All public scrutiny of the media is good and some day the stereotype of the demented crossdresser/transvestite may be behind us. In the meantime each of us who goes out into the public have an important job.
As
we interact with clerks, servers or the public at large, we really are
pioneers in a sense. We combat the "Jerry Springer" sensationalism by
showing people one at a time we are just people too! Rather than putting
our pants on one leg at a time, it might be panty hose!
We are a media of one. We didn't ask for it but it is a huge responsibility we should be greatful for.
