The familiar voice coming over the radios of tens of thousands of Boston area drivers on the way to work Wednesday was the same. But the name had changed.

WBZ-AM traffic reporter Scott Eck signed off as Kristen Eck for the first time, another step in a decades-long struggle with her gender identity. […]

… (A)lthough Eck, 45, was aware of the heightened public interest, her decision to live as a woman was deeply personal. She said she knew at age 5 she was supposed to be a girl. …

LOL! Another loon comes out of the closet.

Looks like a creepy man wearing a dress. How many years of “higher education” does it take to become a “traffic reporter” anyway?

“National news! Headlines! He (or, as many will say, she) is now famous!”

Sounds like it’s the IN THING of the day. Good grief.

Dear Abby,

Since traveling to South Africa in 2004. I have felt as if I was a giraffe. Granted, a male giraffe but now I feel as though I am a woman trapped in the body of a male giraffe. That is a female giraffe, not really a woman.
What am I to do?
Please answer quickly, the neighbors are upset at my eating the leaves from their trees.
Hugs,
Ginger

WBZ...I remember them in the 60’s as Top 40.Haven't listened since.

  National news! Headlines! He (or, as many will say, she) is now famous!

   "The way I look at it, Kristen Eck is doing the same great job as Scott Eck was before, and that's the end of the story," said Peter Casey, WBZ's director of news and programming. - that's just bizarre!

  "This is Scott, our traffic reporter. He wears a dress now." - that would be an accurate summary of the situation.

Now people are proud to say they are mentally ill. This country has been given up.

[ConservativeStatement]

What the eck is going on with these people?

[Olog-hai]

It’s worse than merely “mentally ill”.

[SoFloFreeper]

That’s a man, baby.

[Ken H]

It’s a very common delusion. Most people who think they’re giraffes are actually okapis. You’ll be fine.

[PTBAA]

Good career move in this insane society. Now they can’t fire him.

[Trillian]

More like coming out as a man in a dress.

[BatGuano]

Oh thank you so much....but my shoulders are ten feet from the ground, should I not be a shorter animal? (:>))

[Parmy]

At age 5 I knew I was supposed to be rich. Still hasn’t happened. And, I can’t even come out to identify with the rich.

If he/she is 90 feet talk and doesn’t pee, then she can apply to be one of the 72 virgins being discussed on another thread.

[JohnnyP]

No Midol, either.

[caww]

[Dr.Deth]

Well now I've seen everything

[cynwoody]

Where’d they go?

You got farked.

In any case, those deserve a magnified presentation.
