Madonna went so far as to make a tranny the star of one of her videos, Mykki Blanco (in “Dark Ballet.”)
What’s funnier though is I suspect Madonna’s face was simply too fucked up from surgery to be featured in a video at the time. So she appears briefly beneath a veil. (With her eyes looking crazy and seeming to point in different directions a la a recent Botox injection.
The song seems to compare tranny oppression with the plight of Joan of Arc - we are shown images of Mykki being burned at the stake.
I know this is

but it’s funny to me that a woman renown for her vanity and relentless self promotion was a) too fucked from surgery to appear in her own music video and b) was willing to feature an unattractive black troon instead for maximum tranny credibility. Oh and lest I forget Mykki is very vocal about his HIV+ status so extra credit for that one too.
