Port Ewen’s Gary Suraci To Become A Woman, Change Name To ‘Genna’

(CBS) Port Ewen, N.Y. Parents and school officials in Ulster County are addressing a bizarre situation after a Port Ewen principal announced he will undergo a sex change operation.

Ulster Boces School & Technical Center principal Gary Suraci, 52, has created quite the buzz since going forth with his decision to become a woman, informing school officials just six weeks ago. Officials say he’s changed his first name to “Genna.”

Some don’t seem to be able to come to grips with the news.

“Why would you want to change what God made you?” one Port Ewen resident asked.

Still, others say Suraci should be able to live the life he wants to life. “If that’s what he wants to do, that’s his opinion and I’m all for it,” another resident said.
