Mayor Stu Rasmussen of Silverton, Oregon made history as the first openly transgendered mayor in the U.S. Now he's being criticized for his choice of attire after wearing a short skirt to an event.
Alright ladies and gentlemen and the rest of you, I know trans folks have the hardest row to hoe as far as acceptance goes. It's easy to get befuddled around transgendered people, especially when it comes to pronouns. But come on. The whole we don't mind if you wear dresses as long as you don't wear THAT dress argument is transparent.
I'm sure Mayor Rasmussen knew from the start that people would react negatively. That doesn't excuse his critics' behavior.
