Throughout her career, Tina has often been singled-out within Talking Heads, and the rock world at large for her gender. A November 1977 piece on the band mentioned that Tina was "''a rarity in the rock world, she's a nonsingin female musician who is no more or less important than the rest of the band. But for that very reason, Tina has attained a certain celebrity status.''"<ref>Toepfer, Susan. “Neanderthal Bass.” ''Daily News'', 20 Nov. 1977, <nowiki>https://ghostarchive.org/archive/3fND1</nowiki>.
