A bunch of single men compete to get the mannishly large hands of transgender activist Calpernia Addams! http://www.advocate.com/news_detail_ektid50724.asp Logo Green-lights Dating Series Featuring Transgender Logo has announced that it has green-lit a new competition dating series, Transamerican Love Story, centered on transgender activist, artist, actress, and author Calpernia Addams. The show, hosted by comedian Alex Mapa, follows Calpernia Addams as she whittles down a group of eight bachelors living together in an Los Angeles-area house, with the help of her best friend and fellow transgender activist Andrea James. Addams is an out trans woman to all the show's suitors from the start of the series. The show will feature online voting at Logo's website, allowing viewers the opportunity to tell Addams whom they think she should have anal sex with. The voting results will air live during the show, but the decision will be Addams's alone. The hour-long show, which will premiere in February 2008, is executive-produced by Randy Barbato, Fenton Bailey, and Tom Campbell of World of Wonder Productions (Transgeneration, The Eyes of Tammy Faye) and Joe Del Hierro of Oh Really! Productions (The Big Gay Sketch Show) and co-executive-produced by Julio Kollerbohm. Starts Monday at 10 Eastern!!!

It will be repeated all week, so interested Sucksters will want to tune in-at least for the first episode! Calpernia is the ultimate made-up, fake transgender stereotype....but her friend Andrea must be the most-natural trannie I have ever seen. Of course I am laughing my ass off at that douchebag Mike wearing a knit, short-sleeved sport shirt with a suit and tie...oh the horror, oh the horror...

But he was not really in it much and was kind of meh when he was around. Poor Calpernia. I can't discern a personality in her anywhere so far. I'll probably have to keep watching though, because now I feel like I need to know who she picks.

Pretty touching Showtime movie about it called "Soldier's Girl". The boy was truly in love with her, and kept with her despite learning she was a (pre-op - according to the movie) transexual and despite the dangers that she and others warned him about. Heartfelt stuff, really, from Showtime. Cal is interviewed in one of the DVDs features ... was lots prettier then IMO ... before some apparent plastic surgery. This show is a trainwreck, and not in a fun way. Couple/three of the guys seem nice (and in glasses boy's case - VGL), but I don't see any chemistry whatsoever ... if she's honest with herself vs. pandering to the proper ending to the show, I don't see Calpernia choosing any of these guys. Nor them her.

I don't want to judge transexuals...but I find it much easier to be sensitive to the plight of feeling one is born in the worng body when they do the operatrion and come out looking average, as opposed to attempting to look like Barbie.

What is it with these ads?

What is it with these ads? I couldn't even finish the movie version of "M. Butterfly". I would have been squirming in my seat, waiting for it to be over, live. Plus, 15 years ago, I probably could have used my high school ID to get a reduced ticket. Who was the other lead? When I first posted in this thread, and you had the last post, there was a Google ad thingy in your post. Then I posted, and it moved to my post. Then I posted to say that I was in a Google trap, and it moved to that post. Now, I don't see it on any post in the thread.

If so, then omg. The best friend on "Boy Meets Boy" with the classic "This is bullshit!" meltdown was named Andra. If you ever catch Miss Coco Peru's stand-up special on LOGO, she rips Andra a new one, sews it up, and then rips it open again.

I can't remeber who played the other lead. They had to bill Alec as "A. Mapa" as to not reveal the secret.
