Why does his/her sexuality matter?

Who does “Janet” have sex with: gay men, women who were actually born with female parts, or other transgendereds?

Good for her!

Congrats janetmock 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Why is this even newsworthy? who cares, hard work is what matters....creativity can be rewarded...but just because they decided they are a woman...why is that more impressive than say any woman getting a deal?
