At work, for the last few weeks, at least one day of the week, someone will bring up Amanda Simpson. I work in a small office that in the US Army civil service falls underneath her.
Here is her wikipedia page -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_Simpson
It started when my supervisor posted an org chart that had the names and pics of the lead people in charge and the name of their orgs all the way down to our parent org. She's at the top. One of my coworkers decided to go around and point it out that she started out as a he and was being quite dickish about it. The next few weeks go by and I hear about her at least once a week and everyone is speculating and have no clue. Today it happened again. They were talking about Mrs Simpson again, and still hadn't figured out to do homework on it and were speculating. Six of my coworkers including my boss were outside my office doing it. I spammed the whole office with the following message:

It seems there is confusion as to the nature of the person known as Amanda Simpson who is in our chain of command and basically the boss of our boss of our boss etc...

I've heard about her now at least once during the work week every week for the past five weeks.
First, come on peoples. Can't you do your own research instead of gossiping?
Second, I'm not out that I'm transsexual so this was imo was a risk for me.
Third, my boss just came and asked me to explain what transgender meant, and I hope I didn't f**k up with telling. I managed to not stutter or stumble through my words, but I'm not the best at verbal communication.
Fun stuff.
