Susan McIntyre hails from Des Moines, Iowa. Until her recent dismissal, she worked as a housekeeper and part-time counselor for the St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Student Center at Drake University. Susan is a devout Catholic convert who holds the values of her faith close to her heart and worships on a regular basis. So why would the Bishop of Des Moines fire this Catholic woman?

The answer: Susan McIntyre was born Jim Ford. She is transgender.
