Is the T-word the new N-word? [View all]

I thought this was an interesting take on a world that some of us are not privy to. I loved The Birdcage and I've always thought drag queens were fabulous. This is an interesting discussion of diverse ideas. More than one view point is given so outside of remaining respectful it doesn't set any rigid guidelines. You still have to use your best judgement when discussing our sisters.
