She was a fool to do this and it is fair-and-square that she has attracted negative attention to herself. Hopefully she’ll know better for next time.

The only "she" in the story is the complainant. The mayor could be a "he" based on his chromosomes, or an "it" based on his amputations, but never a she.

If the mayor feels he's a '53 Ford do we have to pander to his/its whims ?

Jim, do you know any transgendered people? I do.

It would be quite wrong to describe them as “he” because, although that is what their plumbing originally said they were, they are in every other respect female.

(I do not know any transgendered people who are “male”-originally-female and I understand they are much less common)

I do not know anybody who feels that they are ‘53 Fords. I’d suspect they are even less common.

G-d, I hope not. I can't drive stick.
