OUT of common decency, resign!
That's the call from an Isle of Man transsexual after MHK John Houghton sparked outcry in the House of Keys this week with comments condemned by his colleagues as 'bigoted' and 'abhorrent'.

His protests that new laws to protect the rights of transsexual people would 'defy common decency' shocked one Island resident who was born a woman but has undergone constant hormone therapy and protracted and painful surgery in his transition into a man.
