Political Correctness Has Missed Transgender?

Mainstream acceptance would not be having someone be famous and trans, it'd just be acceptance of her as another woman in whichever field she's in. Kim Petras for example, seems to constantly be rolled out as "youngest ever sex change" yet her music is always a distant afterthought. I'd love nothing more than to see TS women occupying leading lady roles or whatever, instead of being a bad punchline to a joke only misogynists laugh at

Actually I like Kim, she's a talented wee minx. Wish she wouldn't speak so quick though

Cyndi Lauper Girls just wanna have fun - Kim Petras Cover - YouTube

Or Bell Nuntita, who enbraces the fact that she's trans.

Transgender at "Thailand's Got Talent" surprises the audience! - Transexual cantora surpreende! - YouTube

I wasn't having a go at Kim, I wish they would allow her music to talk for her instead of her past. I too think she's talented. She speaks like she learned english from Scottish people as we all talk too fast too haha

. As for Bell, I am in awe of that woman

You're right on all that and I didn't think you were having a go, it was just an excuse to give her some air. I also think what you said about PC was right.

Always good to see either of those two so I welcome more excuses to do so

Kind of stupid (and telling) that Hit & Miss cast Chloe Sevigny (who I like) instead of finding a TS. Wonder what will happen when / if the show trickles to US.

She's on TV over there quite often. And had cameos in movies and whatnot.

Unfortunately she was estranged from her family for a long time. But, when she was discovered on the talent show she was reunited with her parents. It was really touching, my ex shed a tear while watching it on TV.

What about Jamie Clayton she played Thomas Jane lover on Hung and not as a drag queen or transvestite.

Lets not forget Laverne Cox in the upcoming Netflix show "Orange is the new black"

Chloe Sevigny? Huh... kind of ironic as she played the femme fatale who was pursued by an FTM in Boys Don't Cry.

The prejudice is on your side, having decided there are talented transexual actors who can't get a job, which for all I know may be true. You obviously don''t want to admit that most of the cast of most soap operas are not good at what they do, it may pay the rent but the quality of acting in soap operas has been a standing joke for years. And where there have been transexuals who acted -Eva Robin's for example- they have also been successful and in her case prejudice had nothing to prevent her success, so I am aware that there are transexuals with acting ability -but in terms of volume I don't know how many transexuals want to act, and I doubt it is a lot.
