I miss Alex Bennett soooooooooo much. He had all sorts of people on his show- no holds bar on gender or professions. A well rounded person who did the best interviews. Growing up in S.F I followed him all around the radio dial on every station. He did a lot of computer related stuff on CNET I think but there will never be another show like his!
Thanks for telling me. I will pass it on if necessary. I think you have a lot of courage. Sorry if I offended you. I was really gender challenged by living with a man becoming a woman for the first time, full time, that is. It was probably a good experience for him and for me. I know it was for me.
@drmarconi - What I found was, by playing along and showing an ability to laugh at myself I opened them up (and hopefully) some listeners to being educated by TS issues, plus I showed myself to be more of a "regular" person. If I'd come off as defensive or lecturing, I'd have turned people off and nobody would've learned anything. Alex actually shook my hand with admiration after the segment ended for being a good sport and holding my own.
I love Trannys. Remember my roommate? She's married and very happy. This woman is beautiful. I hate to hear you make fun of it though. It's a difficult path; they don't do it for fun.
@drmarconi - Actually, many transwomen hate being called "trannys" because so many people use it as a derisive term. As for it being a difficult path, if you listened to the interview you'd know that I am a transsexual woman. The problem is that making fun is what this kind of show does. If you don't roll with it, you end up looking bad and don't get an opportunity to do any educating.
Can I have a say on this relatively new videoposting? I think you sound good and honest, and I am impressed that you can express yourself so well. I feel kind of related to you and the same "stereotype of a woman" though I am sitting here fingering my beard :-) It is not easy. You are doing a great job!
Dear friends & fans, thanks for all your kind words. The comics on the show were faced with the task of being funny enough to entice listeners to their standup shows. Having been in Glamazon (my former rock band) and knowing how important it is to build your audience, I fully empathize with my fellow guests and didn't take their jokes personally. BTW, Alex shook my hand after the segment, clearly happy with how well I held my own and added to the show.
Christine....I reckon you stood up to those wise-crackers really well! I didn't hear any hesitation or faltering in their company, you were very self-assured. Thankyou for putting it out on YT, it was good to hear of your experience now, in 2009. Sincerely, Sonia
Great to hear a talkshow featuring someone who's transgendered in a positive light. You did well expressing yourself here! You've come a long way. Way to go!
christine I really think, that you are a role model for the transsexuals are current prostitute. I wish they could see that, they have the potential to be whatever they want. I would love to see videos of you talking about your experience as a prostitute and what made you stop. thanks for your videos goddesse!!!!! your fan Tasmia
