Transsexual News

A transgender teen made history at Marina High School in Huntington Beach Friday night when she was named homecoming queen.
Cassidy Lynn Campbell was born Lance Campbell, but has been living as a woman for the past three years.
At first Campbell said running for homecoming queen was all about her.
"And then I realized it wasn’t for me anymore and I was doing this for so many people all around the county and the state and possibly the world and I am so proud to win this not just for me, but everyone out there," Campbell said.
The 16-year-old did face some negativity over her nomination from fellow students, but she and Principal Paul Morrow are proud of the way the majority voted.
"We're proud of the message from home of the Vikings has been one of equity, acceptance, tolerance and respect," Principal Morrow said.
Campbell says her next step is to become more active in the LBGT community and fight for equality.
Her message to other teens like herself, "Just to be true to themselves and to let people know around them and to not keep it bottled up inside."

C-O-N-G-R-AT-S, Cassidy!

I don't think so.
The headline reads:
'Painless death' or 'precipitous cliff'? Transsexual chooses euthanasia after failed operation
but the article is really about the increasing number of legal euthanasia cases in the Low Countries.

To me, singling out the one transsexual individual is an attempt at sensationalism to attract more attention to the article and might be considered a slap in the face to the entire LGBT community. You be the judge.

I spotted this article and did a little digging. Chloie Jonsson is the lady in question. Take at look at the following pictures. If you are like me, the CrossFit folks are not likely to come out of this looking so well.
