Brave and beautiful. It's a very aggressive statement, one that blurs the line between what's man and what's woman, which is what we need. Not more reinforcing of stereotypes. People are people, I loathe this man and woman thing, I wish I didn't have to transition to feel right, but I do it because there's strict guidelines on how women should behave and how men should behave... and I didn't fit in with what men should be like.
What Conchita does here, is enforce the idea that men and women can do all they want to do, that people are free, and that's beautiful.
What saddens me is conservative attitudes... people who never wanted to cook as men but suddenly become interested in it as women because of retarded stereotypes that'll help make their fantasies more believable (then saying it's because of hormones lol!), people who go out of their way to parrot dellusional stereotypes of what "women" should be... these are the people that hold the TS community back, if you ask me, not Conchita. I'm pretty sure that if these people weren't transgender, they'd be traditionalists or some sort of conservatives. The only reason this sub-group of transsexuals is "accepting", is because it serves their own purposes, lol.
I'm not saying TS people should go out there and shake the world, mess with society's notions and stick out, but... please don't conform or dellude yourselves. Be your own person, that's who you were born to be, not a "man" or a "woman"... be yourself first, and then decide if you want people to call you a man or a woman, but just be yourself, it'll make things easier for the future generations.
I think if we're going to bash anything, it should be conservative/traditional "transsexuals", not a beautiful person who's amazingly brave!
