Randolph – You can call this Stephanie Edwards? first town meeting, even though she has been attending the sessions for more than two decades.

Under a different name and gender.

??What better place to come out for the first time in the general public than at town meeting??? Edwards said.

The decision to appear in her female persona at town meeting wasn?t difficult. Edwards, 53, has been attending events and going to social occasions as a woman for more than a decade.

??I go to the bank and the supermarket. Why should town meeting be any different? I dress (as a woman) as much as I can when I can. This is the other half of my identity,?? she said.
