How many "When will crossdressers be accepted?" threads have we seen in the forum over the years? Dozens? Scores? Hundreds? A lot for sure and I've been in the middle of many of them. I've complained about the pop culture role models that have CDs as 1) on the way to transition, 2) really a drag queen and gay, 3) a serial killer, or 4) just comic relief. Occasionally a good one will come along but they fade into the mix before too long.
I've also made suggestions for others to follow while I watch more and more Pride festivals and Coming out days pass without much change in the situation. So I decided that I should do something, anything that would help change the landscape just a little. The only real tools I have are words and imagination so I put fingers to the keyboard and wrote a play. A short, one act play that attempts to address some of the common experiences and perceptions that color our world. The idea is to also make something that is accessible to those not already part of our corner of the subculture.
This post isn't to toot my horn but to draw attention to the play for a couple of reasons. First is to get more criticism so it can be improved to tell the story better. Second is to make enough people aware so that the next time the local Pride center is looking for something to do for our part of the community during Pride Week, there is an option that just may fit their plans. The play is posted in the Writers Forum and I welcome anyone who loves it or hates it or can see ways to improve it to leave comments. It's called "Coming to Terms with Sarah" and, if you are wondering, it's not totally biographical.
