Flashlight met Scott Turner Schofield before any of this got going, on a visit to Out North Theatre, where Schofield has been serving a six-week term as artistic director. This is what Flashlight remembers Schofield as: Pleasant. Gender ambiguous, yes, but mostly, just very pleasant. Schofield unlocked the gallery Flashlight had come to see, and that was that. Until six days ago, that is.

Six days ago, Flashlight discovered three things. The first was that ABC recently premiered a new reality TV special called Conveyor Belt of Love. On the show, 30 men are given 30 seconds each to make a good impression on—and earn a follow-up date with—five women. The second thing Flashlight learned was this: On Monday, January 4, Schofield made an appearance on Conveyor Belt. And the third, most ->-bleeped-<--stirring piece of information Flashlight learned was this: Back before 2004, when he began his legal, medical and social transformation, Scott Schofield was first Katie Kilbourne, a debutante and homecoming queen hopeful, and then later, KT Kilbourn, a lesbian. And just recently, that last part might have become news to the folks at ABC, as well.
