Terrible use of the pronoun "he" throughout the article followed by even worse comments.

Have fun throwing gasoline on the fire in the comments if you wish.

Also the writer has her email address embedded in the article.

From some of my previous reading on the topic, I got the impression that the mayor him/herself still uses 'he'.  I could have misunderstood though.

I read that he's a cross-dresser, not transsexual, so yeah, "he" is probably appropriate.

He states he is trans gendered not transsexual.  He is in a small town here in Oregon.  And I hope they do the show in a positive light.  And the thing that is puzzling is why he had a BA.  One would think that that would be something desired by a TS.

Seems I might need to put a new dictionary on my shopping list.

I just have this feeling that this is going to put the trans movement back. I could be wrong. I hope I am.

you won't be wrong. they will do this with every intention of screwing us over, thats what they do best isn't it? zie would put on a pedestal to make a mockery of the rest of us that are actually women!!!! i just know this is going to be hell, and it will probably be the laughing stock of youtube once it's uploaded.
