Politician discloses transgender identity

A South Dakota politician announced Monday that he is transgender and plans to transition from male to female while in office. Rapid City Alderman Tom Murphy, 48, will live and dress as a woman for at least a year before undergoing gender reassignment surgery, said a report in the Rapid City Journal.

Murphy is believed to be the first openly transgender elected official in the United States, and the first politician to transition while holding public office.

"I'm a transgender. I've just accepted that," Murphy told the Journal. "All my life I've done a good job of hiding it."

Any bets on re-election?

If he hid that so well...what else will he/is he hide[ing] from his constituents? Ohhhhhh...those politicians think we don't know what they are up to!!!!

*SIDENOTE* It's not the cover...but the content! Least, to me it is! Some people still judge by looks and not by inner being.......

LixyChick,

You may call me a prude, but there are many occasions when I am glad to remain unaware of someone's inner being.
