I think the mothers are putting words in these childrens mouths...Also the oldest daughter is doing the same thing with the youngest one. They should be ashamed of themselves....
I don't care what anyone says ,every1 is so brainwashed by this PC sensitivity crap..this is NOT normal and the father is selfish for destroying many women's lives...it took this MAN -ok people? -40 yrs to come to terms with this so did he expect his children to magically be ok with this overnight? i honestly hate people like this and how dare he call himself the victim. i'm glad dr phil addressed the issue from the family's side instead of the 'poor me' transgendered person
evryone(or at least many here) claim that the dother is selfish for feeling the way she feel. well then let me ask you this, is the father selfish for feeling the way he feel? for feeling like wanting to be a woman?
Dr. Phil is a big fraud calling himself a psychiatrist! He is nothing more than a junk tv talk show host! This poor man/woman didn't do this to hurt his daughters, and his daughters needs to start acting more adult and TRY to understand and TRY to learn more about his situation and give him a chanse! Eventho he/she went by this all wrong he doesn't need to be punished like this, not by his daughters and especially not by a "psychiatrist"!
Dr. Phil says he's not trying to be biased but he clearly believes transgenderism is a choice. He could be using this platform to help the girls understand what a transgendered person is, and therefore be an advocate for this population. Dr. Phil fails! Epic fail!
To those saying accept Michael/Kayla, you couldn't be more wrong. If that's the way he felt he shouldn't have had children. It's one thing for gay peopel to adopt but quite another to put your kids through this. The girls aren't being selfish, Michael is.
@horseangels Please have some compassion. Obviously, its hard for the children but Dr. Phil is demonizing this transgendered person when he should be educating the public on the complexities of gender identity. Fear and misunderstanding is what drives homophobia/trans-phobia.
@larazanz I do have compassion - for the kids. And despite what you may think although I do not agree with any of this, neither do I believe in tormenting anyone who is different from me. However, once children are in the picture, THE KIDS COME FIRST!!!! When there is a choice of either take the hurt on yourself or let your kids hurt, you ALWAYS carry the burden and you NEVER let your kids feel like this.
@horseangels This girls are not young children. they have the capacity to show compassion, educate themselves on transgenderism and grow. Kayla hasnt done anything intentionally to them by transitioning. If you are a boy born on the outside with a female brain it is hard and uncontrollable. Clearly she tried to suppress her transgenderism and married and had children due to the terrible pain of the societal stigma. the is the compassion I am asking for.
@larazanz My compassion is staying right where it is - with the girls. I don't agree with this either and while I DO NOT believe in tormenting anyone neither myselfor anyone else is obligated to "grow." The girls may, and apparently do, think this is wrong and they have that right. But it really doesn't even matter what either of us believe because, once kids are born THEY KIDS SHOULD HAVE COME FIRST. They didn't and they don't owe Michael anything.
@JohnJancar I completely agree that they need to except him for who he is now, but i feel like he should have done it when they were very young as apposed to being older. If one of my parents had a sex change, yes i would accept them, but at the same time i would be heartbroken and it would take me a while to be comfortable with them again. (by the way i changed my username)
@karatetresha Well they need to understand, this is his life and his choice. They want him to just conform to their wishes, even if it means he won't be happy with himself. Just so they won't have to face their issues of prejudice and victim mentalities. They just need to accept it and love him anyways. Who says they can't have a relationship, who says they can't have fun times, who says they can't be best friends, who says he can't be a moral example. They just won't have it unless HE IS A MAN.
I fully support Michael/Kayla in this, I think the daughters are being totally selfish and intolerant. Love is supposed to be unconditional. You're supposed to love someone, no matter who they are. Point is, if he wants to become a woman, he has the right. If that is his true happiness, he shouldn't have to sacrifice that, just so these kids won't have an issue. They need to get over their issue, get over their bias, get over their "I don't have a dad" victim mentality, and accept the situation!
Your a smartass, defensive, snotty, to all because of how much you want everyone to accept you as a woman now! That is a beautiful, sentimental poem Christina. If he doesn't see who and what is going to be changed, sitting stone faced, having nothing to say in response. Even not thinking of how much she is destroying Christinas dreams in looking forward to her wedding day. There critisisms on this is lagitimate. After he dropped the bomb so many times on so many things.
a man changes his gender, does it the wrong way, hurts his children, messes up his relationship with his children, acts like he is the victim, n kinda blames them for feeling like they lost their father, besically gives up his resposibilty as a father n u expect dr.phill to sit there n just be impartial. c'mon anyone with common sense n strong value would be on the girls side n tell this person to step it up n be a father
