I just watched Trantasia on Showtime.  I will say that these were some of the most talented individuals I have ever seen. I was really pulling for a couple of them who did not end up in the top eight.  One of which would be Tiara Russell.  I realize and I thought they all realized that only 8 would be chosen.  I was so disapointed at the end of the show to hear some of the things that Tiara had to say.  I was thinking this is a strong person to conquer the world as a black man is tough.  To go on national television and say this is who I am was even tougher but then to act like that killed it.  I thought more of Tiara and Terrance before that.  I hope Tiara continues to strive for what Tiara wants and don’t let small things defeat Tiara.

I’m a married American (Swedish & Colonial English ancestry) mother of four, and a farmer (horses +).  I’ve seen the documentary 3 and a half times and thought it was wonderful in almost every way.  Marie was correct about some of the conduct of certain participants while filming in on an outdoor Nevada boardwalk. It wasn’t very “womanly”.  Wreckless disregard for your behaviors affect on those around you is not consistent with the genuine essence of how most women (unless they’re emotionally or psychologically unstable) approach the world.  That’s probably something for whihch we should all be greatful.

I have many positive things to express about the film as well but while I’m working on that review… the most important thing for me was to get the word out ASAP that I agree Maria Roman was absolutely the most beautiful woman/person participating in the pageant/project.

I have the highest respect and admiration for everything she has strived to become.  God Bless you, girl. You are an extraordinarily refreshing human being and an asset to our people.  Thanks for all that you do to improve existence.  If everyone did a little of that, the world could be an even more awesome place to live.

If our paths never cross, I want you to know I appreciate you and believe what you’re doing is important work.

(and so does God, though this is NOT a religious based message. I’m spiritual, but have never allowed my mind to be closed by the
man-made rules of “organized religion").

Anyway, you all should be proud of yourselves for maintaining the courage to go out there and pursue your dreams. Besides the people who you know genuinely care about you, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. We have one life to make the best of that we can for as long as we can.  Hope and faith is alive and well in the United States, eager to take you where you need to be.  Keep believing in yourselves and get help for whatever problems you have any way you can.  Blessings to all.

I rent this movie on demand & i think that the trans’s of this film where so trashy! running around vegas streets acting like fags! what kind of lady shows her tits out in public! trashy trashy trashy! these men need to get some cless before they try to be called lady!!!

Remember: Being a lady is not about how you look (not that you men look like a ladys) but its how you act!

People get bad ideas about trans girls because of trash like this video!

& whats so talented about lip synking?!?!?
lol

I just saw the program on showtime and I just wanted you to know that I think you are very down to earth and beautiful person inside and out.
You were very attractive as a man and a beautiful woman. Some of the others seemed like major drag queens and you were your natural self.
I am a fem gay woman by the way!
Thanks,
Judy
