Transsesexual breaking through SHOULD be them breaking through in a significant way and gaining notoriety without having to sell their ass.
Oh, most people aren't trying to be pioneers with how they get money, most people just want the money. It seems like you'd be more satisfied being the first transgendered elected official making $90,000 per year rather than being an entrepreneur that simply meets the needs of a given community making $200,000 per. I had a friend in High School that first introduced me to that concept. He admitted to rather being employed by a major pharmaceutical company than just simply owning his own business. It wasn't about the "stability" of the pharm company, but rather the "prestige" it would afford him whenever he told people what he did for a living. There's a bit of validation there that some people need, and others can do without. The "merchant class" historically is well respect and very powerful, but today it seems like the idea of the "professional" has taken over in the minds of some.
