I too applaud Felicity’s portrayal of a M to F TS and I also applaud her makeup person. Great job! I thought the plot a bit contrived but it’s theater.
That said… and though in the main I feel she has been good for the community, I wish when Felicity accepted her Golden Globe Award and when she appeared on Larry King live recently, she could have at least once said the word “Transgender” or “Transsexual”. She always seems to refer to us as “those who have the courage to become who they really are”.
Mentioning us “obliquely” is a subtle form of prejudice, and a type of nod to general society’s distaste, I feel.
I could live without being referred to “obliquely”. Perhaps she feels she had to regain her place as a born female so that people would not think that she was actually a transsexual.

Nothing puts a bigger smile on my face than positive publicity re: this subject. Another small step ahead………

Thank you Felicity

Nevertheless, I’m damn proud to be a man in a dress.

still I would prefer to be called a “man in a dress” than “the deceased”

Anything that shines the light on us as ordinary human beings deserves our support.

And probably still refer to the character as a man in a dress.
