It reminds me a tad of Chelsea Manning given the trans community was aware of her status long before it became public knowledge. Having said that, I do dislike the fact some trans people in both cases tried to impose 'transgender' on them and also tried to define the specific form of their gender identity long before either of them made any public declarations or self-defined of their own violation. I'm categorically not saying that was the case on this forum as I wasn't here to see it so can't know but I view the people outside this forum that did it as a wee bit disrespectful and dangerous, somewhat akin to when people of a particular sexuality effectively force people out of the closet via speculation.
Hey, Honey,
Since you are new to the forum I will let you know that the thread in question was whether or not he was in HRT because many of her pictures showed a breast development. Cis-man do not tolerate boobies at any age.... so I said: "If you walk like a quack, dance like a quack, talk like a quack....Chances are you are a quack"
As far as discussing whether somebody is trans or not, well at least in the USA, is my constitutional right, so long I do not slander anybody, right? and more important it is natural that we are preoccupied with celebrities or public personas who may be trans. We are desperately seeking good "role models" and "good- will ambassadors," to be our representative and examples. We do have a number of them, and now the bountiful Andreja Pejic joins the ranks
Having said that, I do not believe in malicious gossip or subscribe to the policy of outing people.
To Ms. Andreja Pejic.... G-d speed Girl !
