Shocked, simply shocked that we are in the 21st century

Christine Daniels - formerly Mike Penner - made her official debut as a woman during the David Beckham ridiculousness. Paul Oberjuerge *says Daniels is too much of a man to be thought of as a woman, and while he is glad that she is finally at ease in her own body that it will take guys like him some time to adjust. My message to Paul is that Daniels showed what she is made of by honestly, and publicly, coming out. And Paul...showed who he is.
btw, I love this description by the Times of Daniels:
"Christine shocked many readers on April 27, 2007, when she announced her decision to change gender."
- Trust me, outside of the Times making a huge deal out of the change, most readers don't know our names or our bylines (though I think blogs are changing that somewhat). But really the most shocked people were her colleagues and fellow scribes.
