Isis has two valuable crossdressing lessons for us from last week's episode. The first has to do with handling yourself in the face of intolerance. One of the other girls in America's next top model was clearly uncomfortable with Isis being transgendered. Even pushing her away during an evening when the girl's where partying and hanging out. I was very impressed with how Isis responded – she didn't get angry or upset, and pretty much just ignored it. Therein lies a valuable crossdressing lesson for all of us. As crossdressers and the transgendered there will be people in our lives who show us disrespect, disgust and discrimination. In many situations the best answer is to treat the other person with respect, ignore the insult and carry on with your life.
I don't like the veiled insinuations that Isis is "just cross-dressing" or that she's "just another cross-dresser" who has made it to America's Next Top Model. Even though the writer has very good points, she still lacks knowledge on terms and definitions IMO, especially when it comes to transsexualism.
