Does this article use the proper pronouns, that is the pronoun(s) prefered by the subject of this article? I figured this should be sorted out before the article gets much longer. 3Juno3 ( talk) 12:17, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
I looked at the sources, and while the headline and first paragraphs say he's transgender, Rasmussen himself is quoted saying he identifies as a heterosexual male, he just likes looking like a female (has even had breast implants). That does not fit the definition of transgender, and it is a violation of BLP to identify someone as LGBT without self-identification. -- AvatarMN ( talk) 07:16, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
How is he not Trans yet he has breast implants and dresses like a woman and even identifies as being Transgendered? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.251.253 ( talk) 10:14, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
I thought that the above confusion showed that the article could use some clarification. So I added a sentence specifying the nature of his gender-variance. 123.2.119.159 ( talk) 22:50, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
Stu will be speaking at an organization to which I belong this summer, so if I don't see him in Silverton, as I often do, I'll ask him for a pic then. Katr67 ( talk) 17:32, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
According to this article [1], Stu Rasmussen uses a male pronoun to describe himself and prefers to be referred to as 'him'. We should respect that choice, rather than determining his gender identity for him. I will change the pronouns in this article from 'she' to 'he' accordingly.

Susan Stanton came out of the closet the year before in 2007. Stanton was the mayor of Largo, FL. Rasmussen is the first openly transgender person elected, however, and to serve a full term, as Stanton was fired soon after (but not immediately) Chegitz ( talk) 15:33, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
