both Maury and Montel want in on the transgender scene.
WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THAT?


this moring at 9am on MAURY POVICH, this show aired

"I Was Born A Woman...Today I'm A Man!"
Jill and her sister Beth shared the perfect childhood together, but Beth always knew she was meant to be a boy. Beth grew up and decided that she wanted to be a he. Beth took hormones and had her breasts removed. Beth changed her name to Lando and is now living her life as a man. Jill told Maury that she had a hard time accepting Lando at first, but came around. Lando, who looks like he was born male, every found a girlfriend who he introduced on the show...Kimberly was married to a man for 11 years, but always wanted to be a man. She got a divorce and became a man, now known as Kimrey. Kimrey told Maury he's happy with his new life. He also had a new girlfriend, Jeanie, who told Maury that Kimrey was perfect even though he doesn't have a penis...Dan, born Trevelle, also hated being a woman. In fact, he referred to his past gender as his "dead twin." Dan married a woman, Mya, who accepted him, but he had to tell his 70-year-old father. Maury made the reunion happen after the show and his father also accepted him.


and this afternoon at 4, Montel aired:

Juan: Born as an identical twin girl named Juanita, who always felt that she was meant to be a boy and is now going through the transgender process.
Liana: Juan's identical twin sister who supports her brother's decision.

They may have been born identical...but today we'll meet some twins who say there has always been something inherently different about each other. Liana says that since the age of 3, she can remember her twin sister, Juanita saying that she wished she were a boy. As Juanita grew up, she never got over her desire to be a man. She hid her feelings for as long as she could from her family because of their strict religious upbringing. However the stress and depression locked inside of her, eventually led her to attempt suicide. Juanita felt she was trapped inside the wrong body and as time wore on, the feeling grew stronger.
