He is certainly not something that any transwomen I know hold in adulation.
Lets play a game, shall we...let's look at a couple of youtube videos from the early 90's, with real women whose presentation defined femininity for that time. The great Queens and transwomen of the era sought to emulate these gorgeous females, and something has been lost since then, I think...ask a transwoman of today if she would like to look like Andrej or Christy Turlington...

I could give two shits if someone wants to find a way to diminish him or find a reason to "not hold him in adulation". I have no problem liking Andrej Pejic. He is beautiful. I like thinking about how beautiful he is. I don't worry about if I like boys or girls. He transcends all that bullshit.
Funny, because I know several that indeed does, although they are Post-ops.Quote:

Why not instead do it the other way around, shall we: Ask a bunch of random Bio-females on the street if they would like to look like transsexuals, and see what lots, or even all of them, would answer.Quote:
