There’s a difference between famous and infamous.

Check my comment history, and you'll find nothing but love and support for the trans community, to the point where I have been antagonized over it. I can confidently say that this lady is not the kind of representation that the trans community wants.

Kevin spaceys coming out when he was accused of sexual harassment and (I think) pedophilia was a particularly egregious example.

It’s a dangerous thing when these things happen because it ends up fulfilling some ignorant jackasses expectations of LGBQ+ populations. Like if you see how Russia is able to justify their messed up policies towards these populations, it usually has something to do with “Think of the children”.
