I seriously doubt that any trans community representative would have genuinely approved of such a depiction, its vile and disgusting to think that the STR8 community perceives us let alone anybody that way! Its not shock fastor they wanted but the FREAK factor! I could think of a far betetr idea than that, and I'm not in advertising! I think this goes to show just how far advertising will and does stoop to seel you soemthign that you don't want nor need. This posters is not EDUCATIONAL, its a good example of how to dis-empower the smaller sectors of the community as a whole. Both those persons that thought of this idea then those that approved of this idea needs to get out the chair and into the street and see REAL people living their lives and then SHOW US RESPECT we all deserve! I think this just highlights how far behind the respect 8-ball the whole Trans and Intersexed community really are compasred to the rest of the world! Once more its the use the Trans community to get a message across to the STR8 community because you don’t wana be seen asa freak do you!
