When Will We See Our First Transgendered Suicide Girl?

Considering the small-minded flack over Miss Canada, I thought it an opportune time to ask a question that's been on my mind for years. I believe sexual self-definition is a human right, and I have definitely seen many surgically altered models over the years. So why not transsexual/transgendered? I'm not talking drag queens, I'm talking full hormone therapy, living as a woman, the works. Apologies if this has been posted before (and I'm sure it has). I am not pushing an agenda, but an honest rationalization from the SG staff. Many thanks.

i actually think there might have been a transgender hopeful at one point...but i can't remember her name.

the hopeful that i remember definitely didn't show her genitals, except from the front, with her legs together....she was brunette, and gorgeous. there were a few other reasons i thought she might be trans, but i won't specify them because while i don't AT ALL mean them to be, they might sound offensive.

there is one already

I could be mistaken, but I am pretty sure there was one, who was archived back in 2002.

I certainly would not object at all to seeing transsexual SGs. The courage, dedication, and not caring about traditional popular western culture that just being transsexual represents is everything that I feel being a suicidegirl stands for.

I think it would be cool! If there is one already, excellent - let's have more!

People who have had a sex change aren't termed trannies. Some people might not mind but really they should be thought of as simply male or female, having had a sex change pangenderness and stuff is super awesome though.

Transgender is an adjective, you don't use it in the past tense.

thank you.

It would not surprise me if out of a couple thousand and change (along with the hopefuls) there were a few.

All for the better really.

One of the more flexible aspects of social constructs is that (especially nowadays) it does not tend to follow a dimorphic system of categorization.

Freedom of expression takes on many forms and if these individuals reach a point where they are comfortable exhibiting themselves as a gender they weren't born with...

Then this community and on a delay, society in general is the better for it, I think.

Why would it matter?

How would it be anyone's business?

Is there some Suicide Girls checklist that I have have not been issued? Let's see one African American, one Brazilian, Two Swedes, and I just need an Uzbek to finish out my membership.

Finally after all of my years as a member I have learned that Suicide Girls are not shy wall flowers. So if there is a transgender SG and she wanted us to know we would know it.

Gotta catch 'em all!

Well said. The whole "let's just see people as people thing" only really works for those who have the privilege of already being seen as people.

My comment was opposition to the check-listing of people which degrades a person to a collectible.

And as I concluded in my original comment

Of course there is a good argument for outing people see Outweek of the late1980s. I have always viewed outing as a tactic that should be limited to hypocrites who are harming others.

I hate double postings forget the edit!
