B. Scott now
accepts the descriptor "transgender." Read on:
"Wikipedia defines Transgender as the state of one’s gender identity (self-identification as woman, man, neither or both) not matching one’s assigned sex (identification by others as male, female or intersex based on physical/genetic sex).
It is by that definition that I accept and welcome the ‘transgender’ label with open arms"
You have probably heard by now B. Scott is filing a multi million dollar lawsuit against BET and Viacom following the decision to force her to change to male clothes for the 2013 BET Awards Pre-Show. As she should!
In a further statement from her
site B. Scott wrote: my spirit truly lies somewhere in between. It is that same spirit that has allowed me to become so comfortable in my skin, choose how I express myself, and contributes to how I live my day-to-day life.
From my own selfish viewpoint, I'm glad she clarified where she stands. After I saw B. Scott on the
Chef Roble show, transgender was
not one of the labels I would have used.
