BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) – Tatiana Pineros is a man by birth and a woman by choice.

Tatiana Pineros is the first transgender individual to be appointed to head Bogota's social welfare agency.

Pineros, 34, is also a high-powered public servant who manages a $360 million budget and nearly 2,000 employees in Colombia's biggest and most powerful municipal government.

Her appointment by Bogota's new mayor to head the capital's social welfare agency was remarkable for how unremarkably it was received by Colombia's predominantly Roman Catholic public.

GAY.  TRANSGENDER.   
Thanks to good old USA Today all US transgenders can look forward to more hate coming their way from all the rednecks and bigots from this stereotyping.
