"She has declined to say if she had surgery to change her gender.".....? Maybe she was born transgendered already?

EW!

May he is a “she-man”. A woman from the wasit up and a male from the waist down? If you announce this issue then you owe it to folks to tell them the whole story.

All is not lost. Now she can become a pastor in the United Methodist Church. At least in the Baltimore-Washington Conference.

Never fails to amaze me the people who want to inhabit a public office who then cry about their obvious piccadilos being exposed to the public.

I honestly wouldn’t have a problem with a transgender person if they were open and honest about it.

However if you end up with a “discovery” process that involves them acting in a duplicitous nature? What are you really left to assume? What else are they hiding?

If you’re gay, I don’t care. If you like to dress as a woman, I don’t care. Be honest about it and if your skills and abilities measure up I have no issues.

Thing that bothers me is that these freaks want me to pay for their confused perversion with my tax funds.

Have it lopped off and sewn up like a catchers mit and have me pay for it?

Why doesn't it ever occur to the person who loses an election that the reason might be simply that the citizens no longer want this person to represent them period.

She has declined to say if she had surgery to change her gender.

You know, just a pet peeve of mine but when and why did we just accept the use of the word 'gender' when the proper english word is sex? From winkapedia:

The usage of gender in the context of grammatical distinctions is a specific and technical usage. However, in English, the word became attested more widely in the context of grammar, than in making sexual distinctions.

This was noted in OED1, prompting Henry Watson Fowler to recommend this usage as the primary and preferable meaning of gender in English. "Gender ... is a grammatical term only. To talk of persons ... of the masculine or feminine g[ender], meaning of the male or female sex, is either a jocularity (permissible or not according to context) or a blunder."[5]

It seems to have just crept into the usage as of late and is just one of those things that bothers me whenever I see it. I guess I should just get used to it, but... oh, well.