These are kids who have been told their father is dead, and that they have to accept a new person, who wants the respect due a parent, but hasn't done anything to earn that respect AS Kayla. Kayla could, possibly, have some sort of relationship if she wanted to work on it, and Kayla has to take the burden, and no one will have the same relationship...but Kayla just deflects everything. I think it's less about the gender and more about the identity of a parent or father just being erased.
The father has done a horrible job at describing that it's Gender IDENTITY disorder. Her (the father) identity has completely changed. Dr Phil, whom I don't even like, had a good point 2 mins in. They've had no therapy, jointly, to deal with this. They should have had therapy together AS he was going through it. I don't put all the blame on Kayla, but at the same time, Kayla wants to still have some sort of relationship as a parent, but doesn't want to be the person they've known all their lives
The dad had alot of chances to explain but he didn't even try. Yes it's hard for everyone and yes he did this the wrong way but he is not even trying to make the first moves and he's pushing them away instead of getting to understand. He is definitely shelfish.
i hate how dr phil does not explain why it is hard for the father... although how he did the transition was inappropiate... his kids needs to understand what he is going though,, like the thoughts and all. it is not easy. I do not like this show because the true victims are not given light. sad sad and immature older daughter. she still thinks that it is a selfish choice which her father made..
@purpleloover Not everything is shown on this 1 hour long show. There is alot that we are not know about, that dr phil does. He has a reason for going about things that he does
if you can't see how the girls feel betrayed and abandonded then you are biased...you can't except them to know how to handle it correctly either...but the adult is the one who should be the captain steering the ship and helping...but kayla simply said "this is what i am, ifyou can't handle it, fuck you".
this is a very complicated situation. I don't know what is "right"...but I think it's crazy when ppl are posint comments like these daughters are supposed to know how to handle it.
seriously Dr. Phil, what is the proper way to tell them that he's transgender?
and his daughters are kind of selfish for hating people out of the normal race, he is selfish for thinking that his daughter can take it soo easily...
@Keeby12 you' re absolutely right. no one but me knows how much i've been made fun of because of my FATHER's actions. i have went through soooooo much torture at school, online, & over the phone. someone once called me from restricted tormenting me to the point i was crying, it was hell. so thank you for being one of the understanding people.
@carliecupcake Exactly. I only agree with Dr. Phil on one point: While it wasn't Kayla's choice to do this, he/she DID become a FATHER by CHOICE. I mean, didn't he realize what hell he put that little girl through? I'm very sorry you went through the same thing, it must've been really hard.
I can't tell you I know how you feel, but my best friend Jack (Now called Janet) changed gender, and, it's hard. It's very hard to go through, not to mention being put down for being around that person.
You don't choose to be a father until your kids grow up, you are a father for the rest of your life. You don't just suddenly decide to be a woman and ask to be called "mom". That's not how it works.
@TheInfamousBertman Please educate yourself on what a transgendered person is. They dont "suddenly decide" to change gender. As it is often described, "the brain is a different gender from the body."
I'm gonna oppose the majority of the comments here & don't care for any replies, because what most ppl are missing, is that fact that his 2 daughters have only ever known him as a MAN & as their DAD! That is a tremendous factor here. Ultimately, he did thee most selfish thing he cud've done, & that was birth them knowing all along that he'd always felt like he was a women. Now, they suffer the loss of a father. Their are feeling what is NATURAL! I just hope at some point they can rectify things.
It probably would've been easier on the kids if he/it stuck a gun in it's mouth a blowed it's brains out of the back of it's head. It would've for me.
How do they expect "her" to show emotion in a situation where showing emotion makes her vulnerable in a hostile environment? There's no support, or compassion for her. I don't blame her for appearing cold.
@andreaburnett I agree. She is using a defense mechanism because its clear Dr. Phil is incompetent about trans issues and doesn't care. I hate how Dr. Phil always has a basis. That is not how therapy works, Doctor!
I'm actually the most annoyed at Dr. Phil. He's "supposed" to get it or understand more than these people who are in a dire situation. Sometimes he can be so bias, not on this show alone, even some of the others.
@wnye Who is going to walk these girls down the aile. Dont judge these girls because you think they are overreacting. Put yourself in their positions. Im 28 years and my father is everything to me till today "you know why" bedause I am daddy's girl. He was mean to these girls. He is an asshole.
@wnye I would handle this show differently altogether. I think Dr. Phil show can be a very positive TV experience for viewer and guests if done with certain level of sensitivity to everyone. I don't like the accusatory nature of this discussion. I would have preferred that Dr. Phil would educate the audience about the transgendered condition before resorting to blame and such. It's a hard situation and nobody can be expected to have a normal reaction. There is no normal reaction to this.
