What's Behind the Rise of Transgender TV The Disney-owned cable network has handed out a straight-to-series pickup for My Transparent Life, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The docuseries, from Ryan Seacrest Productions, centers on a teen named Ben who learns his parents are not only getting a divorce, but also that his father is becoming a woman.

What the hell has happened to this country???
I don’t like to issue this type of rant, but honestly, if this isn’t end times then I can’t imagine what they would look like.
Ryan Seacrest is powerful in the entertainment industry and gay. So it makes perfect sense that this project got the green light.
Yes.
Exactly. Family my butt. I block that channel on our system, along with all Disney backed crap.
Never knew he was gay. Must be at least bi because he was doing Tiger Woods castoffs.
I am sorry I binged “Ryan Seacrest gay”.
That was my take also. So what as the Julianne Hough charade about? She lived with the person for two years????
Not even Disney anymore more Michael Eisner company than Walt Disney family own
disgusting
btw, the first show ABC Family ever ordered after buying the channel was about people shacking up, so this is no surprise
I’ve heard the name, but I couldn’t pick him out of a lineup.
You should see the crap they put on HBO Family
This needs a barf alert.
Never heard of him, but I don’t watch trash TV.
The sidebar of UK mail frequently has an article about this man’s latest beard. There must be an entire entertainment division that does nothing but hetero PR for him.
Do people actually watch things like that?
You are right about that!
Quit watching Modern Family - they really were pushing that gay stuff way overboard. Only good one is The Middle.
I guess they are just going along with the program:
