My Aunt, Uncle, and I were watching a program called "JAIL". One of the impending inmates was a crossdresser. In the 5 minutes he was on, the audience finds out that this person was 6 foot 3, but was 6 foot 5 in his stolen high heels. Not only that, but he was wearing a stolen Vidal Sassoon jacket, too.
That's two strikes.
Then you find out he was arrested for stripping in public (On a bus full of kids and adults). This not only makes all crossdressers look like perverts, but it puts us in a negative light in the eyes of the public.
America isn't seeing Jennifer, the 5 foot 7 crossdresser who enjoys being feminine, while having a clean criminal record and is a stand-up person in general.
No. That would be too much to ask of Hollywood.
Instead, America sees ________, the outlandish, overly-effeminate, couldn't blend in to a crowd if they had assistance from a cuisinart food processor, Kleptomaniac Perverted Crossdresser that enjoys public acts of lewd and lascivious behavior!
Is it so much to ask that we be portrayed in an honest light?
Is it too much to ask that a crossdresser not be shown on television ONLY when it's in an unflattering light?
And, to top things off, My uncle made a comment about crossdressing being one of the most perverted things ever conceived, so there goes my chance of ever telling him about my femme side. AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
