As it was, well, it just was and it just is and now he is a she.

WOW! Interesting. That is what I thought - it becomes an issue is others make it an issue. If you don't make it issue then it isn't. . .

I live in the same county as the city manager. Despite the protests of people that don't live in Largo (there's a huge public meeting where folks that don't live in Largo get to speak) at the end of the day he/she is NOT going to have a job.

I believe that folks have a right to live their life as they see it, I also enjoy the right to live my life as I see fit as do the folks that live in that city. The folks that live in that city don't want him/her as their city manager. He/She is a contract employee, an at will worker, they don't need a reason to fire him and he isn't covered by the city's newly enacted policy that covers folks that are transgendered.

There's been alot of people that didn't like him and a lot of folks that did. Now the folks that don't like him are going to get their wish and he's going to lose his job. Again, the folks that LIVE AND VOTE in that city will ultimately decide if he keeps his job, and he won't. And as the laws don't currently protect against transgendered folks even if he sues, he's not getting his job back.


Hi choo-choo!
