Now that Caitlyn has publicized her transition will we be seeing more of the same? Will more well knowns be proclaiming that they are CDs or even better and showing themselves at public functions or will they be discreet. I'd hate to see this become a circus that was only performed in the interest of publicity from a celebrities point of view. I question whether this would be beneficial to the transgender community in the long run. If it were done in a discreet manner that sustained awareness of the trials and tribulations of the transgender community I would be inclined to accept it. However, if it were sensationalized, I'd think it would be more harmful.
I do admit that it has brought up more awareness of the transgender community; whether or not this is a good thing or it can be sustained to our advantage will remain to be seen.
As always,
Ilsa
