Piers Moron has the open-mindedness of the Taliban and the all the charm of influenza.

I'm confused about that article though. Is Derrick Barry aiming to transition? Or does 'he' think of 'himself' as a guy merely impersonating a girl for a career and a way of making a living? The way it's written isn't really clear.
The quote about the world being ready to see that male impersonation is a true art form... suggests the latter. In which case... calling him a transsexual doesn't seem right.
But either way, there's no denying that Derrick looks good.
