[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 669590, member: 14557"] It seems that her being transgender is an issue to many people in that community and her flaunting behaviour may be a reaction to that. It's not very mature reaction but it is common. I have seen for example many gay people who usually do not behave 'stereotypically' to start to behave like that, when they feel judged for being gay. I myself and my family are part of minority in our community that we can conceal, if we want to. Normally it can be seen and heard by sharp observer, but less sharp may miss it. My son was in one point living and working in the area where many have very negative perception of our minority and while at home and with friends he does not flaunt the minority status, he started to do that there. I know I'm tempted to flaunt, when for example someone says something negative about my minority referring to me in public place. It is matter of pride, not being threatened to hide who you are. Distastefulness is still distastefulness, but I have to say that somehow I sympathize. [/QUOTE]
