Dr. Oz Tackles Transgender Children
By Advocate.com Editors
The Dr. Oz Show Thursday will air “one of the best 15-minute segments
on transgender children to ever appear on national television,” the
Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation announced on its blog
Tuesday.
Dr. Mehmet Oz, who rose to fame as a regular medical correspondent on
Oprah, talked with two transgender teens and their families about
their experiences growing up and their parents’ decision to support
them.
Representatives from GLAAD and Trans Youth Family Allies attended the
taping. Click here

Just watched the segment. Dr. Oz did a great job, presenting his guests and their families’. I admire
how brave the young people are and how supportive the family members are. They addressed the issue of life and accepting transgender rather then denying and promoting depression and possibly later, suicide. I did not know this segment was going to be on if it were not for your website. Thanks for the
update.
