This just shows how far we still have to go for acceptance. It's much, much more acceptable for a celebrity to come out as being 'gay' than that they are transgendered or enjoy the company of transgendered / transvestite girls.
Here in Canada, in most urban centres, being openly gay is no big deal. Being trans still is.

Of course, what the article doesn't say is that when 'celebrities' get caught in such situations, they deny they knew they were dealing a transgendered woman. Personally I think they know very well who they are dealing with but are too afraid to admit it.

Talia , the same is true here in the States dear . Then too, add to the fact that too many of us look down on one another as simply Crossdressers , or Pre- ops or worse yet , NON- Ops !!!!!!!!!! ellen
