...My bosses knew me as Mike and had no idea I was a transsexual.

'But almost as soon as I told them I was changing my name to Vikki-Marie and entering the transition stage of my gender reassignment things changed. I started getting hurtful comments and my shifts started being cancelled without warning.

'In the end I realised I could no longer go into work, it was too painful...

Men, men, men, men
Men, men, men,men...

It’s great to be on a ship with men and sail across the sea, oh,
We don’t know where we’ll land or when, but it’s great to be with men.

‘Cause men can sweat and men can stink and no one seems to care, oh,
We’ll throw the dishes in the sink and clog the drain with hair, oh!
(And clog the drain with hair, oh!)

Men, men, men,
We’re a ship all filled with men,
So batten down the ladies’ room, there’s no one here but men!

There’s men above and men below and men down in the galley,
There’s Butch and Spike and Buzz and Biff and one guy we call Sally!
(And one guy we call Sally!)

Men, men, men,
We’re a ship all filled with men,
You’ll never have to lift the seat, there’s no one here but men!

We’re men and friends until the end and none of us are sissies,
At night we sleep in seperate beds and blow each other kissies!
(And blow each other kissies!)

Men, men, men,
we’re a ship all filled with men,
So throw your rubbers overboard, there’s no one here but men!

Amen

I’ll have to tell my neighbor here in Spring Arbor Michigan that he can’t be a truck driver (now that he’s no longer a professor at a conservative Christian college).

After his surgery he will not be a woman. He will be a mutilated man.

claims bosses started cancelling his shifts when he dropped his old name, Mike, and started wearing women's clothes, earrings and make-up to work.

GASP! Y' don't say.

Why do we always have to explain simple things? *sigh*

OK.

1: It's freaky.

2: It creeps people out.

3: People have a right to go to the workplace without having their nose rubbed in someone's private sexuality. We have laws about that, no matter who does it to whom. A person making a blatant public display of their twistup is creating a hostile work environment for the majority of the people there. Would you expect a bestialist to bring his pet? A Necrophiliac to demonstrate his preferences for a Cold One in public?

Is issue is when someone elects to make it everyone's business, then everyone has a vote as to whether to accept it or not.

Just keep it outside of work!

What employer would want a transvestite/transexual to represent them in the workplace?

How long do you think Hillary would keep a campaign spokesperson who suddenly changed sexes?

How long would it take CBS to dump “Kevin” Couric?

I don’t think we do people any favors by treating their mental problems as normal.

Careful, you’re giving them ideas.

Not only does he expect to get paid for not going to work but he also expects the taxpayers of Great Britian to pay for the surgery itself.

He is currently undergoing counselling for his gender reassignment and is hoping to undergo a sex change operation on the Health Service.

He/she/it represents the UK to a tee. The country is emasculated and so is it. It should feel right at home now the UK has kicked a Man’s man out like Winston Churchill out of the history books.

One of my favorite “COPS” segments ever was the one from Albuquerque where the trucker was reporting a stolen wallet to the cops. Oh, and he just happened to be wearing a tiger-stripe leotard, fishnet tights...and makeup. That’s one where you’d kind of liked to have heard the story behind the story, you know?

But seriously, we shouldn’t be too hard on the British about this. Here in Southern California, one of the sportswriters at the LA Times went tranny. (No, it wasn’t T.J. Simers. It was Mike Penner. I’m not kidding. Believe me, I wish I were.)
