There's already been a trans Eurovision winner (Dana International in 1998) so Conchita is simply continuing a great tradition.
Fabulous performance, good song. I approve of this win
This is what I dislike about the current 'trans' terminology.
AFAICT there's no indication that this performer thinks of himself as a woman.
It seems that he's a performing transvestite (and identifies as a gay male) and Conchita Wurst is a stage persona like Dame Edna or Vera Serduchka (from Eurovision 2007).
Dana Internation is a transexual.
I tend to think that words should illuminate meaning and 'trans' seems to obscure more than it reveals.
