she needs to work on her voice! this is why certain people are so ignorant against transsexuals. if you say your a women but sound like a man, then how you think they will treat you?
Why can't we stop worrying about conforming in every way to "gender rules"? I have a voice that is considered shrill, nasal and/or feminine.
Actually, I love my voice because it is so distinctive that people immediately know that it is "ME". I've even been recognized on the subway by people who had only heard me on the radio.
People should have higher standards than judging and treating you on the basis of your voice. What you say & do is much more important!
i TOTALLY AGREE BUT IT IS A FACT! YOU CERTAINLY CAN NOT TELL THE WORLD YOU NOT A HOMOSEXUAL AND OR DO NOT WISH TO BE TREATED AS A MALE, WHEN YOU ARE ACTING AS A MALE IN WOMEN CLOTHING AND OR SOUNDING LIKE A MALE. THATS ALL I WAS SAYING.
I might be "macho" but I still believe in "manners". DON"T SHOUT AT ME IN CAPS! These people ARE NOT HOMOSEXUALS ! They are transexuals (with one "s" as they prefer). Are they supposed to "censor" their voice seeking "your" approval? I don't think so. They have the right to be the gender of their choice and to have whatever voice they choose! I invaded The Pines as a "Drag King" & some people told me I should "deepen" my voice. no way. I am who I am and my natural voice is part of that.
sweety, no one is shouting at anyone i typed in caps, so that what i typed could be read clearly. I am transsexual as well, but i will not display my mannerism (and cant) in a males way. I have been female my whole life, so all i could be is me. its not sensoring your voice for any approval just if you go through the trouble of actual dressing the part, why not sound the part??? i just pointed out if you want respect as a women you have to be it in whole not just by dressing but sounding 2
"if you want respect as a women you have to be it in whole"
what makes a woman? wearing skirts and getting your nails done with a soft voice? i know women with big muscles and kind of deep voices. women come in every shade of life and are not cookie cutter versions of ideas given to us from movies and magazines
@RandolfeWicker "People should have higher standards than judging and treating you on the basis of your voice."
That's wishful thinking, that's like saying that all people should accept anything that is out of the ordinary. You also make it sound that it's a bad thing to adjust, instead of just doing what we feel like. Why? Because you have this silly idea that it would lead to losing your identity?
@princessadiamond Yes , that is true , there is no dening nor changing what is fact , TG's are in the minority and MTF's are a minority among minority's themselves. true that !!!
Please forgive my brain fart. I mean I've met him*! He's* awesome! Unfortunately the influence the restricted and bounded modes of thought imposed on us by society is strong indeed. But yes, Imani is awesome and of Jamaican heritage, like me!
Great video,I was there that day, and I feel blessed to live in a city that we can hold out heads hight and walk proud in our streets. A friend of mine just opened her home to a couple who were excaping their country because they were in love and feared for their lives. For the first time in their lives and relationship they were able to give each other a kiss,in day light, under the sun and sky.(on the brooklyn bridge)I don't take our freedom for granted!!!!!
20loccuz, transsexuals ARE NOT fags. They were just put into the wrong body of opposite sex. U dont know anything about the problem, do u? How would YOU feel if YOU were put into the opposite sex's body?
This is only one facet of poverty related problems in todays' America as the gap widens between rich and poor. Even educated well qualified people get excluded into the "have-nots" category by mere accident due to failures in the country systems. Employment discrimination is horrible for transgender people, at least in the midwest of the USA like St. Louis, even in Seattle such as in Boeing and other companies; large and small.
As some of the vicious comments here show this is still a drasticly under-viewed clip. I will be linking to it from my website. come visit me at leathermenace.com Thank you for your courage.
I think it's good to see an actual rights rally. I mean, we have our day to remember our dead, which is lovely and all, but I have to say the notion of trying to prevent more from becoming corpses sounds like a much more appealing cause.
Again, thank you for your most entertaining comment. People like you make me feel good about myself; the lowest people do that.
This rally is only going to get bigger. When people see how much bigger this rally gets we will then see how much knowledge and freedom people had in 2005 to talk about gender, even in a city as big as New York City. Glad Randy was there for the first one.

We are living in a world full of narrow minded people. But I am glad to see brave people out there fighting for what they should really deserve.
Am a genetic male but respected and admired transsexuals (MTF OR FTM) for their bravery.

This country belongs to transgendered people just as much as it does to you.
American Indians had transgendered institutions called "Berache". Go back to the cave you crawled out of.
