This is weirdness personified,having read the back story, I can't believe that this man didnt have an improper relationship with the suspect when she was a male child...seriously, who lives with someone becomes part of the family, then marries their "niece" oh who by the way used to be their little "nephew" years later...hmmmm

I'm amazed all the water wasn't displaced out of the pool when Orson Welles (Mrs, apparently) entered. ON second thought I'm amazed the water didn't jump out on its own as soon as it caught sight of her.

The old guy sounded like a pushover who was just looking for companionship. And he/she didn't even attend the funeral for God's sake!! What did this tell the jury? 4 years is WAY TOO SHORT OF A TIME for this weirdo!! Flirting at the bar with all the fellas...GROSSSSSS!!!

[Gaelic Sookie]

I could not pass this one up. Good LORD!

You guys going out, make sure you check the goods out first, there are many of transgenders in the area, go to Belk's in Williamsburg. Makes me nervous, in a silly way, the adam's apple is still there, the hands are large but, darned if "she" isn't good at her job though and nice.

Four years? FOUR? Seriously?

[Emelye Waldherr]

Only four years for killing someone? This is ludicrous. There must have been some sort of mitigating factors or something like that. Heck, some people get more time for killing trans people, and that's saying a lot!

What this person did was deplorable and ought to feel her sorrow and shame every day for those four years and beyond for what she did. The fact that she was trans had little or nothing to do with it though. Cissexual people (cis is opposite of trans) do way worse things to their wives and husbands, unfortunately. There's bad apples in every barrel.

Wtf is this?

People who are so mentally messed-up that they need to get a sex-change operation should be kept under close guard for their entire lives, simply because they are that messed-up, by definition. It's not their fault that they're that messed-up, but when they are discovered to be, it behooves us to keep them supervised, and maybe they shouldn't have every freedom that the rest of us have, because of their weirdo instability.

Between looking at your picture and reading what appears to be a defense of transsexuals (by way of an indictment of "cissexuals"), I have to ask: are YOU a transsexual??

What does that matter? If I am or not makes no difference here. I didn't indict anyone, I just posted a reminder that cisgender people do the same or worse than this woman did. Her gender identity had nothing to do with this crime.

You are obviously ignorant of the facts about gender identity conditions and their treatment. Trans people who transition from one sex to the other are actually certified as sane by a psychological therapist before hormone treatment is approved. A second psychologist is then required to reevaluate and agree with the first one. At least one of the two are required to have a doctoral degree. If someone shows up saying they want to change their body to match their mind and the therapist figures out they are really schizophrenic or have some other psychosis or neurosis, they are not allowed to proceed. Here's a link to the Standards of Care that describe this process in detail: http://wiki.susans.org/index.php/Standards_of...

Being a transgender person is not the same as being crazy. It used to be thought of that way and medical science has come to learn otherwise. Once again, what this person did to her husband is deplorable and her gender identity had NOTHING to do with it.

That's not nice.

Why does the article continuously refer to 'it' or 'him' as a 'her'.

Because it is the politically correct wording now-
I speak to my friend at the cosmetic dept, who is transgender in the effeminate sense.
Hey it is their lives, who am I to judge another? I still have my opinions, and they stay within my soul.

You mean there is yet another group of sickos running around? Cissexuals now? What a clown show with all these f'ed up people!

Anyone ever see the movie "Normal" starring Tom Wilkinson and Jessics Lange? WHAT A GREAT MOVIE!!!! It's about a husband and father who, on his 25th wedding anniversary, comes clean to his wife and pastor that he has always believed he was a woman living inside his male body. I love Tom Wilkinson..what an actor!

But truly a fantastic movie for everyone.
