Quote From: x15galAs a transgender person, I might agree that it could have been better if they had chosen to do this quietly, on the other hand however, as I watched the show, I definitely came around to their side of the picture. This was their only alternative to have a child who had some biological connection to the parents (at least one of them). And as was pointed out, there have been others who have done this previoulsy, but have kept quiet. Is it okay to have gay marriage, as long as it is kept quiet? Is it okay to have segregation, as long as no one says anything about it. The list could go on from both sides of the issue. Someone has to be the first. This isn't something that can just slide in the backdoor and no one notice. Whenever it was done, ten years or hundred years from now, the public reaction would probably be the same. (deep sacrasm here:) "Can you imagine those colored folks wanting to drink from the same water fountain as the rest of us? What's next, the right to vote, or to marry a white woman?" Someone had to be first to step up and say something and to break the sterotypes. Contrary to what many might think, I believe this is a very positive mnove for the long term for everyone. Michelle Imagine a world where people are just people. No one cares who you sleep with, who you love, what colour you are, how much you weigh, if you have a mustache while pushing out a kid... come to think of it, I'm sure that has happened before, waxing is a pain in the last trimester. I don't care what clothes you wear, how you look, who you love, as long as you are happy, I am happy for you. I love the energy at the pride parades. I love the fact that no one is hiding what they are. Silence is pain and death. People don't hate, or judge harshly... uh huh. Just cover your mess would ya. We won't burn you at the stake, if you keep your nasty secret to yourself. Being transgendered, or gay or intersexed is fine as long as you are a eunuch. The concepts of love, freedom, justice, and equality have become too broad for most people to understand. If these concepts do not encompass all they are worthless. Anyone that cannot or will not see that is unevolved, and when was the last time you saw a Neanderthal? In the mean time continue to be loud and proud it is your right.
