OKLAHOMA CITY -- One of the state's most controversial lawmakers is drawing an equally controversial opponent. Representative Sally Kern will face a transgendered attorney in her next race for the state House.

That's awesome.  You can't make up stuff like that.  I can't wait to hear the diatribe if Kern gets beat.

That's awesome. I'm looking forward to this race.  As a ex-man now woman who loves men . . . is she gay?  If not, does that make Sally as mad as if she were?  Frankly, I think the odds of Sally ignoring the giant purple elephant in her homophobal world are slim to none.

- She is in favor of high speed rail to Tulsa.

- Wants education to be a real priority for Oklahoma (as opposed to kip service). Including MERIT PAY for teachers.

- Presumably she isn't a God-fearing homophobe who will make absurd statements embarrassing our State.

I say it's an improvement.

I'd love nothing more than for Kern to get steamrolled in this election, but I hope there is another candidate, b/c all this candidate will do is rally the Kerniacs in her district to vote.

As Paul Harvey would say.. "Now, the rest of the story"

ex-man now still a man?

Sorry, but with all do respect to a persons individual choices this is begging for the following:

Quagmire: "Hey there little lady. Why don't you turn around and show me your Lower East Side."
Woman (man voice) : "Sure."
Quagmire: "Whoa, transvestite, back off! Wait a minute...pre-op or post-op?"
Woman: "Pre-op."
Quagmire: "Whoa, transvestite, back off!"

On a more serious note, I would have to agree with that ruling.  If the, umm, changes are not permanent you can not change the ID.  It makes it a tough situation for the person but from a legal perspective he is just dressing like a she at this point (not passing judgment on the issue).   Do you think being pre-op is better or worse, in terms of her political career in Oklahoma?

/doesn't change my opinion of the matter

I can't give any serious opinions for this one.  Glad I'm not in this district.

It would not open the link it kept trying to open a Quick Time player.  So he is not a she yet or she is still a he? Semi- sort of?

Sally Kern is an amazing woman. I love her courage to stand up for what is right. We need more people like her!

She applied to have her gender on her DL changed to "female" in 2006 but she had not actually had the surgery yet so was denied. She has not reapplied so one can assume she still hasn't had the surgery. So at this point it's a "Man who wants to be a woman" not a "Man who became a woman"

Some of the discovery channel stuff I've seen talks about how much biologically goes into what is a man or a woman other than the obvious accessories and a decent percentage of people who end up somewhere in between. Jamie Lee Curtis is supposedly one of them for example.

To me, don't say you are now a woman unless you get the surgery to change it.

[Townsend]

Sally Kern is a troubled and small minded woman. I fear her need to stand up for what is mentally retarded. We need more people like her to keep quiet and accept others!

Sorry RA, I just had to correct it a bit more.

[waterboy]

Hey, Boo Boo, its not courageous to be a conservative, right winger in Oklahoma. Or to be in the oil business, or to rebuke gays, or to be against liberals, immigrants, Obama  and health care reform.

It looks like we'll retain our ability to make the rest of the country snicker.

Does that mean you think homosexuals are the single biggest threat?

They don't even make my top 100 list.  They wouldn't even be considered.  Frankly, I'm not sure how homosexuals count as a threat or as a negative.

Thinking of the stereotyped homosexual; they hold a professional job, have disposable income, good taste, well maintained houses and a kind disposition. Why wouldn't I want more in my community?  Of course, like all others the stereotype doesn't always hold true - but it is based on some reality and certainly Sally's objections to homosexuals are even MORE based on stereotypes.  Honestly, what negatives do homosexuals bring to a community?

Does that also mean you think a theocracy is a good idea?

It's true, she stands up for what she thinks is right.  But so did Hitler (I couldn't resist).

They're going to invade!
