From the St. Petersburt Times: Stanton ready to go national; He will discuss his case on Larry King Live on Thursday. Excerpt:

Steve Stanton is poised to join a national campaign to make America more aware of the plight of transgender people.

Fired as Largo’s city manager a month after he acknowledged he planned to become a woman named Susan, Stanton is writing a book and plans to lobby Congress.

Thursday night, he’s slated to appear with his attorney on Larry King Live. And next week, the Daily Show with Jon Stewart is scheduled to broadcast its take on his case.

Stanton will announce whether he’ll sue his former employer on Larry King, said his lawyer, Karen Doering, senior counsel for the National Center for Lesbian Rights.

She wouldn’t say what Stanton will do, but did say Stanton has a “winnable” case.

“When the city terminated him they engaged in illegal discrimination,” she said.

Largo officials expect a lawsuit.