@wnye Absolutely, he clearly demonizes this trans person when he should be congratulating her from coming on. I've watched Dr. Phil be more compassionate with men who beat their wife. EPIC FAIL, DR. PHIL!
@ArtifexVulpes Totally agree with you. I think the older daughter is just using this opportunity on the show to make her father look really bad. I mean, sure, their feelings are hurt, but she's old enough to understand and to think. She's just being a bitch.
the poor girls want their father back the way he was because that's who they grew up with! he set that tone. the girls say they had a beautiful relationship with their father, why wouldn't they miss him! the father just sprang it on them. letting them gradually see changes is a cop out! he should have sat them down and talked to them. and who cares about his gender issue's he choose to lie about it! he was born a man and he lived like one like he's supposed to he's needs to deal with it
Sex change is a big ordeal its is not something someone just decided to just do like walking into walmart or something. There is mental and emotional aspects. Most transsexuals are more likely to kill themselves. They suffer much to and to say they relinquish the right to feel good about themselves to feel like a normal person to them is bogus. Its so one sided.
What responsibility do he have!? He have already raise this two fucking bitch all grown up and now it's TIME to chose their own path and not here judging and humiliating her father is and demand for money from him!
It's the end of his responsibility for a father. It's time to decide for himself.
He have done his part to raise the two bitch.
See the expression of her wife? A face of a cunning homophobes..
@PirateKing1256 Agreed 100000000000000%. If only those bitches were taught acceptance instead of "lets take his money" and "sex changes are bad". People are different and he's still the same person regardless of how he looks, just possibly happier.
@CakeMace Pot kettle black, mate. You're being ignorant yourself. I did say that it would be confusing for a child who isn't taught acceptance and tolerance. That's why you teach them acceptance and tolerance and that it's what is on the inside that counts. Who would you rather have children, a bigoted idiot like you or someone intelligent like myself with an education and who teaches peace, love, acceptance and tolerance? Anyone with a heart and a brain would agree that I would be better ;)
It's not about "tolerance and acceptance", it's about the fact that you (and i repeat because evidently you're not listening) YOU MAKE CERTAIN SACRIFICES WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN (I'm not sure how i can make this any clearer). The right to have a sex change is one of those things you give up... Evidently you don't understand how damaging it can be to a child (taught tolerance and acceptance or not) for their father to suddenly become a mother...)
@meowsha You continuously call me bigoted... A rather myopic statement in itself due to the fact that you understand NOTHING about parenting and why i am saying the things i am saying, this proves you're either stupid, arrogant or have no idea what you're talking about.
@CakeMace You are bigoted though =/ How do I not understand anything about parenting? You have no idea what I do with my life. I'm not the stupid and arrogant one, I support equality and tolerance; you support bigoted religious rubbish. I hope you are sterilized because the world need not suffer from your spawn.
Bigot: Being a bigot; biased; strongly prejudiced; forming opinions without just cause
I don't fit the definition of a bigot because i have just cause to say what I'm saying. Look at the kids, they're obviously damaged by this, as any normal child would be. It is evident that you don't understand anything about parenting or you would understand the sacrifices of having and raising a child, the right to a sex change is one of those things.
Obviously, Dr. Phil doesn't know at all how to entertain this kind of situation. He doesn't get that there is no point turn back time. The man changed into a woman because he had to, even though he had children. He-She's trying to express him-her the best he-she can, but all Dr. Phil can do is to repremand him. he's definitly not the person to seek for serious help.
ok, i understand where mike is coming from because if anyone has taken n e psychology class, u would at least know that this does happen, n if someone is mentally one way, than its just not gonna change, thats just how it is. on the other hand, these girls, their father, thats all they know, they spent their whole lives with mike as a man, so, u have to look at it from both sides. the girls should be tolerant yes, but the father should've taken the time to explain this to his family
These girls are channeling their mothers anger and parroting their mothers words
And judging by the buzzwords they are going to church and if jesus christ is had unconditional love and forgiveness then why cannot they try it?
Dr Phil literally did an episode on gender identity disorder and is obviously talking crap down to this man
Would they rather him be a statistic like most closet homosexuals and transgenders and commit suicide? Selfish and Self Absorbed and Parroting their mothers PERIOD
