Carmen, YOU agreed to be the butt of the joke. What reaction were you hoping for? The role was set up for people to laugh at the 'Grand Reveal' and say "HAHA u fell for a MAN". If you really saw herself as a woman, there would be no joke for you to be a part of.... THAT was your role...to LURE MEN IN... TO TRICK THEM.... You cant go on jerry springer or maury and say yes ill be the butt of the joke but then cry later when they call you a man. Same goes here. YOU promoted your 'line trap' role for a whole week, then you get bent out of shape when the show airs exactly what you promoted would happen.

You sold US ALL (transwomen) out in exchange for some Reality TV air time, and now you wants us to rally behind you and join hands singing Kumbaya as if we can't see right through the bullshit. I agree, no one has the right to call you a man. EVER. However, if you don't put your hand in fire, you won't get burned.

You had no business on that show playing the role of a line trap. I feel betrayed by YOUR actions as a member of my community, whom many young tgirls look up to. It was YOUR responsibility to say, "No, my gender is not something to be laughed at on national television."

You've been making your round on reality tv shows lately, (trying to land an acting or hosting job Im sure) This petition reeks of a failed attempt to get on headlines more than an act of advocacy.

^^^ agreed. Carmen exploited trans women for personal gain... I am officially not a fan anymore..

I don't think you girls should be totally jumping all over her either. If you had the opportunity you would've done it too..for the $$$. Most of you promote being an escort with no shame and a dream of porn fame. She's just "caught up" tryin to keep her 5 minutes of shine going. You all will easily take a couple g's or whatever to have someone categorize you as a man.

I don't think the man part is a big deal...that's how anyone will react...if they are tricked

I think the tricking should be what is focused on..

Just because a trans-woman is portrayed in a series with out the "man" terminology doesn't mean the viewer is gonna be like oh yep that's a woman..I should treat her as a woman

What it did show to the mainstream community is we are deceivers and think it's a game

The show made it out to be that passable trans girls get enjoyment and have fun tricking people...

And a whole load of us have done Maury Bella

Danielle, Allanah, Kimber, and more..

You and I agree to disagree - I think it shows how attractive trans-women can be...

And it's not the same as going to a bar and tricking a guy or on Jerry Springer where they trick men...and wigs are pulled off etc...

ummm hell no.. i had a interview that was supposed to run in Reveal magazine. Did an interview and photo shoot for them. I pulled out of the deal when they ran a transphobic headline about Jenna Talakova ("Man Wins Beauty Pageants). I really wanted that check but their was no way my conscience would allow me to be involved with ppl like that...

you're talking out of your ass... You don't know 'us all' well enough to make that statement.

In fact, a few months ago before I got my breast implants, I was offered a gig on a CD/TV porn site. I was offered a decent compensation, and I turned it down.

Not everyone is willing to throw their TRUE gender under the bus my friend. Please speak for yourself when talking about issues you know nothing about.

I'm still not so sure this chick just straight sold out. Reality shows are back-handed as hell. I do kinda trust that they told her they were going one direction and changed it all post production. Nobody knows the details and everyone's filling in the blanks. A little benefit of doubt maybe?

Naive, though? Certainly. I agree with Sarah, Kayden, and Ryder in some regard. Carmen should have been smarter than that, especially when she's a union representative. *Cough!- She might be losing that job right quick -Ahem!*. She's partially at fault any way you look at it.

Wouldn't it be a huge mindscrew if we find out all of this is a ruse? She did the show willfully and voluntarily attacked it afterward just to cause a scene and get her name out? I'd laugh.

This proves MY case.
