Mayor of New Hope comes out as transgender

NEW HOPE, Texas - The appointed mayor of a small town in Collin County announced in an open letter to her citizens that she is transgender.

Jess Herbst is the mayor of New Hope, Texas. It’s a town of 600 people east of McKinney. Mayor Herbst posted a letter on the town’s website explaining her transition from Jeff to Jess and her decision to live her life as a female.

“I do hope that it helps people understand that we are just normal people like everyone else,” she said.

Herbst has served as city alderman since 2003 and was just appointed as mayor last May. She's now coming out as transgender, something she says she's known about her whole life. But until recently, most residents knew her as Jeff.

“For the last six months, the only time I've ever dressed as a man was at city council meetings,” she explained.

Herbst was appointed mayor in May because the previous mayor died and finally decided she wanted to tell the town what she says she's known most of her life.

Growing up as a young boy in Texas, she always knew she was transgender and started telling family members about eight years ago as more information on the transgender community came out.

“When I would go to school and I would see here's the girls, here's what they're doing, here's how they're dressing, here's how they're acting, I wanted to be in that group,” Herbst said. “But I wasn't allowed to be.”

The video of this mentally ill man hasn't been posted on the foxnews website and I wouldn't blame them if they didn't put it on at all. This man, dressed as a woman, looks like a man and talks like a man. The journalist kept referring to him as "she" and "her."

As I watched the video, I couldn't help but think that the inmates are truly running the asylum.

Maybe it’s more of a surprise in New Hope, Texas than it would be in New Hope, Pennsylvania.

These mentally ill freaks need to re-read the bible (or at a minimum just READ IT) It says the MEEK shall inherit the earth, not the FREAKS!

The pictures of this man all dolled up in troweled on makeup and a blond wig don’t look anything like him the video. In the video he looks like a big honking man ready for a Halloween party. You would never mistake him for a woman.

“I'm a heterosexual, but I don't go running around telling everybody I'm a heterosexual or what I do with my wife,” said resident Steve Tittle. “It's just your personal business, so keep it personal.”

what is this crap of her, and she?

For crying out loud calling them what they want to be is only helping their mental disorder.

Don't know here New Hope is...and I don't know a lot about Texas.But it seems that if it's near Austin,Dallas or Houston this guy just might be able to keep his job.Otherwise,his announcement is very probably part of a plan to sue for discrimination.

New Hope?

“Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.”

“He told me enough! He told me you killed him!”

“No, Luke. I was your father. Now, I’m your mother.”

Jeff, who now calls himself Jess, wore man clothes for years, is married to a woman, and has a married child. Active in town politics as Himself, he was appointed as mayor last year as Himself, and in January this year decided to tell all.

He was cautioned not to change his name legally before the coming election cycle - if he was going to run in women’s clothes.

So there you have it. A guy was appointed mayor and then his sex confusion derangement took over and he’s now a drag queen who takes female hormones to give himself breasts.

How empowering.
