Her Name Was Steven premieres March 13 & March 14 at 8pm and 11pm ET & PT

Steven Stanton, former Largo, FL, city manager, appeared to have the perfect life: a loving wife and son, an influential job.  Stanton described it as "paradise."  That dream world – "Steven's World" - all changed when Stanton's plans to become a woman were revealed. Stanton tells a dramatic story of public and private struggle during this transition.  Interviews with Stanton's wife, teen-age son and co-workers, along with childhood diaries, personal journals, and family films, take viewers into the world of Steven as he transitions to Susan.

Always seem to hear about these docos/short films etc yet never get to see them. Maybe people could record and upload them for those that are non-american?

Oh boy... what is it about Susan that's different from any other transition story?  Lots of folk lose their jobs when they transition, but I suppose it usually don't happen to people making the kind of money that she did.  It is her class that makes her interesting to the media?
