They only ever seen to get a mention in connection with some controversy over gender reassignment or conflict with feminists.

The Eurovision contest produced a few winners (and famous also rans), such as Concita Wurst (sp?) and Dana International (sp?); but indeed I can’t think of many examples outside ShowBiz (Wendy Carlos is a musician; Sophie Wilson and Audrey Tang in tech; can’t recall any others)
