I have been seeing alot of shows over the last 6 months that are showing TG's, CD's playing parts in them.
The latest , Ugly Betty , although she was played by a real woman, then there is now All My Children , todays episode showed a room with severl TG's haveing a support meeting.
an altho it was part of the cript, one of the girls said :
(not quite the way it was said, but how I heard it)
we hide our selves for our love for those around us instead of letting those around us love us for who we really are.
I think it says alot.

Anyhow I think our time will come sooner than later, the cat is being let out of the bag , now not to say that it will be 100% or even 80% eccepted
but if it starts becomeing the norm to be seen on TV more an more of us will step out,

most of us, from what I have read have SO's an would love for them to beable to accept us for who we are.
now what I am seeing is that the TV industry is targeting womens show,
so if women start seeing that we are out there an that just cause we dress up like women doesnt make us freaks an that we can still love an have feelings, maybe those that would have other wise walked away from a relationship with a CD might actually take the time to get to know him/her better.
an as far as other men go maybe more will be tolerable to us,

After Ellen De came out an told everyone on TV that she was gay (roughly 10yrs now?) now its the norm an is about 60 to 70 % accepted through out the States , Now that Tv is paving the way for us maybe it wont take as long But heres to hoping :love: :hugs:

Can only hope it goes that way. Would love to have my wife accept me dressing, but I don't see it happening. Sure would be nice though. seeing it on TV cann't hurt. Let's all do our part to make it acceptable. Wanda

Sparks,

Take it slow! I got my wife (GG) to by my first pair of pantie. 12 years later she is buying me some of my favorite skirts and tops. She does draw the line on bra's and high heeled shoes. Need her to help me with the makeup purchace and use. As long as she realize that I'm not trolling for men I hope that it will work.

Good luck DJ

was ugly betty really about a TG/cd? i always thought it was just about a girl who didnt dress as fashionable as everyone else?

No Ugly betty is the main char in the show.
However this season the so called brother of the guy (cant remember name) that runs the company desided to show back up 2 years later after everyone had thought he was killed or somthing along that line.
He/She came back as one of the modles then reviled herself while on stage in front of everyone.

Not very recent, but I was surprized how well Nip Tuck (not the best Drama to begin with)approached the TG issue. There was a 2-3 episode story arc in the 1st season.

Grey's anademy had an episode on last month that was about a TG going thru the last step of crossing over and found out he/she had breast cancer and her SO was trying to find out what kept her coming back to support her. Was a very good show with a supporting SO
