An 'able-Bodied' actor that pretended to be disabled - when a disabled actor could have played the part. Constant use of the word tr*nny (and transphobia) for laughs over its seasons.
What is it about Glee that made 200 transgender people (must be in SF) As I doubt the mid west US would have anything like this.
"The choir, which is thought to feature the most transgender people ever seen on TV"
Apart from marches, protests and pride events? I think 200 turned up at SPARKLE Manchester AND CAMERAS WERE THERE or Trans* Pride Brighton? I am pretty sure more than 200 attended. Or the TDOR? this is again 'Firsts' and it grinds my gears.
"Glee’s executive producer Dante DiLoreto said: “It is incredibly uplifting working with this choir."
Short memories eh?
In another episode a person pretending to be trans said “My parents are not cool with me dressing up as a tr*nny!”
But it is all fine now... or is this the epitome of trans*currency ( http://library.transgenderzone.com/?page_id=2987 ). I would have been more impressed if they had told them to f*ck off tbh! And made a stand. I mean it ain't gunna be 200 middle-class FTM business men. Now that WOULD be worth doing!
But the glamour was too much to cope with and chances are the solos and young 'hot trans' or 'odd-exotic stereotypes' are at the front?
Some may say they are trying to right their wrongs - I say they are just cashing in again but in a different way. The fact they had to trawl the country the size of the USA to find 200 trans singer yet could probably walk down the road and find 200 gospel singers suggests this is actually a very sad state of affairs tbh.
