But a television series about a crossdressing character living full-time as a woman played for real and not for laughs, would educate the civilian population.

Sure, shows like Drag Race and movies like Wong Foo and many others have raised trans issues, but pop culture in the media tends to skewer toward the drag theme more than the daily struggles of those of us who want to be accepted for who we are. The drag persona is shown too often, I feel, as over-the-top and cartoonish and while helping to raise awareness also tends to hold back acceptance when trans people are portrayed so outlandishly. I wish this character was shown as living full-time as Ginger and not being that individual only on stage. I'd be interested in hearing how others feel about this issue, whether you've seen this new show or not.

Then his other side, "Courtney" gave it a try and moved ahead -- then was spotted as Shane, but still continued in the competition (unlike Ginger). I've set my DVR for all new episodes.MikkiBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776593599337986303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-3072966927822009052020-02-06T09:04:12.348-05:002020-02-06T09:04:12.348-05:00I remember Angelique very well.
