Smile! You Are On Transgender Camera!
In an earlier Cyrsti's Condo post, I wrote of my recent public interactions and how we now have the potential to do more than ever to take the transgender person from a caricature to a living breathing human being. As she has a tendency to do, Liz and I had a discussion of the "phenomena" yesterday. Plus-as I have a tendency to do-I unloaded a hell if I do and a hell if I don't speech. Why aren't we coming any closer to transgender equal rights and more "grass roots" visibility? But, why are all these peeps bugging me about being a trans woman? Liz is nice to me and starts out mentioning my wonderful personality, engaging mind and (sometimes) my endless flirting. Most certainly all of that does sound wonderful and I am sure my humble self wishes it all was true - but it isn't. Similar to many of you, we are all part of the Caitlin Jenner back lash.
