SAO PAULO (AP) — When dancer Camila Prins entered Sao Paulo’s Carnival parade grounds, a costume of feathers clinging to her sinuous body, she fulfilled a dream of feminine beauty nearly three decades old.

Prins says she first realized she wanted to be a woman at a Carnival party at age 11, when, like the other boys, she was allowed to dress like a girl as part of the burlesque festivities. Now, in the final minutes of Saturday, she became the first transgender woman to lead the drum section of a top samba school in either of the renowned Carnival parades put in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

Does “she” speak in a husky voice?

Nothing, and I mean nothing replaces a real designed by God woman. No cross dresser, no mentally disturbed self castrated freak of nature, nothing.

I thought of Fabio with this picture (i.e., the one on the left) I forgot about DaviD lee Roth!

Cover the bra on up and below that - what a muscular TRUNK! Should be wearing a speedo. Supposedly 2 months after giving birth models end up with ripped abs and massive rib cages...I dunno. :/

The whole thing is a celebration of depravity. We should be praying for these people, not enabling them by telling them that the idea of being a woman born in a man’s body makes any kind of sense. These people have a disease of the mind and should be receiving kind and compassionate treatment to reverse it, not told that they are normal. Those who are enablers are not doing it out of any concern for these derange people. They are doing it just to be seen doing it and climbing aboard the old politically correct “Look at Me I Am Such a Great Woke Person Bus”. Look up old movies and interview footage of many of todays outspoken Hollywood liberals and you will see what they really believe back when they were allowed to speak the truth. That ability to speak from the heart disappeared and they all now have to lie to be loved by their fellow liberals.

Which is really sad, since it’s supposed to be a Christian celebration. Of course, it’s no better what they’ve done in the US with Mardi Gras.

No parrots were involved in an accident on the M-1 today when a Lorry carrying High-octane fuel was in collison with a bollard. That's a BOLLARD and *NOT* a PARROT. A spokesman for parrots said he was glad no parrots were involved. The Minister of Technology today met the three Russian leaders to discuss a 4 million pound airliner deal....None of them went in the cage, or swung on the little wooden trapeze or ate any of the nice millet seed. Yum, Yum.

Brazil and Thailand vie for Ladyboy capitols of the world. Not surprised.

That being said, I do miss Carnival.

No, “she” spoke in a “rough low voice”.

I find it interesting that men who want to become women always have such an odd idea of what it means to be a woman. They equate femininity with nudity/sex/skimpy outfits.
