That's chloe.jpgright, folks. If we're lucky, knowing a trans person may finally edge out that tired old "I'm not bigoted because have a gay friend" excuse people sometimes march out in the name of tolerance. Chaz Bono's transition announcement tipped the scales and suddenly networks are scrambling to cover this new, sympathy-friendly subset of people with touching exposes, "you're-so-strong" talk shows, and other sorts of news coverage. ABC is took this one step further and spent prime-time television time to profile a transgender woman.

Lame...trans people aren't any more special than regular people despite it being unusual. I hate feeling like a sideshow act.

Yes, but you can't stop being a sideshow act until people accept it as normal and that takes publicity.

Oh Gee, I don't discriminate against people because they are handicapped. Because I know someone who is in a wheel chair. Pure BS. We only ask for our equal rights as humans.

I need to kick out a memoir now while the iron is hot.
Get my butt on Oprah and make some moo-lah.
