Theresa Sparks may make history in November.

The executive director of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission is running for a spot on the city's board of supervisors — and if elected, she will become the city's first transgender supervisor.

Today, Sparks, 61, is open about her background — but for many years, she had a secret life.

Sparks grew up a boy outside of Kansas City.

"It was kind of a Beaver Cleaver childhood," Sparks says. "I was always a good student, a Midwestern kid."

It is a very good article-tastefully done. She is a very good example for the general public to see and relate to.
