Trans-Justice

Britain's Got Talent. And similar crappy reality shows to us. This group decided to do a take on the Pussy Cat Dolls. ooh, video

The catch is that they're all some manner of trans. (-gender or -vestite) They have good performer names (except for Tony, but that's brilliant in it's own special way) and I'm wicked jealous of Vanilla's sense of irony.

So they have a decent amount of talent for one of these shows and get promoted in the clip. But then they get booted because some of them either are or have been sex workers. I thought the puritans left Britain and came here.

As a trans varietal, your job prospects aren't always that great. But if the side bar ads I see are to be believed, there's a lot of grocery money in sex work for trannies. My hope is that the majority that try this path do not get damaged on it. Either way, assuming the person is also a grown-up and dealing only with adults, I see it as their decision.

I learned about this through this blog, which I've never actually read before. But it was linked from this one, which is one of my favorites.

Speaking varietals, I am a strange manner of fem-nazi it seems. I believe in special privileges. Equal rights are bull shit. Sex can be political, but that doesn't mean I think it should be banned. And, horror of horrors, not all men are evil. Though most have been duped into buying into the system of patriarchy that holds down the little guy, too. Look at Ken Blackwell, waiting to run for Governor until it was his turn. At which point he was so used up there was no way in hell he could win.
