I Repeat Gay Media, RuPaul is Not A Trans Expert

Gay media, did I not succinctly make the points in this 2009 post that RuPaul is not a trans person, emphatically said he was a gay man, and if you want to know what the trans community is thinking about an issue it would behoove you to ask a living breathing transperson?
Guess I need to repeat it for Michaelangelo Signorile's benefit and the rest of the gay media and vanillacentric Gayosphere.
RuPaul is not a transperson, he is a Black* gay man.
The Black part has an asterisk behind it because of his selling out ongoing support of an odious drag minstrel 'performer' when Black people cis and trans, gay and straight have repeatedly stated how offensive that show is.

Yeah, but opposed to most of the 'gay media' which tends to be bloggers in basements, RuPaul is really in real media.
