Celebrities

Celebrity transgender women no more represent all transgender woman than actresses and models represent all women. They don't represent them in how they look or behave, what they say or with their experience. Transgender women are as diverse as all women in every aspect of being women, but more importantly they're all women and the word transgender is just a label the media uses to separate, even denigrate or demean them as women.

A Better Word

Instead of the word "passing" to describe how someone can live as their chosen gender and no one know their history, meaning their transition, I ran across a better word, "blending", meaning to just be like everyone else and no one cares to ask let alone wonder or know about their transition. A better word, to be lost among the many.
