Commissioner Wants To Fire City Manager Seeking Sex Change
Commissioner Wants To Fire City Manager Seeking Sex Change
The city manager of Largo says he will undergo a sex-change operation.

LARGO, Fla. -- A city commissioner is looking for support to fire Largo's city manager, who announced last week that he is planning to have a sex change.

Commissioner Mary Black sponsored a resolution Monday calling for the termination of Steve Stanton's contract.

Commissioners will consider the resolution during a special meeting Tuesday night.

If the resolution is approved, Stanton would be put on paid administrative leave during his removal from office.

The 14-year city manager told city leaders and the media last week that he is undergoing counseling and hormone replacement therapy in preparation for a sex-change operation.

1. Mr. Stanton should go to Cuba
He can get a sex change for free, and they'd probably make her a spokeswoman.

2. hmm
strange the miami cubans who support "freedom" oppose letting this person keep her job I am sure, meanwhile Cuba is recognizing same sex unions and covering sex changes under universal healthcare..

3. What's her problem??
It is really none of her concern.

Stanton has received support from the city's mayor and other top officials.

6. Unless the job qualifications for City Manager includes "Must Pee Standing-Up," they have no grounds

7. City Managers are always underfire from Council, mayors, and the like
Not being an elected official and still having a high profile position can get on some folks nerves.

Regretfully, they can come under fire for personal lifestyle choices like an elected official regardless of a spotless work record.

Kinda pathetic really.

8. well, that's just unfair...
Me, I'm rather skeptical of the whole "sex-change" concept, but I also think it's just wrong to fire someone for choosing to go that route. This guy's genital status would not seem to have any bearing on his job performance.

Very cruel and gratuitous, what the commissioner is trying to do to him. :thumbsdown:
