I agree with you about the transgendered. It's a painful life for most. In this case I blame Donald Trump for using this as a stunt to get attention for his sleazy contest and to make people tune in to gawk. As for the remarks on the thread - most trolls have been taught to read and write in this country.

So while I think I've gotten most of the fear and hate nailed down in my comment above, it is possible for well-meaning people to be horrified *by what they perceive* to be just another step from tattoos, penis enlargement surgery, and various cosmetic mutilations like tongue splitting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-29653144523947249272012-04-05T14:39:09.000+10:002012-04-05T14:39:09.000+10:00I read a comment that went something like this:

These comments only show the poster as intolerant and hateful. What a waste of energy and a life that is! <br /><br />To each his/her own.<br /><br />I have to agree with RMO and MSP. I've entered Drag "beauty contests" as an amateur and placed very well. It might not have been a boy turned girl takes on real girls but all the voters knew I was a male.<br /><br />That knowledge did not stop the drinks, as tips, from coming in nor my being personally asked to go on an additional date. <br /><br />Yes, I knew what that meant! So what?Billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08191152071395073265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-70213386653873973192012-04-04T21:59:35.673+10:002012-04-04T21:59:35.673+10:00Sex is hardly black and white, as anyone visiting ...Sex is hardly black and white, as anyone visiting this blog would know. But at the same time, some discrimination is good, pretty much as RMO said.<br /><br />As for the contest, most contests are discriminatory. They categorize people so that they're on mostly equal ground to compete. That's never perfect (or no one would ever win), but the wording on the rule is one of the more eloquent and descriptive rules I've seen in contests. The only thing clearer, whether they intended it to be worded that way or not originally, would be to say that they had to be born with XX chromosomes, or no Y chromosomes. Still not perfect, but nothing ever is.<br /><br />Finally, I don't see it as any different than professional/amateur competitions. They usually use whether you've been paid or not as the cutoff, but even then, like this case, it's always a little murky.<br /><br />MSPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-61510733037459631942012-04-04T01:44:16.731+10:002012-04-04T01:44:16.731+10:00Good reason to not have one size fit all or one wo...Good reason to not have one size fit all or one world government.

The commenters... Years ago I used to think that people like that were idiots, or more charitably, anachronisms unable to adapt to the strangeness of electric lighting and indoor plumbing.<br /><br />Today I think that they are afraid. Fearful. Change and the unknown topple them from their precarious mental perch. If they were to work side by side with Jenna, I think their fear would evaporate.<br /><br />Keep on keeping on.
