America's Next Top Model

So, the girls and me have been watching America's Next Top Model. The season premiere just happened to come on when I was doing home work with the girls and I just left it on. There has been a girl on there that is really a man. I don't know what the proper term is whether it's transvestite(I don't know if that's spelled right) or something else. When they were explaining that she was really a man I was watching for Ashley's reaction. I wasn't sure if she was really going to catch on to what they were saying. She looked at me though and asked "So, she's really a boy?" with a confused look on her face. I said yes and tried to explain that there are some people out there that are not happy with being a boy or a girl, and will sometimes dress up as the opposite. I didn't get into the whole surgery aspect of it, I didn't think that would be age appropriate. I was somewhat lost though as to how much I should say. So, next weeks episode came on and Ashley said "Yeah, I want to see when the He She gets kicked off." I have no idea where she got that term from. I didn't say it. I don't know if she came up with it on her own, or if she heard it somewhere else. I thought it was interesting that she would use that term. We've been watching it every week, and every week I wonder if I should really be letting the girls watch this. Not just because of that. I wonder if they could develop self-esteem issues from it. I don't know if I'm over thinking it. They ask though every week now is the model show on? So, we just continue to watch it. I don't know why they like it, but they do.
