I WONDER....

So Neil Patrick Harris has just opened on Broadway as Hedwig. His "angry inch" is a one inch penis that's the result of a botched sex change surgery. Is this an accurate or positive portrayal of a post-op trans? Of course not. But it happens to be a highly entertaining and intelligent musical. So will the militant trans community denounce this? And will GLAAD, which has sided with the trans community recently against RuPaul, dare to go up against bigger star Neil Patrick Harris? I doubt it, since the organization loves to lick celeb butt so much that they award straight actors who play gay or trans for their bravery--when these actors are actually just getting a huge paycheck. If you're such a baby that you can't accept any negative portrayals, then you are stifling creativity. Don't stifle John Cameron Mitchell's or RuPaul's. I think trans militants are actually creating transphobia—even in the gay community which has generally been the most welcoming to them. I don't recall any cries of trans slurs when Hedwig was created in 1998. Maybe we've lost our sense of humor to political correctness since then.