wait.... Dr. Phil says that the "father" has no compation or understanding towards his daughters but he does´nt mention that "his" daughters have no compation or understanding towards "him"... why does´nt this work both ways?
Dr. Phil is a total moron. Why on Earth does he have his own show?? Ubelievable. Is he a real doctor of any kind?? Serious question. The only selfish ones are the daughters. Kayla is the one who has literally gone through hell. If you're born a girl, inside the body of a boy, you are born into no life. You will be socially introverted until you transition or die. I'm not surprised that Kayla's daughters do not understand. Continued
Their minds are incredibly immature. It's not Kayla's fault that her daughters have chosen not to be with their parent.
Oh, and how is Kayla being defensive? Are you serious? Why is transgenderism the most misundertood thing ever? He attacks only the person who has actually gone through any genuine pain. Those little girls are being stupid. They would choose to shut their parent out of their life, simply because they hate the idea of gender transitioning? Modern culture needs refining BADLY!!!!
For Kayla, it was either become a woman, or continue her life hating every part about her body. For some transsexuals, it's either change, and continue living, or death (suicide).
I'm sorry, but why is she confused and upset? Because she told her daughter that she was going to become a woman? If the oldest daughter would actually do some research about her 'father', ask 'him' questions why he chose to become female, then she will understand and will feel bad for her childish, hurtful behaviour. Kayla can't help being a woman. It's in her brain. It's like saying to any woman "how dare you be a woman?! Be something you're not, be a man!".
Generally I like Dr Phil, but sometimes he is such a douche bag playing for the audience...the 'dad' obviously feels attacked and he doesn't know how to handle it. Dr Phil shouldn't have been so in his face and he shouldnt have made the girls to look like hopeless and helpless victims...transgendered people aren't sensational and dramatic, they are people...they have their unique problems but they are still people.
Thank goodness there are some decent people in this world. Doctor Phil is a total jerk. I find it EXTREMELY difficult to believe he is a doctor ... is he an actual doctor?
Because Kayla's daughters are the only one's with problems. Kayla used to have a problem, for a long time, but now she solved that problem by becoming what she is, and always was, a female.
It's dr Phil who also doesnt undestand the situation. The girls only want the FATHER back the way he was before the trasformation. That's why he's defensive because it's impossible. It took him guts to do the transformation and there is no coming back. But Dr Phil is not very helpful for these girls to acknowledge and accept the NEW father in their lives.
@TheSunnyvicky you have to understand though that he raised them in the super masculine environment... and he chose to be a father and use his dick to make them. so he should be a father
@TheSunnyvicky But thats the point, they DONT have a new father. He doesnt want to be a father, but that is what theese girls say is what they need and miss! Dr.Phil tried to make him talk throughout the program, and i think that if he had tried to meet them somewhere in between and opened up (not nessicarily changing his sex back), he might have been able to help whatever the outcome would have been. Even if it was to get all the cards on the table and then leave with at least that acomplisment
Who doesn't care? Doctor Phil? If so, then I back you up on that one. But if you're refering to Kayla, who is actually female, then I would have to say I dislike you : (
this is fuking sad he has tried belonging he went through army thn a cop and those are tuff things to go thru so atleast he tried belonging as a man not like changing into a woman was his first idea and if it was jus proves he tried being a man as much as he cud
lol, exactly. the daughters should stop being spoiled. their father only existed as a delusion to them. their father never existed. behind this delusion was another mother.
Hm, you spelt "transformation" wrong. Shows how intelligent you are. No offense. I'm just saying that people need to be at least somewhat intelligent in order to properly understand transgenderism. The less inteligent you are, the less likely you are to understand transgenderism.
The guy obviously doesn't give a shit about anything but his obsession, That's fine with me, but he shouldn't have become a father. As far as I'm concerned, he'll never be a "woman" either, he'll always stay this guy who couldn't identify with his father and therefore had his penis removed in order not to have to be reminded of it any more.
Correction: she. The gender of a person is not defined by the body, but what's in the brain. Kayla is neurologically female, and always has been. Therefore she is no different to any other woman. She IS a woman. You can deny that all you want, but I assure you, I speak the truth. Pure truth.
He went about this situation all wrong. Doctor Phil was correct when he said he is still their father. He brought children into the world, he needs to take on that responsibility. I feel that this is why people really need to look at themselves before bringing kids into the world. I am very open minded. I have met and spent much time with people undergoing this transformation. I have no problem that he's felt this need to be a female, I just feel he shouldn't punish his children this way.
