I worked for the Largo Library when I was going through high school. Stanton was alright, but if you crossed him he could ruin your day. I always thought that he had issues, but nothing to this extent. I guess that all that I can hope for is that he is OK.

Your thoughts and comments please! My apologies if this has already been posted.

Stanton, 48, said he eventually will change his name to Susan, the name his late mother would have given him if he had been a girl.

Life ain't easy for a boy named Sue.

I know nothing about the guy.

But I get the sense that this is all his private business.

I wish him and his family well.

Hopefully it will work out well for him/her. When I hear about totally dysfunctional people wanting sex-change operations, I'm pretty quick to assume they just need to get their heads screwed on tighter and quit blaming their problems on stuff like being in "the wrong body". But when someone who has a history of holding down good jobs and staying out of trouble says they feel they really need a sex-change operation, I'm inclined to take their word for it.

The interplay between chromosomes, hormones, brain development, and genital/gonad development is very complicated and no serious medical researcher claims to understand it all. I'm sure things really are out of whack in some people who appear physically normal, but the dysfunctional ones need to get their acts together first, because the surgery doesn't fix dysfunctionality -- just halfway fixes the sense of gender misfit. A dysfunctional man who gets a sex change operation will just be a dysfunctional woman, and if you're dysfunctional it really doesn't matter what sex you are. And in many cases, I think fixing the dysfunctionality will cause the urge for a sex change to go away.

There is no such thing as sex change. It is an illusion.

Sounds like he's crossing himself...

I can't imagine trying to be a city manager while getting hormone shots. I wouldn't put anyone with serious issues like this in charge of anything concerning me.
