Realistically with FFS it is not likely a post-op will look like that any more. They chose him, why? Can we get a more positive presentation? I am not saying a post-op can not or should not look like that but we are still pigeonholed and stereotyped as far as I am concerned.

....they're not yet at the place where they're laughing with us, but at us. When Lynn Conway or someone like her becomes the 'picture' of TS instead of Chaz Bono, we might see a change in attitude. Stereotyped is too sadly correct. Sigh!

Huh.

Still better looking than yours truly...

Remeber...

...that we're complaining about an industry that, largely, fails to portray >any< minority in very good light, and for some still avoids casting members of those minorities in much of anything except butt-of-the-joke comedic roles. Not that I'm disagreeing with people, just that it's really, really common to anyone who isn't in the "majority" demographic in the US.

As Michael Moore regularly points out, we've found the perfect way to be complete bigots: just claim that we aren't, and make as few token gestures as possible. Yay us?...
