This post began in response to a comment I received from an acquaintance in the Netherlands. Angela referenced a recent blog of mine about transsexual woman Susan Stanton, exploring her sudden rise to the national media's center stage in 2007.

Saturday evening CNN premiers the biographical documentary "Her Name Was Steven."

Angela voiced concern about the overnight celebrity of ex-Largo city manager, the former Steven Stanton, propelled to national prominence after being outed as transsexual by the St. Petersburg Times in 2007.
