Sissy Goodwin calls his cross-dressing lifestyle 'gender independence' After nearly seven decades in Wyoming, for much of that time facing heartbreak, discrimination and even physical violence, the cross-dresser has finally decided to leave the Cowboy State.

Sissy Goodwin, who was profiled in the Los Angeles Times in 2013 for his insistence, despite an often-macho Western ethic, to lead the life he chooses -- as a man who prefers to dress in women's clothing -- is retiring in May from his job as a college science instructor in Casper.

Sounds like a sensible move. Cowboys wouldn’t take mighty kindly to the sexually confused.

to lead the life he choose

It's a choice, not genetic.

[SES1066]

Can’t help but wonder if that song, “A Boy Named Sue”, would have the same reception these days?

[boycott]

It’s a choice, not genetic.

Yep. I just don’t believe in a genetic calling for a man to want to wear a dress and pantyhose.

He and his wife, Vickie, are moving to the Portland, Ore., area, where they plan to buy a small farm and raise goats and chickens.

Those goats and chickens better sleep with one eye open.

This thread is just fine without pictures.

We are born naked. Clothing is dictated by culture and fashion norms and trends.

The sad underlying reality of homosexuality and queer normalization is that we must forget, ignore, and set aside the real traumas these persons --- once truly innocent --- suffered on the path to becoming LGBTETC.

where he was born Larry Goodwin in 1947, raised by an alcoholic mother and abusive stepfather.

Didn’t I read he was there for 7 decades??

Reminds me of the homo activist fruit out in California that got his name legally changed to Sissy Gayfag. Ending up dying from AIDS (surprise). Think there was a thread here on FR about that freakshow many moons ago.

I wonder if he's going to clothe the cow.

"A nude horse is a rude horse" - SINA slogan

[Steelfish]

LOL!

[RightGeek]

This thread needs pictures!

[ExpatGator]

Well, Sissy, don’t let the door hit ya’ where the good Lord didn’t split ya’!

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Remember the protestors outside the WHITE HOUSE in 1962 with “MR PRESIDENT, PLEASE CLOTHE YOUR HORSE!” signs?

[bicyclerepair]

Why should we christians give a rats ass what he wears?

[VaRepublican]

jees........really?

Granted, the guy is a freak and obviously an eccentric. Every community has them. But I'm surprised at how some Freepers are lashing out at him.

He's not hurting anybody. From what I gather (correct me if I'm wrong), he's not on any kind of government dole. He's not looking for special privileges or demanding that society builds him special bathrooms or some other such nonsense. Doesn't seem to be "in your face" about it and doesn't appear to be looking for a sex change and evidently his wife and family have accepted him for this very odd and peculiar style of dress.

So why all the hostility? Sure, we can laugh at him. He's obviously a freak and yes, he looks utterly ridiculous. But otherwise, let him be. Anybody who is out to hurt or harass him, well those aren't very good conservatives - or people - as far as I'm concerned.

In fact, he's already got a few lacy things in mind for feeding the animals.

Doesn't sound like a healthy diet for the animals...
