She won't start living as Susan until the end of this month. She could have lobbied as Steven Stanton, but she said she wanted to be authentic.
"I want to go as who I am," Stanton said. "It would almost be insulting to the legislators to go as someone else and expect them to be honest with you if you can't be honest with them."
