaintances, then they’ll do it in a heartbeat.

These are completely self-absorbed people with no soul and no conscience.

[lee martell]

In other words, she wants the right people to praise her and say they like her. That is the end goal. If it takes confusing and retarding the emotional growth of her child to achieve those goals, Oh Well!

[HereInTheHeartland]

These sick people are destroying their kids to create a trophy.
Sick, sick people

[eyeamok]

Lady Birthing person, you belong in PRISON and your child should be put in Foster Care to protect your child from brain washing and mutilation.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

She looks pretty good for a transgender!!!

Did she have her balls put on her chest?

[one guy in new jersey]

Diction Alert: It’s “effect change”, not “affect change”.

[jpp113]

Someone should tell her that her kid is not a new “coach” bag with which to impress her friends

[TChad]

So much vanity.

I hope the daughter does not become another Audrey Hale.

[KevinB]

“Effect” change, sweetie.

[NorthMountain]

15 on the Crazy Axis.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Well, the kids will have an affect change if they start talking in those ridiculous faux-female voices that drag queens use.

[Salman]

Criminal against humanity. War crimes trials and executions please.

[one guy in new jersey]

Indeed they will (or would). Regretfully.

[peggybac]

I worked with her years ago and really liked her. I wouldn’t have thought she’d pick the life she did but fame changes so many folks. Sad.

[fieldmarshaldj]

“Rewarding” as in evil.

[vivenne]

I think she has at least 2 trans kids—an older “girl” in college and now the younger one. Attention seeking mother—sad for the screwed up kids.

[Albion Wilde]

So, is her husband going to do the surgery?
