overlap

I watched that prog last night as well. I thought it was quite interesting but it was a bit frustrating as he seemed to skim over all sorts of stuff. It was a bit like this is my only chance to say this so I'll cover everything a little bit. Overall it was interesting and thought provoking which is quite a rarity on TV these days.
 

Hmm, I know what you mean about covering the ground, but I'd say that was something that I particularly liked about it - especially the motorbikes bit.

It's good to see the subject covered in the wider context of male/female identity, rather than shoved into a specialised ghetto of freakdom though.

And it was a starting point rather than everything wrapped up in a neat digestible unit that means there's no further need to consider the question.

But if there's any aspect anyone feels was skimmed over, but which they'd like a deeper look at, I'm ready to offer whatever perspective I can.

I guess, as in the programme, my feeling is that while it's briefly risen to the top of the agenda, I'm keen to wring every ounce out of that while I can.
 

I bet lots of girls who are not very pretty go into internet chat rooms quite often, putting it about like some promiscuous high school cheerleader. No-one commands your undivided attention more than pretty girl, so who would not want to step into her shoes for one evening? Transvestite obviously takes this to extremes, but I think same reasoning still holds.
 

That strikes me as a rather simplistic take on something which is by definition a very complicated and diverse subject. To consider undivided attention as the primary factor is to miss the point somewhat.
