GLAAD To Honor Kim Cattrall SIN Star for Racial Profiling Transgender Defaming Elitist Classism

http://planetransgender.blogspot.com/2011/05/glaad-to-honor-kim-cattrall-sin-star.html

GLAAD is going to honor Sex in the City star Kim Cattrall at the GLAAD Media Awards in San Francisco on May 14.

GLAAD's announcement makes no mention of the "Half Man Half Woman ->-bleeped-<- hooker" "Chicks with Dicks" Sex in the city episode. Cattrall's racial stereotyping of transgender woman working to survive was bad enough but when she threw the bucket of water down on them knocking one persons wig off stripping that woman of her humanity, that was too much. Add physical assault to the list.

But does GLAAD give a flip as long as she has a lesbian GF and supports SSM?

Ok, so the award is NOT for service to the transgender statistical population or even for likeabilty to us.

I fancy myself as a closet script writer for scripts with transgender characters in them, and two days into one of my best efforts, I realize a serious problem, and that is that no one will recognize my character is transgender IF they represent the best of transgendered people, since they start to end up looking like cis men and women, or in otherwords, boring as hell.  (Which really is how I see myself in future days.)

Script 1
A warm loving couple of a cis mom and a trans mom and two adorable little brats that will steal both your hearts and your pocket change would look almost Leave It To Beaver ish.  This is a real story that will never sell to short hour TV series even about sex. (In vitro fertilization is not erotic)   

Script 2
How does a smart and heroic trans-woman attorney take on the defense of a white cis bigot, keep herself out of trouble and by giving her client the best defense of her career, still get him put away for life.  Ok thats the Devils Advocate plot (from the scottish legend) but the end of it is going to be for her getting wasted by the other Trans or Gays for even taking on the job!!   

We need our own better writers for the shows, so when are we going to field a couple?? ???
I refuse to have a war of wits with a half armed opponent!!

Wiser now about Post Op reality!!
