When does Marci Bowers find time to perform surgery?

I mean, c’mon! Every time I see a documentary on transgenderism, she’s in it—her and Jameson Green. Granted, they’re both excellent speakers, and great ambassadors, but isn’t there anyone else out there willing to be interviewed? At this rate, the world is going to believe the transgender world consists of Jameson, Marci and whoever she’s operating on at the time.

Talking about TG’s on TV, Larry King had some folks on last Friday night, including Susan Stanton. I was getting annoyed by some of Larry’s questions; they were basic, and insulting. (He asked an 18-year-old if she had surgery yet, and when she said no, Larry pronounced her not a real transgender.)

But then my wife pointed out that Larry already knows the answers to the questions. He was asking the questions that most of his viewers were wondering. Odds were that most of the people watching the show were not TG, or were not even familiar with gender identity issues. So, he was throwing softballs at the guests, allowing them to knock ’em out of the park.

Still, I try to catch most of the gender identity docs on Nat’l Geographic, TLC, Discovery, and the like, and I do tend to see the same people. So, my question to you, dear reader, is: would you go on a legitimate documentary if invited?
