Dude Looks Like a Lady
A city manager from Largo is going from he to she. Tommy, The St. Petersburg Times and now The Tampa Tribune are on it.
Steve (soon to be: Susan) Stanton wants the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of designer shoes.
Part of the process involves living as a woman for a year. This means wearing dresses or skirts, complaining about hypertension, and using the women's restroom at work. Lipstick is optional.
I can imagine what his/her colleagues are talking about today. The mayor supports his valued employee, but I'm sure more than a few co-workers (including the creep that forwarded his emails to The Times) will cackle about "feeling uncomfortable" with the whole thing.
Get over it. Dude's been faking it for 47 years and ought to be able to live without harassment from closed-minded city workers.
I do think it's a shame that Stanton didn't get this worked out before bringing children into the world.
Stanton has a 13 year-old son. Puberty is hard enough without dealing with dad in a skirt. The Trib reports father and son haven't discussed it yet. Really? (S)he has undergone extensive psychological testing, hormone therapy and painful electrolysis for years. Perhaps there were not enough commercial breaks where a quick family meeting could have been penciled in?
I'm all for equal rights. However, when parents put their own needs ahead of their kids, trouble usually follows.

Why do I keep having a theme song enter my head...??
"a boy named sue"
i just cant help it, the song keeps creeping into my head.
:)
...says his wife is having a hard time dealing with his decision to change. Hello, wife????
........he and son haven't spoken yet. Double hello!!! I think just MAYBE someone has told the poor kid
at the lunch table at school today. Maybe sooner-on the bus to school.
Sequence of events all wrong- Wouldn't one think that telling son and letting him have time to take a breath after choking before going public would have been a nice gesture?
Oh well, "every mind is a world",
After stating that, I think that he will make a better looking female.
A couple walks into their lawyer's office seeking a divorce after 65 years of marriage. "Why now, after all these years?" "We had to wait until the children were dead."
One wonders if there would ever be a good time to tell a son/daughter of your gender reassignment but it doesn't take a PhD in Psychology to think waiting until adulthood would be the way to go.
Guess I need to put Transamerica to the top of my Netflix queue. (Still working my way through last year's Oscar nominees.)

How ironic...Mrs. Robinson needs to follow her own advice. Missing school to get her breasts enlarged, spending countless hours on this site instead of taking care of HER kids...I may be a "lowly Superior High School parent" of a senior and a sophomore, but Mrs. Robinson is a disgrace to her profession. Colorado can take her...the sooner the better!
mom, personal attacks are not productive on blogs. I know some people on the left use it viciously, but conservatives using it makes us look bad. We should not stoop to personal attacks.
Now, on the facts. There is a slight difference to a father changing SEXES, so the kids have 2 mothers, one with a frequin adams apple, than a mom spending some time on the internet. Everyone spends time on the internet, and for that matter, you are a mom who just spent time on the internet. its normal.
Breast enlargement is a personal choice, and has NO bearing on one's ability to perform their job. That and spending time on the internet does not make one a bad parent, or a disgrace to her profession.
The quality of parenting is usually shown solely in the behavior of their kids, for kids who are rowdy show parents who cant or refuse to control them thru harsh punishment or discipline. Kids who are controlled by their parents, and disciplined when they really get out of control, are always better behaved in everyday life.
Mom,
That's not the procedure I'm getting done. Nice try, though. We all have our hobbies. I write. You listen to your thighs expand.
Ooops.
But can he wear heels?
Whatever you do, you do for attention. I guess I am falling into the trap of giving you the attention you so despeartely crave. I am so glad my son is graduating, and that YOU are leaving so my other child will not have to deal with the likes of you. This has nothing to do with liberal and conservative. This has to do with class and no class. You have no class whatsoever, unless you think that being a slut and using foul language makes you classy. (No, the astericks don't make it any better.)
Mom, are you vying for a nomination? Your last comment serves no purpose in the discussion and certainly lacks this "class" of which you speak. Pot...kettle...you know the rest.
Mom - geez, what venom! Someone is BITTER!!!
Mom - geez, what venom! Someone is BITTER!!!
And Rich, ever the voice of reason!
Mom--
“Unless you think that being a slut and using foul language makes you classy,” is simply laying it on the line. (Slut: “A vulgar promiscuous woman who flouts propriety;” An untidy, dirty woman; a woman adulterer) You are right, mom, anyone who would dare express themselves in any way other than that which mom would approve is a slut.
Let me tell you mom, I was at a meeting today with the slut and you would not believe what that dirty adulterer was wearing. I do not need to go in to it here except to say, hootchie-momma, if you know what I mean; I mean untidy flesh everywhere. You ought to hear the mouth on this woman—holy mother of Mary! Mom, she flaunts it, shamelessly brandishes her goodies.
Don’t worry too much though, the kids are instructed to look away when she struts through the hall; however, for us adults, va-va-voom!
P.S. Kate, what did you think of the meeting? I thought it went well today. I think we covered most of the parents’ academic concerns. I really appreciated their strong words of support and encouragement for us as a team. I believe that the accommodations we discussed will be very helpful. I particularly found our discussion of auditory modalities very useful. I think the visual modality used in concert with a structured set of auditory material will be most effective for reaching the higher Bloom’s levels of synthesis and evaluation. Great meeting, hope you enjoy your weekend.
Sorry I'm late to this discussion- I was out eating infant hearts at my local satanic dungeon.
Mom-you are the most unimpressive excuse for a human being I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. Your lack of intelligence is appalling and I hope your kids have the strength and wherewithal to break the cycle of stupidity that you and your lineage have created.
If you don't like my wife's blog, stop reading it.
Better—
You must try the pickled infant’s feet. They are to die for.
