ARTICLES ON FAMOUS TRANSGENDERED
ROLE MODELS
Recent years has seen considerable
lobbying of government to give rights to transsexuals. These
efforts are at last, to a degree, achieving positive change
and better lives for Transsexuals. However this greater acceptance
must equally be attributed to the growing list of positive transsexual
role models. These people deserve, along with the political
campaigners, our greatest thanks for this progress.
However at the transvestite end
of the transgender spectrum we have very few positive public
role models. Until non transsexual transgendered people step
forward and find opportunities to gain the empathy of the greater
public both transvestites and those transsexuals mistaken for
transvestites will in practice, continue to struggle to receive
the respect, safety and rights due any human being - and indeed
the rights in law accorded to gays and transsexuals.
Transvestite ROLE MODELS In this
edition I feature three “Transvestite Role Models” that insist
on acceptance and begin to change public preconceptions. Although
all are controversial even within the tranny community they
too deserve our support and thanks.
