She did committ a hate crime, steal anything or kill anybody… Lol! She stated her opinion on her own personal time. She has that right. I agree with u 100%. You are hilarious by the way! :)

Although both are relavent to the trans experience, they were not relevant to each other…two separate non related scenarios sharing one post space on the internet on a transgender-based blog…My strategies on my own marketing is not 100% gear toward transgender individuals. I dont like preaching always to the choir. One of my strategies is when someone finds my blog, they get a nice read about one trans issue…and then they are lead from that issue to another by attaching another form of multi media….i.e. a video. The video that was initially posted was not the video you see…the girl deleted it…i just hadnt adjusted the text to reflect the updated video.

These two concepts, while indeed relevent, aren’t quite the same thing…

I was prepared to share my story about my trans status revelation to my folks (and the results), but the video has me puzzled as to whether this is the post on which to share that…although I feel it could be a benefit to another trans “on the fence” about that sort of disclosure….

BUT the scenario you depict in the video is a real hoot, and makes me “SMDH”! LOL

]]> Comment on THE SKINNY PREMIERE by Cheryl Courtney-Evans http://diamondstylz.com/2012/04/06/the-skinny-premiere/#comment-735 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 22:08:30 +0000 http://diamondstylz.com/?p=1412#comment-735 I agree; as a Gender Non-Conforming (GNC aka LGBT) community, we need to support the efforts of ALL of its members. You make me very curious to see this movie, and I’m personally going to make every attempt to get down to the Midtown theatre here in the ATL to see it! Oh, and by the way, not to mention this film is African American-centered; another reason it deserves support from our particular segment of the GNC community. *two thumbs up*

But I wish you had written about the dark side of escorting, which would benefit those trans women who are planning/thinking about entering the escort profession. Via your experience, let them know it isn’t all sunshine and ice cream cones, that there are men who may shove an escort around, take her money, belittle her for being trans. Give it to them straight, no chaser. Again, thanks for revealing such private details about your life.
