Transgender and Crossdressers: Whose news?

I'm always asked by other crossdressers at conventions or nightclubs why we as transgendered people are not as newsworthy as they think we should be. "How come you don't see more crossdressers being interviewed on Oprah or other programs?" they ask. Here's what I think.
First, the days of a guy who likes to wear women's clothes being a newsworthy event are just about over. What I mean is that most crossdressers live a pretty mainstream life, and when they are dressed it is usually at home, a convention or a nightclub. Okay, there are those mall excursions and fine dining experiences once in a while, but for the majority of the time we are either in male mode doing our everyday jobs, or female dress going to a select place. The majority of you who crossdress do not go to work dressed, or cause news making headlines. Sure, there's the occasional ->-bleeped-<- Bank Robber on the six o'clock news, but obviously that is the odd case far from the norm.
