Hi Tiff,
And isn't THAT one of those Big Things that keep some of us hiding in the back of our closets...
I don't think you can rely much on celebrities to necessarily help us with this - to them, all publicity is good publicity and the longer they can spin something out, the better their agents like it!
Can I suggest you dig up some examples of more positive <relatively> normal, celebrity CDing with which to counter and allay your wife's concerns and fears...? The only two I'm aware of offhand are Grayson Perry the artist and Eddie Izzard the artiste (and comedian). Both have Wiki entries and although both are Brits (sorry!) they are internationally known, if not renowned... It might help a bit!
It does seem odd that there aren't more - but I've mused on this celebrity thing before - I think it demonstrates the stigma that remains with this and therefore, while there certainly are celebrity and famous CDers out there, the only ones likely to come out are those that are probably on the road to transition... At least we have a couple of Brits flying the flag! Hoorah!
