This is very worth reading...
She's not my cup of tea as a comedienne but her thoughts on transition are fascinating and will strike a chord with many of us.

Thank you for the link
I'v never seen or heard of Julia Scotti before but she seems to have a good comedy rather than geek mind. The interview sounds promising. There are several bits on You Tube

Public trans
So, what makes their opinions more relevant then those of lesser known transwomen?
Good points made
She made some good points. I won't elaborate, except to say that I agree with her on LBGT and love. She's right on there.

To the Guest Reader
It's not so much that her points are more valuable than others... it's more that every Public Voice we can get advances our fight for recognition and the rights we're supposed to have as human beings. Every time a public figure is interviewed and gets read, public awareness grows more aware that we are not all Jerry Springer candidates, but human beings "endowed by our creater with certain inalienable rights."
You must agree that the average person's views or comments don't get the kind of attention that an entertainer or "famous" person's does. We need all the Public Personalities we can get so our needs, wants and hopes can be read by those who view us as perverts and sexual deviants.
Thanks for your comment.

There are limits to that
Public trans folks may or may not tip the conversation in our favor.
Sadly, it is the unified reputation of all of us, as a group, that ultimately matters. The most 'public' of gender divergent presentation also happens to be DQs and there is still a confused mix of perception that we are like them in many quarters. That is changing but the non-public transwoman is still will be what reinforces the public perception of who we are ultimately. Sadly I don't think there is a 'we' per se any more then there is a typical example of any minority.
I am a member of such a minority, at least in the US, being Chinese who has gained a reputation as a 'model minority'. I maybe non-public but I am by no means 'stealth' but I pull my weight helping to uplift the reputation of who we are by just being who I am.
A public transwoman has no committee to 'certify' their message and thus can be a risk as well of a potential benefit. They are like self-appointed ambassadors without credentials other then they happen to have one POV of being trans.
I would like to feel we will eventually pass the point where such 'thought leaders' are not necessary.
While I agree with your last sentence,
You have to admit that loud "public voices" have swung things in the past for other "minorities" We can but hope, as you said.
Thanks for your reply.
