A very peripheral mention of a transgender person appears in an article about, of all things, a mouse found in a Coors beer can. In this case, the transgender person is listed as “Kaiema Harvey, a transsexual who won $1 million in a New York lottery in 1981.”

“Transsexual Robbin C. Holm’s request for parole has been continued two months,” leads this article. While normally a person in prison for a simple felony bad check charge would be no news at all, this article almost lavishes attention over the fact that she has breast implants but has not had bottom surgery. Good grief.
