The timing of a showing in Largo of a film about transgender women is no fluke.

After the house lights came up Wednesday night, a woman at the back of the theater raised her hand and said it's ironic that we're seeing this film in Largo.

Well, yes and no.

True, Almost Myself is an award-winning documentary that looks at the journeys of 10 transgender women who were born male.

And true, it was screened less than two weeks after the Largo City Commission fired City Manager Steve Stanton, who recently disclosed that he plans to have gender reassignment surgery and become a woman named Susan.
