ABC Newsman Who Decided To Become A Woman Has Changed His Mind
Mediaite ^ | 8/6/2013 | Andrew Kirell

In May we reported that ABC News editor Don Ennis walked into his New York City office wearing a small black dress and a brunette wig and told his coworkers that he is legally changing his name to Dawn Stacey Ennis. Several months later, it turns out, Ennis has decided he no longer wants to be a woman.

Back then, Ennis, 49, wrote to his colleagues: “This is not a game of dress-up, or make-believe. It is my affirmation of who I now am and what I must do to be happy, in response to a soul-crushing secret that my wife and I have been dealing with for more than seven years, mostly in secret.” But late last week, in an email to colleagues, Ennis revealed that a two-day bout with “transient global amnesia” has revealed to him that he is not actually transgender.

The New York Post excerpted bits from the new letter, which Ennis titled “Not Reportable, Very Confirmed”:

“I accused my 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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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.

What happens to someone who has a Weiner-ectomy and then decides he wants a Weiner-transplant? Can that operation be done and undone?

Is there a spare Weiner bank? Can you freeze your Weiner in case you want to go back?

Can you sell your Weiner to a woman who thinks she’s a man? What if you want it back?

A pretty good argument for homosexuality being a mental disorder.

great story
i have tons of problems, but after reading this, not so much.
I did read about one person that changed genders. donald(deidre) mcclosky a semi well known academic economist. He was 6-3 230, married for 30 years, 53 years old and had two kids and changed into a female.
At least he didn’t ask for government help.

excuse was offered up for changing his mind.


My Dad would tell me, “a fool never changes his mind, a wise man does often.” Of course he would tell me this right after he changed his mind.

Everyone is having such a good time, I hate to spoil their fun by suggesting they read the entire article.

After the guy declared his intent to undergo transgender surgery, he went to a hospital for prerequisite tests. Those tests discovered he was suffering from a hormonal imbalance.

It appears treatment for that imbalance is what “reset” him.

If it was the wig he wanted, he could have settled for a toupe but of course everyone would KNOW that was fake!

During an episode of transient global amnesia, your recall of recent events simply vanishes, so you can’t remember where you are or how you got there. You may also draw a blank when asked to remember things that happened a day, a month or even a year ago. With transient global amnesia, you do remember who you are, and recognize the people you know well, but that doesn’t make your memory loss less disturbing.

Kind like getting really really drunk and the next day when you wake . . . up . . . you . . . uh . .uh . Where am I?

Wouldn't that indicate 'he' was a woman?

What the heck is “transient global amnesia” ?

It's what the media has regarding the homeless when a Democrat is in office.

I don’t think “Dawn” went under the knife, but was rather at the “self-identifying” stage of the process when the great reversal took place.

Can you sell your Weiner to a woman who thinks she’s a man?

Gives a whole new meaning to the term "Organ Donor."
