Sorry, but here's my two cents worth.
In the end, the world breaks down into two types of people...
TYPE 1: Those who had a rough time in life, trying to climb certain ladders or open certain doors, and who were left a bit angry about the way the world treated them -- and thus they feel the next person coming up the ladder or trying to open a door, trying to make it in the world, should have to go through the same bullshit and pain. In short: "Hey, if I had to put up with the bullshit, so do you!!!"
VERSUS
TYPE 2: Those who had a rough time in life or met certain obstacles, and who now want TO HELP the next person in line. Who want to TURN their life experiences into a learning tool to help and spare the next person all of that same pain. In short: a person who wants to use their life to make things better and easier for the next person in line.
bla bla bla
After all, isn't the truest measure of us as human beings...of our true worth...being how we help each other? That we DO give a "rat's ass" about each other?

William Blake summed it up much better and succintly:
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to endless night
As for this horseshit of being a spokesperson or a cheerleader or some kind of role model for the trans community, here is my reply:
FUCK YOU.
I don't need to be any of those things. I can just be me and if they want to learn from me they should watch me. Do you think artists care about the younger art generation coming of age? Do you think Jackson Pollock or Mark Rothko gave a shit about their younger cohorts looking for guidance? Fuck no! They painted, they drank, they lived their lives. And they have left some of the most beautfiul modern artworks ever made. And therein lies the lesson for the young artist.
The greatest thing I can do for any younger tranny, and let me reiterate I could care less about them, is simply live my life.
