Sad story

“I felt everyone in this story was trying to elevate themselves to being a maverick, a boundary pusher, a visionary. In actuality everyone comes off as shallow and kind of gross.
The producers of the Something About Miriam show claimed to want to push acceptance. So they got a bunch of bachelors drunk in paradise and surprised them with the fact that she’s trans? It was meant to humiliate them all for the sake of the show’s (and their own) notoriety. They didn’t care about her one bit, only the paychecks they received. They come off as sanctimonious at best.
Miriam wasn’t able to launch her singing career was posited as a sad commentary on the world not being ready for someone like her. SHE COULDN’T SING! That could have had something to do with it.
Her sex work being described as the only thing she could do to get by is a joke. How about a 9-5 like the rest of us do to pay the bills and live the lives we want? The fact is that she would do anything for male attention. I also read that she was married to Daniel Cuervo. You left that part out because it didn’t fit the narrative.
The horrible accident where she fell from a building and was hit on the head with a hammer was horrific…and you glossed right over it. Miriam was clearly associating with bad people and that’s what eventually killed her. You have to admit that along with the multitude of comments about her glamorous life all over the world.
And I’m sorry, but the narrator was terrible. More intonation would help. Less comparisons to Helen of Troy (!) would be even better.
I worked with trans people for years, I know their struggles. They would be horrified by this story of tricking men into thinking she was born female. And so was I.”

“Grateful to hear this story. Trace Lysette’s elocution is beautiful. I’m also impressed at the attention that she pays to properly pronounce non-Anglo names. It’s a small but significant thing.I hope that she hosts more shows/gets into voice acting!”

“The ads for this, which are everywhere, are unavoidable to trans people who already know how badly this is going to end for a woman who just wanted love. Like getting punched in the face on every adbreak”
