Councilwoman?

Michelle Bruce is a city councilwoman for the town of Riverdale Georgia, a town on the southern perimeter of Atlanta. First elected to the post for Riverdale's Ward 2, in 2003. She has been asset for the community by installing changes which have saved over a million dollars during her 4 year tenure. These changes placing limits on unused benefits for city workers and setting limits on the use of city vehicles.

One failed proposal was to add sexual identity to the town's non-discrimination policies. Within that failure is the second hint, the first was the picture, Michelle Bruce used to be Michael Bruce. Michelle is Georgia’s first openly transgender elected.

Some of Bruce's political opponents have taken exception to the councilwoman running as a female. Two losing candidates, George Fuller and Stanley Harris filed a lawsuit last week in Clayton County Superior Court against the incumbent City, accusing her of fraud for identifying as female.

Bruce doesn't like it one bit....

They’re trying to make my gender an issue, saying stuff about me being a guy. That’s the only thing they can make an issue of, gender and race because they can’t make an issue of my work for the past four years for my constituents.

• There is little doubt that Michelle Bruce's orientation was not common knowledge to the voters. Just look, she could kick my ass. If the voters picked her and they were unaware of who they were voting for then they were not responsible voter citizens. The complainants should be ashamed for attacking this person, wasting law enforcement and court resources. She was voted in, let her be.
• The thought of a man cutting his pecker off and growing breasts is pretty revolting. Breasts are great, but not on that.
• Since when did south Atlanta become a suburb of San Francisco?
