As bad as silence of the lambs is to cross dresser, the movie that bothered me was "Psycho" I mean that last scene when he jumps out in that frightful black dress and that ugly Grey wig in a bun, that was horrible, oh yeah, he was also a serial killer, and a peeping tom. Now I don't know how peeping toms, and serial killers feel about it, but the way she was dressed was an embarrassment to crossdressers everywhere.
I hear you Launa, Russell Williams (BTW he was stripped of his rank and military privilege by Queen Elizabeth the day he was sentenced), is a bad mark for TG within the military. Few differentiate between a serial sexual sadist displaying lingerie as a trophy and CDers.Quote:

I personally hate the movies that portray anything I do to be evil. Usually the movies and I know they are mostly fiction will do anything to shock a person with something that has a twist to it. I and my wife have just about quit going to the movies as it seems all of them are getting more and more violent. What erks me is even the kids movies today has some form of violence. Being from an educational background I have seen kids emulate movie characters. Add a crazy childhood by a few sick parents that could care less what their kids do or even if they are home at night, then you see why we are having some crazy shootings in our schools or real serial killers shooting folks thru a hole in the trunks of their cars. The news and our silly talk show correspondents only look for any thing that is not natural to them to take off on presenting their stories. Cross dressers, gun owners, and terrorist when they make the news are portrayed as bad guys. This has to have an sub-conscious effect on anyone's brain. The skin color does not make a person a terrorist, guns do not make a person a killer, a tube of lipstick does not make a person a Crossdresser. Why does the news, the books, movies and even tv cartoons use certain things such as this to criminalize the whole of each represented? Oddities sell newspapers, oddities sell yahoo ads each morning, any oddity in life will make some reporter money but leave in the readers mind that the oddity is evil or good depending on how it is portrayed in the context. We need the good guys portrayed to be cross dressers to change folks views of us. Lol
Jerry Springer, and countless others have done more damage than that media loves to bash, dirty laundry sells.
I think we will always be a topic of controversy of some magnitude, just as are Phil Roberson, and so many others, I just plain don't care any more, I am no stranger to controversy and am prepared to cope with it.
