What is up with Alexis Arquette?

[The Truth]

Are you kidding? Like I said this is not a slam on anyone.

I think Alexis is great. I admire her. It is just that I am not really sure that she is a "her" as I understand it after many years and knowing thousands of MTF s personally, true MTFs and gay men are natural enemies and don't generally "date".

You need to report her or him (I'm getting confused now) to the Transsexual police ASAP!!!

Here are some excerpts.

"She's My Brother," on the other hand, raises more questions than it answers. None of Arquette's famous siblings is interviewed for the documentary, which makes you wonder where the title itself came from. (She's whose brother?) You also have to ask why the actor barely has enough money for a cramped apartment and $100 therapy visits when she has three multi-millionaire siblings; what happened to make Rosanna, Patricia and David Arquette cut her off? Is a lack of family love the reason Arquette so obviously craves public attention? Or is she just a born narcissist?

Meeting a close friend of Arquette's would also help, but as she tells her therapist, she doesn't really share intimate feelings with friends. "My friends are so way out there, that when I do see my close friends feel stuff and actually go through emotion, it is so alien, to them and to me," Arquette says. No wonder people question whether Arquette is genuinely transgendered or rather a drag queen hitching a free publicity ride on the transgender bandwagon.

Unfortunately, Arquette does not present a single post-operative transsexual acquaintance to offer guidance -- to either Arquette or us, the audience. An expert in trans issues would have added a great deal.

"Drag performer Alan/Ms. Alanah seems to have Arquette's number when he insists that her talk of a full sex change is nothing but a publicity stunt, virtually performance art: "Alexis is full of surprises, and he likes attention, that's for sure!" Alan/Ms. Alanah laughs. "He's working in this medium because it's like working in . . . watercolors."

Dude, give it up. No one cares but you.
This thread was way past dead.

Whatever. The Truth, you are an idiot for yelling at Rod la Rod. Good point on this Alexis post. It's a great post. Forget Truth and Legend. They are idiots. We are all with you on this post.

She was originally just a drag queen, but came out as a transexual last year. She as far as I'm aware she is on hormones.

Alexis is most likely a fetishist.

Taking advantage of more liberal attitudes and living in places where people will tolerate a such a blatantly not even trying unpassable transsexual. Not in places where a gang of youth's could beat her down for looking that way.

Harsh but true.

Wow, you just joined HA and you're defending a poster you don't know and insulting two other poster you don't know either.
Welcome to the list of wierd new HA members.
Ah, I almost forgot. Shut the fuck up!

THis is a totally valid question / post. Rod was only seeing if someone could perhaps help him to understand a tv/ts who may be happy to take no steps towards transformation in a physical sense.

Did some of you have a bad day and then take it out electronically? If it keeps you from doing it physically, good, but its not realy the point of the post or the internet.

Here endeth the lesson.

Yes I agree. Alexis is more like a effeminate gay guy who thinks he's a transexual. It's really a bad example/representation of the transexual community. I agree 101% with BrendaQG!
