I really don't think it paints a clearer picture at all, it just helps reenforce the "normal" perspective that transgender women are not real women, it reminds the audience not to think of her as a woman who finally had the courage to live her life as she really was but as some kind of freak show, a curiosity one might see in a circus. It also reenforces a lot of transphobic and cissexist attitudes about trans people.