So, what should SHE do? Build a time machine and go back into the past to stop HERself from from having any children? The daughters are just going to have to accept that they really never had a father, only a mother. They need to go to a some sort of gender counsellor. This counsellor will not be a total ass hole, and a moron, like doctor Phil.
Dr. Phil is a total HACK. He clearly doesn't understand what it means to be transgendered, and nor do the children. They clearly just want her money, and don't care what it's been like for her to be stuck in a male body for so long.
I kinda agree. I mean - I can understand that the kids are in shock and in fact do need the money, but I don't understand how they imagine having a healthy relationship with their dad (say he decided to still live as a man) after being so repulsive towards him.
I can hardly imagine my dad being in a situation like that, but I would give my best to try to understand him. These girls hardly try at all. On the other hand, they're probably too young to understand. I wish the best for all of them.
No hun, obviously she is a she. "thats a he" -are you implying that transsexuals are 'things' or 'its'??? If so, then you should be deeply ashamed of yourself. You're not ashamed, and you probably never will be, but you SHOULD be.
I agree. They don't seem to understand that he's been a woman all this time, and it would be incredibly cruel to force him to go back to pretending to be happy.
Aside from this case (he went about it all wrong), So in ur opinion you would rather see someone be completely miserable for the rest of their lives then have an operation that makes them feel better .(transgenders, just like homosexual people are not suffering from mental illness you dumb wad, thats what people in the middle ages thought, with that comment u showed you hardly exceed the common knowledge of a peasant living in said middle ages.
@HaileyJane19 I think it's selfish how the oldest daughter is thinking, but it's selfish for this guy to not want to act like a father can't he just act like a guy around them and be a woman in his new life.
This 'guy' (who is female) would do that. But that sounds utterly impossible unfortunately. Kayla would do anything to get her daughters back. But lately I think she may have been contemplating "why do I want these monsters back??" to herself.
People like you make me disappointed with the human race.
You are right however when you say "You are who you are at birth". Kayla (the transsexual) was born female in the brain, but male in the body. But she was able to change her body via medical intervention. But you don't have to understand this EXTREMELY, HIGHLY misunderstood and misinterpreted issue. As long as you abide by social morals, and accept your fellow human being.
they seem just wana hurt their daddy/ mum's feeling... i can understand why she said "i'm a victom too"
they use this to blame on her as much as they want with people's support!! they didn't live together n mum/daddy dump their mother they wouldn't love him.. just wana hurt her and get her money!! if she give them lots of money they would b quiet...
Those daughters are mean-hearted and one-eyed. Life is full of change and at least your former dad is still alive and is becoming happy with herself.
Shame Dr Phil, for creating this stand off and shame on you too for not honoring this woman using the correct pronoun. You've just set us back 20 years!
You're right, it is unbelievably tough and excruciating for Kayla. But it has gotten a lot better for her : ) She's being what she is inside, a female.
I thought her poem was kinda dumb, but that's really rough. And he's so callous throughout the whole show. It's unbelievable. He did this in the wrong way at the wrong time.
Theres no right way to tell your children that you're not a man, that you're a woman. But the oldest daughter should be mature enough to do the adult thing. To try to understand what her 'father' is doing.
@1993Vanessa2009 I'm 20, and to be honest, if I EVER saw my dad come into my work place, dressed as a woman and telling me that he is no longer living as a man, I would just freak out because, first of all, I hardly see him, and I've been trying to reach him because he has a medical problem, and second of all, he's my only dad...and if he did that to me, I would disown him right then and there. To come out of the blue with this...I'm sorry, I just don't understand how that could happen.
@Soundninja18: You think this way because you're too young. If your father was actually a woman inside, and you disowned 'him' just fo that, you would never see your own parent again. You will lose each other. So I advise thinking before hating someone that you love so dearly. If you choose to hate your parent over that, you may never get a chance at a reunion. Don't worry, you still have much more intellectual maturing to go through, you're only 20.
@1993Vanessa2009 I say that because, like I said, I hardly ever get to see him, and I worry about him constantly because he has diabetes, and I don't know if he's alive or dead on some days. But, you know, if something like that was ever the case with my dad, I'd appreciate it if he at least got someone to get me to go and talk to him in private, rather than just come out of the blue with it.
You're right, Kayla really should not have 'come out' to her daughter like that, and she admits that, and regrets doing it that way, because she's lost her both her daughters in just that one wrong move. To some people, gender transition is really a touchy subject.
I think the mothers are putting words in these childrens mouths...Also the oldest daughter is doing the same thing with the youngest one. They should be ashamed of themselves....

