I like that FG plays in the realm of the absurdist, often, and I've read your statements regarding the show you did on Transgender people, and I can understand to some extent where you are coming from, which is actually not a very good place to be coming from, but you literally aren't aware of that so I'm only going to hold it against you a little bit.

Now, I'm actually pretty fair, so let me start with the nicer parts first.  The portrayal, given the nature of the show, and the time frame that you had to work with (and the general nature of the money grubbing sons of bitches who run FOX networks),  is not that bad.  There's several problems with it, of course, but it is pretty obvious to me — someone who spends time explaining stuff to people who usually think a lot like you do but in a friendlier and less abrasive manner than I'm doing so now — that you did put some thought into it and you tried to do what you genuinely believed was a decent job of makng a character who was sympathetic, and you even reinforced the whole "family should accept us" thing.
