Did you see City Paper on It's Always Sunny last night?!

Frank Reynolds is a City Paper reader! In the beginning of last night's ep, "The Gang Wrestles for the Troops," the titular gang sits around the bar watching old Hulk Hogan videos while Frank, aka Danny DeVito, flashes Carolyn Huckabay's cover story on trans musician and activist T. Desiree Hines:

She knew that Mississippi would be the death of her.

Which is why, on the morning of August 28, 2001, T. Desiree Hines was leaving. She packed a suitcase full of skirts and dresses, carefully applied her makeup and prepared to take a taxi to Jackson-Evers International Airport, where she'd catch a 6:45 p.m. flight to Washington state by way of Memphis. She'd spent the last 21 years living, uncomfortably, in a male body. She was ready to be a full-time woman.

Leaving the stranglehold of the South may have been the single most significant moment of Desiree's life, but it was only the second most significant moment of that particular morning.

UPDATE: Here's a quick screenshot, courtesy of CP reader Jen Walker/Lucinda Lunacy (thanks!):

Hines is also, coincidentally enough, mentioned in this week's Agenda lead and Art Phag because of her screening of classic horror flick Nosferatu. Unfortunately for those who missed our star turn, Hulu is on an eight-day delay with the episodes, but here's a preview. Along with our solid cameo, it was totally fucked up; one of those eps where by the end, your mouth is agape in horror and you don't burst out laughing until the end credits start to roll. I thoroughly enjoyed. We'll stick up the new episode when Hulu does:
