I have said this before. The TG community gets pigeon holed for entertainment purposes. Yo won't sell a news story that says crossdresser saves puppy. I can promise you that if you did save a puppy the story would ignore the cross dressing part.
In the "real" world we are only seen as Clowns (the Milton Beryls, John Cleeses, Robin Williams (and later Nathan Lane with Robin Williams) the Tootsies. The over the top extreme comedic persons. There is hope though because 50 years ago other minorities were portrayed that way also.
Or we are perverts (ie the peeping Tom or the people everyone worries about in the women's room). That makes the news. But there is hope, several minorities were portrayed as sexual monsters before too.
Or we are criminals and especially murderers. Psycho, Silence of the Lambs. But don't worry, other minorities were portrayed that way in the past also (some still are).
Or we are all looking for SRS. Or we are all unbalanced.
Think for a moment. Name 5 TG people who have been shown in a positive light. It doesn't get noted or when it does it is buried (there are TG people in the government upper administrations). Of course there was Marv Albert...Oh he was listed in the pervert section.
Most TGs can fade away, disappear, hide. Most do. Look at the posts here. The number of people who won't tell anyone. Can't blame them,why would you want to be associated with Clowns, Psychopaths and Degenerates? Oh My. We know better. We have members in the armed forces, public safety, management, education, medicine. They can fix a car or fix a pipe. They can build a rocket ship. They can invent a new device to save lives or, find a cure for cancer, or they can bring world peace. But we don't advertize that. It doesn't catch attention. We need to do things that bring POSITIVE attention. And as long as we are only seen in glitter and thongs in the Pride parade, it ain't gonna happen
