A Bicameral Legislator?

Former NY Congressman Chris Lee (R) 
at last year's dedication of the Statue of the 
Mazarin Hermaphrodite at the US Capitol building.

In the past two weeks, two D.C.-area transgender women contacted us, each with a separate story about exchanging emails with the ex-congressman. One sent us an ad that Lee allegedly posted on Craigslist in search of trans women; the other sent us a never-before-seen photo that she says Lee sent her after they started chatting by email. Taken together, they present a possible explanation to those who have wondered why such a tame "sex scandal" forced Lee's hand so quickly.
