over in merry old England, theres a show called Big Brother (I think it's in America too, just wasn't as popular), and on the 5th series, a transsexual called "Nadia" was on there. Nicknamed "The Portugeezer", as she originally came from Portugal. Anyway, she had said whilst being in the house, that she wanted a music career. She was snapped up as soon as she won the show, and starred in her own music video, albeit was a really bad song, it still shows that anyone can get a famous career going.
Glenn Close seems to have done allright for herself

I dont consider "female impersonation" roles positive.
Many of the "girls" that have the most mainstream exposure do because they are being portrayed as a freakshow.
Its really sad because transexuals get NO respect.
That has to change.
There have always been transexual people and the time is now for some acceptance and consideration.
It is only when certain transexuals get accepted as women that they get any respect.
I am afraid that it will be a long road mainly because of the irreligous right wing zealots.

As for the Hollywood movies you mentioned... the subject matter dealt with TS's but the actors were not.
So you do believe in God after all, J? You must believe he exists if you attribute action to him: you say "this god writes," not "those who believe in him write," thus attributing action to him, either thereby verifying his existence (or at least your belief in his existence) or nonsensically attributing action (writing) to something which doesn't exist.Quote:

I daresay Danielle's God doesn't condemn her for her lifestyle, and that she would say that it was men who misunderstood or deliberately misinterpreted God who condemn others, not her God.
Personally, as a Buddhist, I see no need to believe in a Deity as some individual being or creator, but I respect others' right to conceive of and even worship the Ultimately Undefinable as God if they so choose. I do not respect those who seek to impose their will or beliefs on others, whether in the name of God or secular Humanism or atheism.
My view is that its a vicious cycle. Transsexuals will not be accepted in mainstream media until there are meaningful roles for them, but there will not be meaningful roles for them so long as the roles are sensationalized. Sensationalism sells. and unless all girls, like True, turn down opportunities that pander to that lowest common denominator, those parts will continue to predominate. And so long as girls need the work, they will not be able to turn down those roles, and so on and so on. Another factor will be that even if the character is transgendered, they will go with a genetic girl, or a non-transgender male. They always say, its not what you know, its who you know, and fair or not, the casting people know the same actors for different roles. A lot of Asian and Hispanic actors can make that same complaint, when more familiar white actors portray other ethnicities.
It would be nice if someone or something would break that cycle. But look how many roles Jaye Davidson got after the Crying Game.

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW
Danmmmm that girl is awesome...I have a new Goddess now...LOL She is second to Roberta Close ofcorse....Thanks for the link...It's women like that we all aspire to be....
She not only is proud of who she was before - mentioning she was a transvestite before her transformation but she also posted boy pictures on her web site.
Trully an amaizing lady ( altho there is a horrible picture I think she should take out , she looks drunk ) LOLOLOLOL
I love the video with the wedding dress.
SOOOOOOO HOT! What a great way to pertray transsexuals. I believe if someone will pertray transsexuals in the mainstream it needs to be someone who makes smart choices and who doesn't lose control at the sign of alcohol or drugs, all we need is a TS Courtney Love, that would be tragic for our comunity, I will not mention names but...again I don't agree with a certain someone representing my comunity. I am not the one to talk, I am not the best example, but....I trully believe we need positive role models and she will do more bad then harm.
Again this posting was excelet, I am saving that link and using it as inspiration!
WOW
I am picking my jaw off the floor
I mean - MOre harm then good
