Can We Stop

Can we stop putting RuPaul in the transgender catagory and stop letting him talk about transgender issues or transgender people? The guy is a gay female impersonator, who has never changed that perception and description of himself.

It's time the media but more importantly the transgender community stop catering to this guy as someone who "knows" transgender people or knows what it's like to be a transgender person. He's a gay man who like to dress up.

He has worked hard on that image and nothing more than that, especially not ever calling himself a transgender woman. And he's called in-transition and even post-transition women "trannies" and then defended it as just the normal word gay men and female impersonators use.

That's crap and nothing more or better. So drop him for what he is, someone who hates transgender women and lumps them into being just "trannies" like him. He deserved to be called out and the transgender community shouldn't give him a pass or allow him an apology.

He won't change, so leave him with the gay community like all the other gay men (I'd use a worse word but that would be stooping to RuPaul's level he calls transgender women).
