FULL TITLE: 'I could be fired because I'm transgender': Female theology professor risks job at Christian college and marriage after revealing male identity
A theology professor at a Christian college is set to be replaced in his role after coming out as transgender.
For 15 years Heath Adam Ackley taught at Azusa Pacific University in California under the name Dr Heather Ann Clements, but recently he broke the news to students - and his husband - that he had been hiding his gender identity.
The 47-year-old told Religion News Service that the institution agreed to pay him for the rest of the academic year, however, because his revelation could present a 'distraction', it's preferred that other professors take over his classes.

'I did not get a sense directly from the individuals with whom I was speaking that they had a theological problem with transgender identity,' Mr Ackley said.

Agree. She has decided since it is no longer considered a mental illness, she will be honest. It is still a personality disorder as are all ‘gender confusion’ problems. The American Psychologic/Psychiatric community has done these very confused people no favors. The rest of the world knows there is something wrong with any confusion over gender. You are born either a male or a female, unless you actually have a genetic disorder such as a hermaphrodite. Every cell in this woman's body screams FEMALE.

We need not give national time to people with a mental illness IMO.
If they have a disconnect between the parts they were born with and their head, then they were born with a problem, not something to cheer for.

She was a good looking woman, as a man she looks like a fag.
The whole story can be wrapped up easily. When you tell your employer that you are sexually insane, and want a home made Johnson, they probably will not want you around any longer.

Yep. It’s just that the English language I learned as a boy isn’t much help in reading this kind of news article.
Usually the PC misuse of “he” and “she” is pretty obvious, but this one fooled me until I read some of the later comments.

Why the NEED to NOW say ‘hey look at me look at me’??? Seems to me if you want to go through gender reassignment you would then shut up about it. We do not have a need to know and you certainly have no need to tell

The headline at the site now says “...after revealing NEW male identity” so they must have gotten some WTF feedback.

Every cell in this woman's body screams FEMALE. Except her brain cells, which need treatment. Unfortunately, in many jurisdictions she not only can't get it, but a practitioner can actually lose board certification if he so much as offers to help her.
It's bad enough that the nutbags are running the asylums; they're also running the government, the universities, ...

They don’t chop off the penis. It’s used to create a’vagina’.

Well if "IT" Wasn't out there trying to promote "IT's" agenda and shove "it's"
BS into everyone's faces, maybe "it" might not be fired. Mental disorder.

Hehe ... thankfully, no, but (s)he looked a lot like the “guy” (?) minus the glasses. That was 7th grade — a long time ago — and nobody knew about cross-dressing, transgenders or any of that other perverted stuff (other than this one weird kid who would always dress up in a blue chiffon gown for halloween) ;-)
