not your average sportswriter story

[rone]

Via truehoop: Mike Penner, a sportswriter for the LA Times, comes out as a transsexual (registration required).

I broke the news to Tim by beginning, "Are you familiar with the movie 'Transamerica'?"  Tim nodded.  "Well, welcome to my life," I said.

Tim seemed more perplexed than most as I nervously launched into my story.

Finally, he had to explain, "I thought you said 'Trainspotting.'  I thought you were going to tell me you're a heroin addict."

Someone who manages to mix up Transamerica with Trainspotting? What kind of game is he playing at??
