More sickness infecting the country and I'm not talking about swine flu.

“A person attending the speech was displeased and filed a complaint.”

this is how you can tell you live in a liberal city...not that the pervert shows up that way; nobody throws him out...

[Bushwacker777]

IN Portland he/she would have been given an award for promoting diversity.

UGGHHHBLAAAACCHHHH!!!

Sorry. Had to throw up after seeing this she-male’s pic. Guys, if you can’t pull off the look, DON’T BOTHER!!!

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Well. Maybe it is time for the good people to start thinking of whips, stocks, pillories, tar, feathers and a rail. Why do we have to put up with their pathology? Let them put up with us. Degenerates!

His Wiki bio:

Stu Rasmussen (born 1948) is an American politician from the state of Oregon. He was reported to be the nation's first openly transgender mayor when he was elected as the mayor of Silverton, Oregon in November 2008.[1][2] He had previously been elected twice in the 1990s as mayor of this Willamette Valley community, before coming out as transgender.[3] He was also three times a member of the city council.[4]

Rasmussen, a self-described fiscal conservative and social liberal,[4][2] served as city councilor until January 2009.[5]

Idiots in Silverton elected this he/she.

So when it exposes itself to their kids? They want to blame who?

Careful Andrea, your protest will soon be treated as a “hate crime.”

Girl, don’t you know that Miniskirts should never be worn after 35.

"This is a man who's dressing like a woman. He was born a man. He has male DNA. That cannot change," she believes.

She "believes," mind you. There is no truth. There is only "belief," which really means "preference." And since her "preference" is exclusionary, it's clearly hate-speech.

It all stems from the rejection of absolutes. "There are no absolutes!" they whine. My I suggest, if you're having trouble getting your head around "absolutes," you aim your car -- the car you believe you are driving -- at a solid highway overpass pillar? Just to see, mind you, if it's "absolute" or not. Get that speedometer cranked up when you do, dipshit.

You might even help save the planet it the process.

Mayor Stu Rasmussen admitted to wearing an open-back bathing suit, mini skirt, and high heels when he spoke before a group of children at a non-profit organization.

All in the name of giving the kids an eye opening education.

[DieHard the Hunter]

She is transgendered, I don’t see a problem with that. It happens to some people in life, and when it does it’s unpleasant for everybody until they get themselves sorted. It is probably better for everybody concerned that she acts in the gender role she believes is appropriate.

It becomes troublesome when transgendered people *don’t* do this.

Lo-back top, mini-skirt, hi-heels: that would probably have been inappropriate for any she-male or female to wear in front of kids. She was a fool to do this and it is fair-and-square that she has attracted negative attention to herself. Hopefully she’ll know better for next time.

[TXBlair]

I saw this story on the local Denver news while vacationing in Beeber Creek, CO last week. The way it was presented was that the townsfolk were concerned that the mayor's attire was too skimpy. Skirt was too short, I believe.

Soooo....
Male mayor in skirt = good
Male mayor in short skirt = bad

Hello, is anyone home???

Andrea Lafferty is with the Traditional Values Coalition. "This is a man who's dressing like a woman. He was born a man. He has male DNA. That cannot change," she believes.

She "believes"?! So now genetics is just a matter of personal opinion?

[DogBarkTree]

GAAAAAAKKKK!!!!

[skeptoid]

What's the big deal??

The lovely Mayor Rasmussen from his website.

See this page for some video of the leggy Stu in his trademark skirt and heels!

[Lorianne]

I don’t agree with the censuring. People should be able to wear whatever they want. This is a slippery slope to telling people what they can and cannot wear.

I agree his appearance would probably be offensive to me and I wouldn’t want my children around it, but it is my responsibility to keep myself or my children away from such scenes ... or not.

This event was not mandatory for children to attend. Parents who are upset should address their concerns to the non-profit organization who invited the mayor to speak in front of children.

Boycotting is a better statement of disaproval.

PING

[armymarinemom]

This wore an open back swimsuit, mimi skirt, and heels to speak to kids? Parents should sue for trauma counseling.
