A gender-flipping producer from ABC News now has a pink slip to go with her pink slip.
The story dates back to May 2013, when Don Ennis showed up at work wearing a little black dress and a wig and told co-workers to call him Dawn.
At the time, Ennis, a father of three, said he had an “unusual hormone imbalance” and was more comfortable living as a woman.
He also changed his Facebook picture, replacing the one of himself as male to female, and tried to address any confusion he may have caused among friends and family. http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1832329.1402980493%21/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_970/cross17n-2-web.jpg
Soon after becoming Dawn, Ennis and his wife of 17 years separated — but three months later, Dawn showed up at work as Don again. He claimed that he had suffered from amnesia and accused his wife of dressing him in a wig and creating a fake ID card with the name “Dawn” on it.
“I am now totally, completely, unabashedly male in my mind, despite my physical attributes,” he said in an email to his colleagues at that time.
The Danbury, Conn., journalist explained that while his memories of the last 14 years had returned, his female identity did not.
Then Ennis returned to work as Dawn in May — and was fired shortly afterward.
