Microsoft GM To Transition

michaelwallent.jpg
There’s a transition happening over at Microsoft! The computer company’s general manager Michael Wallent will undergo surgery to become Megan Wallent, his long hidden and distinctly feminine self.

Says Valleywag:

He came out to colleagues as transgender last month, first in person and then by email. Wallent says he encountered nothing but support — mixed, of course, with some awkward curiosity.

That curiosity stems, of course, from the computer nerds’ realization that they’ll finally get some new masturbatory material.

From the photo, it is obvious she is already a woman! Some may wonder: after the surgery will she be a fish? The answer is no. She will still be a woman and a sister. We knew a trans-sexuala who used to be a priest in Mexico. She was like a mother to us. After her surgery she still hated fish and her hunger for hot young stuff was nearly insatiable! Alas, she perspired 6 years ago at the age of 74 from a heart attack.

Six years ago she had a heart attack that made her sweat? Wow, great story.

On another note, good for her! This is the third high-profile transitioning story I have heard in the last year (that sports writer in LA and one of the Coen Brothers being the other two) and they have all been greeted with support and respect. I wish her all the best and hope that these stories are reaching closeted trans youth.

Ash, WHAT?!?!?!? I hadn’t heard about the Coen brother. Are you sure? I know Christine Daniels, but this Coen thing is new to me. Is it Joel or Ethan? Wow.

I’m almost positive it was on Queerty that I read about one of the Coen brothers, and I don’t know which one but there was a picture and she looked gorgeous. I’m going to look for it again.

Ok, I’m an idiot. Not the Coen brothers, the Washowski Brothers, who made the Matrix. Much less interesting/talented brothers, but still a good story nonetheless.

The Coen brother was a hoax.

Coen/Washowski – whatever. Still a hoax.

Ash, check these links. It sounds to me more like Larry Wachowski got in pretty deep into some kink. I’m not sure what the most recent news is, but it sounds to me as though he is more fetishist than transsexual. Or maybe Silver is trying to spin this to avoid a fundie boycott at “Speed Racer”.

We hunger for hot young Pakastani sizemeat, yet it seems unavailable.
Discuss!

Hmm. I heard ze was keeping it under wraps until after Speed Racer because it’s rated PG. But who knows. Maybe it is just a kink. At any rate, good for hir.
