TS/TV/CD Love Blog – Because Of Your Uniqueness

Scott Turner Schofield is a man who was a woman, a lesbian turned straight guy who gives the appearance of a young gay teenager. He was formerly Katie Kilborn, a former debutante and homecoming queen out of the Deep South. Basically he is a FTM performer with a transgender identity.  His three solo works, “Underground Transit,” “Debutante Balls,” and “Becoming a Man in 127 EASY Steps” have toured nationwide since 2001.

Beleive it or not, Schofield was part of a male meat market on ABC’s latest reality dating show, Conveyor Belt of Loveon Monday, Jan. 4. ABC describes “Conveyor Belt”: “Five women take a shot at finding love when 30 men are given the chance to impress them as they pass by on a moving conveyor belt.”  And lo and behold our own Scott Schofield is not only one of the elegible men hitching a ride on the conveyor belt, but he ended up as one of the four finalists!

Now the show itself sucks big time, but kudos to ABC as Schofield’s transsexual status was never mentioned to the contestants. (Actually ABC has a pretty good record of representing the LGBT community, even casting transgender actor Candis Cayne on the brilliant but canceled ‘Dirty Sexy Money.’ Looks like this only adds to the network’s growing portfolio.)

FYI – Scott made the finals was was passed up for a guitar player in the final round. You can follow his antics and activism at http://www.undergroundtransit.com
