Title: Trans roles on TV last week
Post by: BeverlyAnn on October 14, 2016, 11:30:21 PM
Maybe I missed it but I haven't seen any talk about the fact there were two different shows last week Oct 3-7 with transgender representation. Code Black featured two lesbian women, one of whom turned out to be transgender. The other show was Chicago Med where a sister of one of the nurses was trans. Both I thought treated the subject well, mentioned transgender is not an noun and talked about how family sometimes reacts to transition. The same actress, Alexandra Grey, played the role of a trans woman of color in both shows and apparently her role in Chicago Med will be recurring.  By the way, it was great casting as she IS a trans woman playing a trans woman.  Anyone else see these two shows?

Will check them out. It was so much more simple before I had 200+ channels, Hulu, Netflix, and the lot of them.

Thank you.

The episode of Code Black was titled "Life and Limb."  The episode of Chicago Med is "Natural History."