@karatetresha Well they need to understand, this is his life and his choice. They want him to just conform to their wishes, even if it means he won't be happy with himself. Just so they won't have to face their issues of prejudice and victim mentalities. They just need to accept it and love him anyways. Who says they can't have a relationship, who says they can't have fun times, who says they can't be best friends, who says he can't be a moral example. They just won't have it unless HE IS A MAN.

I fully support Michael/Kayla in this, I think the daughters are being totally selfish and intolerant. Love is supposed to be unconditional. You're supposed to love someone, no matter who they are. Point is, if he wants to become a woman, he has the right. If that is his true happiness, he shouldn't have to sacrifice that, just so these kids won't have an issue.

Your a smartass, defensive, snotty, to all because of how much you want everyone to accept you as a woman now! That is a beautiful, sentimental poem Christina. If he doesn't see who and what is going to be changed, sitting stone faced, having nothing to say in response. Even not thinking of how much she is destroying Christinas dreams in looking forward to her wedding day. There critisisms on this is lagitimate. After he dropped the bomb so many times on so many things.

ritesh10012001 7 months ago
These are kids who have been told their father is dead, and that they have to accept a new person, who wants the respect due a parent, but hasn't done anything to earn that respect AS Kayla. Kayla could, possibly, have some sort of relationship if she wanted to work on it, and Kayla has to take the burden, and no one will have the same relationship...but Kayla just deflects everything. I think it's less about the gender and more about the identity of a parent or father just being erased.
patchworkz7 7 months ago
The father has done a horrible job at describing that it's Gender IDENTITY disorder. Her (the father) identity has completely changed. Dr Phil, whom I don't even like, had a good point 2 mins in. They've had no therapy, jointly, to deal with this. They should have had therapy together AS he was going through it. I don't put all the blame on Kayla, but at the same time, Kayla wants to still have some sort of relationship as a parent, but doesn't want to be the person they've known all their lives

