Episode #6
In February 2007 Susan Ashley Stanton attracted national attention after she was fired as City Manager for the City of Largo Florida when the City learned of her plans to begin her transgender transition by living as a woman. Her story has appeared in every major newspaper and magazines including Newsweek and People and she has been featured on National Public Radio, The Daily Show, Larry King Live, In-Side Edition, Paula Zahn Now and The Situation Room. She is currently working with CNN Presents on a year long documentary of her gender transition. Since being thrust onto the international stage Susan has been recognized for her courage, dignity and positive attitude in her efforts to educate and inform people of the unlawful discrimination transgender people face in employment. Susan Stanton joins Richard Friend and Judy Seidenstein on this episode of Diversity Matters to discuss the unique challenges of transgender transition as a high ranking public official.
