Reviews

shani_dayo I don't understand why this disgusting abomination was allowed to air on National Television. These Men are just sick minded individuals who have actually tricked themselves into thinking they are women, and "transformed" themselves, thus ruining their family and confusing their poor children. I will be completely honest here, because I say My opinions even if people don't like it, I am not a supporter of Being a Gay, or Transgeder. I believe by teaching people that this is acceptable, that We are doing a disservice to our youth coming up, because it is far from natural, and far from the word of God. I feel bad for these poor kids, having to deal with their perverted confused Father's foolishness like this, and on live television were anybody can see their business! I am a harsh critic, and this is by far the worst show that has ever been on T.V! Take it off now! For my sake, and the rest of the world!

hmfldnn Spoil alert!! Honestly Carly is super selfish and self centered... let your adolescent SON call you Dad. The fact that she feels as though it is not honoring who she is now discredits and diminishes who she was... BENS FATHER. Ben who is trying to just get through puberty and desperately needs his dad is asked to basically throw that out the window. The sister just cries every time she's on camera. I wish they stopped her storyline all together. its cheesy and weird. Ben's mom needs to go on a date and move on with her life because she clearly is still in love with her trans ex. I hope the Ben is setting aside money from this for his future therapy he will inevitably will need. They should just stop following Ben and follow Danielle his awesome ex girlfriend. Either way this show is pretty awful.

MacCarmel All shows have flaws. But I like this one, and here's why. Gender identity is having a much needed and well deserved moment in American culture and in Hollywood. It's past time for us to understand this issue and put our ignorant rants and biases behind us. This is a great show to help us get there.If you take away nothing else from this show, please understand this: 1) Gender identity and sexual orientation are two entirely separate things. 2) Talk. Listen. With an open mind an open heart. 3) Everyone's thoughts and feelings come from a place of honesty for them. Receive them as such and your conversation will continue and go deeper.Caitlyn Jenner has just emerged as a transgender woman. She is one end of the spectrum -- a huge name that will help immensely to propel understanding of what it means to be transgender. Becoming Us represents the other end of the spectrum which is real, average families that love each other and are trying hard to deal with something difficult outside of the world of celebrity.

beara530 Being transgender not only affects you but also the ones you love. People may have different feelings about it and the idea of this show is to discuss that. This could be a really informative, good show that teaches people. But it falls short.Ben is a highschool student whose parent is going through the process from Charlie to Carly. Ben's girlfriend Danielle also has a parent who has gone through the same changes to becoming female. Is this really a coincidence that these two teens are dating and both have parents going through big changes? Or did the producers kind of just set up Danielle and Ben because they knew these kids had a similarity? It is never told in the show how Danielle and Ben actually meet.....Later in an episode, one of Ben's friends comes out as transgender. What a coincidence, a third transgender person in this show! How common is that? I believe that all 3 of these people really are transgender. But I also believe the network/producers coaxed these people along together to form the story of the show. I doubt these people even knew each other before the idea of the show came along.
