Former Bachelorette star Josh Seiter has called for the franchise to cast a transgender lead on its next season.
Seiter, 37, who came out as a transgender woman in May, told DailyMail.com it was important for the dating franchise to reflect the diversity of modern America.
'America is changing. It's not just a bunch of middle-aged cis white people anymore, and the LGBTQIA community makes up a large portion of our country now. Yet we've seen zero representation for trans women and men on the franchise,' Seiter explained.
The Chicago native said she was pleased to see the franchise become more inclusive with the casting of Jenn Tran as the first Asian Bachelorette, and Grant Ellis the second Black Bachelor, but feels the network still hasn't gone far enough.
'How is the show a staple of Americana and our broader culture if they are leaving out the same individuals that make this country so unique and vibrant? It's good they've decided to finally cast an Asian woman and Black man as leads recently, but where are the trans women and trans men on the show?'
'There's so many young trans individuals who don't see any representation when they turn on the television and I think that's a shame,' she continued...
Seiter, who currently works as an OnlyFans creator, stressed the high suicide rates among transgender people as a reason that more representation was so desperately needed.
'It's no wonder suicide rates are so high among trans individuals when all we ever see are heteronormative cis narratives in entertainment,' Josh said.
'We need to start normalizing being transgender and one way we can do that is by portraying our stories on television.'
Seiter said that she would be interested in stepping into the role as the franchise's first ever transgender Bachelorette.

Why post this crap here
Just craves attention and validation.
This sick attention seeker always looked a bit light in the loafers.
What legal right does he have to “demand” anything.
Oh. My. God.
this freak is also making porn?
He looks like a deliberate parody of a fake woman;
IOW; a FAKE-fake. Some of the True-fakes are probably offended.
That pervert might as well be speaking a language other than english. The trans bs ramped up into warp drive when our government (obama , California) rammed gay marriage Americans didn’t want down our throats.
I hope to one day “relieve” myself on Barry’s grave.
I’ll take “best way to get the Bachelor cancelled” for $500, Alex.
Is this a joke? Let this person produce his… oops her own dating show.
Truthfully, no one is watching that. They are sick and tired of trans.
That's true. I remember all the suicides among women when they weren't represented on corporate boards or in male only clubs or positions of authority, and the black suicides because they weren't represented in certain schools or TV shows or movies. Don't you all?
The idiot has it backwards. If the trannies are suiciding it's because they have serious mental issues that led them down the tranny road to begin with.
Mental illness is the new normal.
B.S. You mentally ill freaks are in our faces constantly, trying to shove your nasty fetishes down our throats.
Go away. You’re disgusting.
Yeah, I love my women with 5 o’clock shadows...
Mutants on every corner
I can't believe this stuff. It's gotta be a bad dream.
‘It’s no wonder suicide rates are so high among trans individuals when all we ever see are heteronormative cis narratives in entertainment,’ Josh said.
Yep. That’s the reason, alright. 🙄
