Comment on How does the York Daily Record decide how to refer to a transgender person? by Ken Andrews

So if a student wishes to be considered gender neutral , you will then honor that wish and call them ” it” ?

If a student feels that they are part dog will you describe them to be a member of the canine family ?

If ” isaak” gets pregnant , would your follow up story say that HE is expecting ?

Can a person truly change from male to female or female to male ?

If a person declares that they are from another planet , are you going to call them an alien ?

Sierra is a female. SHE cannot change this no matter what she says , how SHE dresses , how SHE cuts her hair , regardless of any surgery she may elect to have CANNOT change HER from being born a female.

SHE is a SHE , not a he.

And the trans community thanks you for following those AP Stylebook guidelines. We see it as respecting us and the people in our community when you do.

Far too many newspapers and media outlets don’t, and it causes more contentious drama than necessary.

Hope you can keep the Mikey Eshbach story on page 1 A. The old PA dutch folk say “things come in threes” and in the past six weeks the York County fire services have already mourned the felonious death of Loganville Chief Miller, former Seven Valleys Chief Davey Bricker, and now Dover FF Eshbach

Eshach’s father is the Magesterial District Judge and former Springettsbury Twp Police Chief, his grandfather Rev.Warren is a retired Church of the Brethren Pastor.

Comment on Reporting from Boston: City recovers from terror, bombings and shoot outs by John W. Spadaccini

My emotions that were witnessed last Sunday (April 21st) were from the tragedy that took place in Boston during the week of Marathon Monday and being laid off three times since 2007. For the last two years, I have been unemployed/underemployed. I could not hold back my stress any longer.

In January, I brought Neighbors-helping-Neighbors USA (http://www.neighbors-helping-neighbors.com/) to Boston because I wanted to help the unemployed and underemployed stay focused and positive during time of transition. This Wednesday, Neighbors-helping-Neighbors USA will be presenting a plaque to Amy Ryan, President, Boston Public Library to pay respect to the victims of the Boston Marathon Bombing and their families.

During my time of transition, I am helping the less fortunate by volunteering and I am a Boston Tour Guide for Beantown Trolley (http://www.brushhilltours.com/) giving two hour historical tours of Boston.
