  • They let Calpy play her fiddle in "TransAmerica." Big deal.

  • @sbflash311 LOL, while I was advising an internationally acclaimed actress on a trendsetting portrayal of trans people in an Oscar and Golden Globe nominated movie that I also performed in, before being interviewed by Mr. Sulu about it, what were you doing?

  • @CalperniaAddams What I meant to say was that you could and should have played the lead role.

  • @sbflash311 Oops now I look like a bitch, ha ha. Sorry! I get attacked so often on YouTube I have a hair trigger.

  • When is the movie industry going to start using trans actors to portray trans individuals in movies? Wouldn't it be nice to be a little more authentic.

  • To be able to Meet George Takei, now I'm really jelious lol. You are definatly an amaising and talented person.

  • I just rented Soldier's Girl. You are an amazing, beautiful person Calpernia, and I'm so sorry for your loss. I really admire you and hope to see you on the big screen A LOT more <3

  • Which program was this on @KPFK?I missed it.

    Mr.Takei for Mars and much love to you all.

  • O,wow!

  • Oh my gosh I'm so for the comments on the sexy japanese man's voice! I never got why trans women always had such "exotic" roles when in general we're very average people? I mean personally, i'm not a pornstar, prostitute, nor do I go to bars trying to seduce men... not that I would complain if a guy tried to seduce me ;)

  • Calpernia, did it bother you that he called Felicity an "actual woman" and "extremely heterosexual" in contrast to trans women? It sounded as if he was discounting trans women as women, and implying that trans women who like men aren't "extremely heterosexual" as well. I was slightly bothered by that. It seemed like in his head he doesn't consider trans women to be "actual women" too. I would've rather heard "biological women", "natal women" or even "cisgender women".

  • @sbflash311 As for what I was doing, I was doing the same thing I am now, living vicariously through you young babes.

  • I love George he is so great on the radio. This interview was so good. Thanks for posting on YouTube so I could hear it. --Shay
