Shock: ABC Newsman Becomes 'Newswoman'

A top journalist for ABC News no longer considers himself a newsman, but rather, a newswoman.

Don Ennis of ABC News now wants to be called Dawn Ennis

Don Ennis, who works for the network at its New York City office, is going public with a new female identity of Dawn Ennis.

“Today I begin anew,” Ennis writes on his Facebook page, where a brand-new, “feminine” profile picture is displayed.

“Please understand: 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.”

The New York Post reported Ennis walked into his Manhattan office last Friday in a “little black dress” and a brunette bobbed wig to tell colleagues he wants to be known as Dawn.

Ennis, 49, of Danbury, Conn., is a father of three children, and he says he’s splitting from his wife of 17 years in order to become a woman.

Ennis claims he suffers from an “unusual hormonal imbalance,” and blames his mother, who allegedly fed him female hormones as a child to prolong a commercial acting career. He says while those hormones made the little boy look and sound young, he eventually developed female-style breasts.

The balding editor says doctors can’t explain or remedy the condition, and he has been undergoing hormone-replacement therapy to maintain “mysteriously a more female than male body.”

“I have a rare medical condition – nothing deadly or infectious – but it has resulted in an unusual hormonal imbalance, ” Ennis said. “One so profound that I don’t resemble the man you first met 10 years ago.”
