A Los Angeles sportswriter who stunned readers with the announcement that he was a transsexual - and then later abandoned his sex change plans - has committed suicide.
Los Angeles Times veteran Mike Penner, 52, was found dead at his home, the paper reported Saturday.
In 2007, Penner made headlines around the world by announcing in a column for the paper that he planned to live life as a woman named Christine Daniels.
"Today I leave for a few weeks' vacation, and when I return, I will come back in yet another incarnation. As Christine," he wrote.

Penner, who was taking female hormones but never had sex change surgery, didn't publicly explain his decision.female hormones are nothing to mess around with.

For those who make all these changes to their identity.......be it with dozens of plastic surgeries (a la Michael Jackson) or this sports writer with a sex change operation......their “freedom” to try to be what they are not only brings dispair, not fulfillment.

"Today I leave for a few weeks' vacation, and when I return, I will come back in yet another incarnation. As Christine," he wrote.They must have forgotten to tell him about PMS.

He was a fairly unattractive female. Plus , the weight gain didnt help much. That might have been part of the problem.

"He was a fairly unattractive female. Plus , the weight gain didnt help much. That might have been part of the problem." The liberals will be claiming the he/she committed suicide because conservatives didn't accept him/her, and caused him/her to be depressed. Frankly, I believe it was the very perversions that he/she practiced that drove him/her over the edge. Nobody can really live happily as a sexual deviate, in fact homos and other sexual deviates have the highest rate of suicide of any other group. There is a price to pay for playing with the nature God gave to us.

“female hormones are nothing to mess around with.”
Especially when they’ve got a 9 iron; just ask Tiger Woods.

Whatever was bothering him about himself before the shots was bothering him afterwards. All that damage to his body, for nothing.
It was, in a way, very childish to jump over the pond that way, like all you were doing was getting a hair cut. Sad, sad and sad.

-He was a fairly unattractive female.-
He STILL didn’t look as bad as Chastity Bono.
