The cases aren't related, but the issues are: a Florida city manager fighting to keep his job while undergoing a sex change, and a dean at a Christian university in Michigan, fired after a legal name change from John to Julie.

In Largo, Florida, late Tuesday, the City Commission voted to begin the process of firing the city's top official - less than a week after he announced plans to pursue a sex change operation.

City officials have received hundreds of e-mails about Stanton's announcement, most calling for his removal.

Commissioner Gay Gentry praised Stanton, but supported his firing.
