I think it would be bizarre to pick somebody to speak at the convention based on their sexual preference, because once you go down that road, why don't you pick a transvestite?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Frankly, if people aren't going to cast me because I'm queer, than I don't want to work with them.
It feels like a simple human right to be able to be yourself, and yet, what trans people have to go through in order to get to there, it can be so complicated.
The personal things should be left out of platforms at conventions. You can argue yourself blue in the face, and you're not going to change each other's minds. It's a waste of your time and my time.
Everybody wants to have a partner; everybody would love to have a family, and for trans people, sometimes that can be extraordinarily difficult to do.
I learned a lot more about transgender people. It's not a choice, but a physiological condition that has to do with the size of the hypothalamus part of the brain.
Proclaiming a sexual preference is something that straight men never really have to bother with.
Yes, I am transgendered but I also am a cross-dresser - I dress as a woman. It's not that I just want to be seen as a female in our society, I'm also a drag queen and a performer - there are many levels there.
I don't think anyone should pick a candidate for any office based solely on gender. That would be, I believe, a mistake.
I'd like to think of myself as somebody who has a voice for liberating female sexuality.
Nature chooses who will be transgender; individuals don't choose this.
