Do you remember a
post<http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/guy_again_eKq3Jw6LjgsjpBdmZklrtM>I
did last May about a ABC newsman, erh, newswoman, erh, newsthingie,
*Don Ennis*, who marched into the ABC news office one day in full drag,
wearing a little black dress and an auburn wig, and declared that
henceforth, his colleagues must look upon and treat him as a woman names
Dawn?
Well, Don-Dawn-Don has changed his-her-its mind, again!

**, Aug. 6, 2013, that *Ennis now says *he suffered from a two-day bout of
amnesia that has made him realize *he wants to live his life again as Don.*
In an email he wrote to friends and colleagues last Friday, which was first
obtained by the website NewsBlues.com <http://www.newsblues.com/>, Ennis
wrote:
“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 [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.
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. 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.
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. I know
my wonderful colleagues will no doubt make it easier for the next person to
transition at ABC”
Ennis had previously told friends that he suspected his sex mix-up happened
because his mother had given him female hormones as a child that made him
look and sound young to prolong a bit-part acting career, but he ended up
developing breasts and started thinking he was a woman.
The startling he-to-she-back-to-he move came after Ennis had publicly
announced on Facebook in May that he was leaving his wife of 17 years,
Wendy, to become a full-time woman.
But Ennis has now assured friends and colleagues that his switch back to
being a man isn’t a joke. He wrote: “The new change I’m revealing to you
today did not arise because I couldn’t hack it, or people wouldn’t accept
the new/real/female ‘me,’ or I had trouble finding shoes that fit (Oh, I
found plenty, more than I could afford). [...] No, I’m not f--king with
you. No this is not a joke. No, this is not an episode of ‘Would You Fall
For That?’ ”
And that, boys and girls, is why Canadian psychiatrist Joseph Berger
says<https://www.google.com/search?q=Joseph+Berger%2C+psychiatrist+Toronto&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a>“scientifically
there is no such thing as transgender.”
