This casting call for a new Sky Atlantic HD series, "Hit and Miss", worries me. To summarise: They're after someone to play the leading role, a trans woman, in a new TV series.

No problem?

Well, yes, they actually want "a male to female pre-op transsexual" to play the leading role. I'm confused.

Are they going to have a genital check at the casting to make sure someone is pre-op?

The plot sounds trite and boring. Yawn.

"Meet Chloe, a contract killer with a big secret."

It's not the size of the secret that matters, only what you do with it.
