After watching that it occurred to me that she had parents who demonstrated how to be good people, an example that Donald Trump has never modeled for his own offspring. Maybe he sensed that Katy was following that good example, and maybe that contributed to his very vocal disdain for her.
Well done, Katy, and same to your parents!

Transgender newscaster Zoey Tur reveals NBC correspondent daughter Katy stopped speaking to her after decision to have a sex change
Transgender newscaster Zoey Tur has revealed her NBC foreign correspondent daughter Katy stopped speaking to her for a period after she decided to transition. Tur, formerly known as Chopper Bob, became famous for filming a mob beating driver Reginald Denny during the LA Riots, and the O.J. Simpson car chase. 'My son was great, he told me, 'I support your decision and if this will make you happy then I'm on board,'' Tur told People.'But my daughter was shocked. She had a great deal of difficulty and we stopped talking for a long time.'
