I personally am not interested in nor will see a TS, as with you not my thing.
But, that doesn't mean I don't feel she is deserving of the Miss TER of the month title. Nor does it mean I don't think she's beautiful. Some guys don't like blondes or brunettes or red heads or big boobs or small boobs or fake boobs or small asses or big asses...etc. We like what we like, but that doesn't mean we can't have compassion, respect and admiration for those that don't fit the mold of what we like.
I heard a great commentary from a MLB baseball announcer a couple of weeks ago, the topic of conversation was that a Major League player "came out" to the public media and as a former player in MLB he was asked how his teammates might receive the news, he said hey all I care about as a teammate is how you play and do you give us a chance to win, who you love makes no difference in the equation as to whether you help us as a team to win and how you play the game. The poignant statement he made though was that because we are talking about it, this means that our society has a long way to go in accepting diversity, and I feel this is true. Jackie Robinson was a great man, and a great ball player and I put those in that order on purpose, he took on bigotry he took on ignorance, he look adversity in the face and he beat it back. He paved the way for all races to participate in the highest level of Baseball. Today, we think very little of the fact that a ball player is black, oriental, hispanic...etc. We judge them, as Dr King so eloquently said, "not on the color of their skin, but on the content of their character", (OK well content of character may be stretching it as not all professional athletes are professional people, but I'll assume you catch my drift). Until we don't care that a ball player, or any other person, says publicly that they are gay or lesbian then we have a long way to true inclusion of diversity.
I am happy and proud that Sasha won, not TS Sasha, but Sasha. Unfortunately in the the world we live in, it's a milestone and/or big news and perhaps we look back on this month of this year as the start of true diversity inclusion and Sasha is credited with trailblazing. I think she is capable of handling the burden that comes with doing so and is gracious to both her advocates and adversaries alike and is a true ambassador of her peers (whether or not they are TS). When we can say hey congrats to Sasha without it being a milestone, then I think we can celebrate evolving as a species, I long for that day but unfortunately I don't think I will see it in my lifetime. But you can't get there until you get started.
Well Sasha, if you've read me you know I have the propensity to ramble on, long and short of it is I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart, I'd love to meet you one day at a M&G or something like that, it would be my pleasure to hang out with you, just as it would be my pleasure to meet and hang out with lopaw, or GaG or Perfectstorm...etc.
Today is the first day of the rest of our lives

i knew you could and would win. I just didn't expect it so soon. (Just based on Miss TER history.)
