Alexandra Billings, a well-known Chicago Transgendered entertainer, made her "ER" television debut on a recent episode. Billings played a woman "with a secret."
Her character, a pre-op TS, checked into the emergency room with a breathing problem, only to discover a life-threatening problem.
By the way, I understand you can see her cabaret show at Gentry on Halsted towards the end of this month.
I, for one, am extremely pleased to see more and more TG performers ACTUALLY portraying Transgendered characters on television and the movies.
For one thing, it does bring our issues to light (to the general public), providing the situation is treated fairly and accurately.
