Transgender Pioneer Jing Xing on Art and Censorship

Jing Xing's an amazing choreographer and dancer who happens to be transgender.   Notice how she's valued for her artistic contributions regardless of her gender identity.  No one even mentions "transsexual" and "trangender".  When this happens, you have arrived.

What I fear most about transgender organisations and networks is that some of the leaders seem to be vested in keeping transgender women down or in a state of "victimhood".