I can't tell you I know how you feel, but my best friend Jack (Now called Janet) changed gender, and, it's hard. It's very hard to go through, not to mention being put down for being around that person.

I'm not surprised that Kayla's daughters do not understand. Continued

Their minds are incredibly immature. It's not Kayla's fault that her daughters have chosen not to be with their parent.
Oh, and how is Kayla being defensive? Are you serious? Why is transgenderism the most misundertood thing ever? He attacks only the person who has actually gone through any genuine pain. Those little girls are being stupid. They would choose to shut their parent out of their life, simply because they hate the idea of gender transitioning? Modern culture needs refining BADLY!!!!

The guy obviously doesn't give a shit about anything but his obsession, That's fine with me, but he shouldn't have become a father.

I feel that this is why people really need to look at themselves before bringing kids into the world. I am very open minded. I have met and spent much time with people undergoing this transformation. I have no problem that he's felt this need to be a female, I just feel he shouldn't punish his children this way.

You are right however when you say "You are who you are at birth". Kayla (the transsexual) was born female in the brain, but male in the body. But she was able to change her body via medical intervention. But you don't have to understand this EXTREMELY, HIGHLY misunderstood and misinterpreted issue. As long as you abide by social morals, and accept your fellow human being.

they use this to blame on her as much as they want with people's support!! they didn't live together n mum/daddy dump their mother they wouldn't love him.. just wana hurt her and get her money!! if she give them lots of money they would b quiet...

boo hoo you selfish little bitch..u need to get over it and accept that your father is gone

Those daughters are mean-hearted and one-eyed. Life is full of change and at least your former dad is still alive and is becoming happy with herself.
Shame Dr Phil, for creating this stand off and shame on you too for not honoring this woman using the correct pronoun. You've just set us back 20 years!

Yes, you're completely right. Dr. Phil is just worthless. Why does he have his own show???? Go figure.

I don't know about everyone else but...Dr. Phil and these kids are being bitches. I mean, I'm sure this is VERY tough on the dad.

You're right, it is unbelievably tough and excruciating for Kayla. But it has gotten a lot better for her : ) She's being what she is inside, a female.

I thought her poem was kinda dumb, but that's really rough. And he's so callous throughout the whole show. It's unbelievable. He did this in the wrong way at the wrong time.

Theres no right way to tell your children that you're not a man, that you're a woman. But the oldest daughter should be mature enough to do the adult thing. To try to understand what her 'father' is doing.

@1993Vanessa2009 I'm 20, and to be honest, if I EVER saw my dad come into my work place, dressed as a woman and telling me that he is no longer living as a man, I would just freak out because, first of all, I hardly see him, and I've been trying to reach him because he has a medical problem, and second of all, he's my only dad...and if he did that to me, I would disown him right then and there. To come out of the blue with this...I'm sorry, I just don't understand how that could happen.

@Soundninja18: You think this way because you're too young. If your father was actually a woman inside, and you disowned 'him' just fo that, you would never see your own parent again. You will lose each other. So I advise thinking before hating someone that you love so dearly. If you choose to hate your parent over that, you may never get a chance at a reunion. Don't worry, you still have much more intellectual maturing to go through, you're only 20.

@1993Vanessa2009 I say that because, like I said, I hardly ever get to see him, and I worry about him constantly because he has diabetes, and I don't know if he's alive or dead on some days. But, you know, if something like that was ever the case with my dad, I'd appreciate it if he at least got someone to get me to go and talk to him in private, rather than just come out of the blue with it.

@Soundninja18:
Only hate those who truly deserve to be hated.
Do not hate those who are merely just different.
You're right, Kayla really should not have 'come out' to her daughter like that, and she admits that, and regrets doing it that way, because she's lost her both her daughters in just that one wrong move. To some people, gender transition is really a touchy subject.
