The documentary debuted tonight at 8PM ET and repeats at 11 PM. How many of you watched and what did you think of it?

Autumn will have a review up later. More information on the documentary:

    The  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.

Overall I enjoyed it.  Yes there were a couple of places that I disagreed with but it was her story, not mine.

Part two is suppose to be on tomorrow.  I will be looking forward to it also.
