I was flipping through the channels and I heard the word transsexual in Spanish. Being that I am fluent in Spanish too, I was able to watch this show. I can't remember the name, but it was shown on TV yesterday in the evening. I'm trying to get more info to post on here.
So basically, they had 3 Trans women. Out of the 3, 2 were prostitutes. The other was running for congress. The woman interviewing them was so incredibly condescending! Despite her smiles I could see she was fishing for things like... "So were you ever molested as a child?" Then she would sort of make a face like Oh that explains it. All I could see in my mind were these macho latinos watching this show and saying "you see, that's why that happens!" It was so sensationalized and cut to be just another Jerry Springer like show...not funny...I'm still fuming. Then she starting to pick on the last Trans woman who was actually running for congress, was successful, had transitioned with a wonderful family and so on. She (the reporter) focused on what ever negatives of anything she could turn negative. Sorry, I'm sooooo angry I can't even write what I feel.
If this doesn't make any sense, I'm sorry but I HAD to vent somewhere.
Thank you stephanie. This really annoys me and I'm sure most others.
If I am ever in a similar situation I intend to try to rebuff such questions, probably by suggesting that these matters are private and irrelevant.
