Woah... her resume is stacked! Isn't it interesting that she isn't plastered all over the internet and on sleezy papers at the check out counter? I wonder how she pulled that off!

The kind of people who read those sleezy news papers don't want to feel intimidated by transwomen, and the publishers are scared of someone who can afford expensive lawsuits?

Rothblatt doesn't keep a low profile. We've had stories here about her before. I agree, I'd like to see a whole lot more about her and less about transgender reality TV stars, but I agree with AnonyMs: The idea of a brilliant accomplished trans woman might be intimidating to some.
