All My Children's Trans Action

QuoteAll My Children is still following through with its Zarf/Zoe storyline. And while Zoe (as she's known now, and played to the hilt by actor Jeffrey Carlson) has been caught up in all the usual soap opera drama (coming out, accused of murder, arrested, beaten in a park, obsessively in love with Bianca, the town's beloved lesbian) the show seems committed to fully exploring Zoe's journey as a trans person. On March 9th, the show will feature an episode wherein actual real-life transgender actors and actresses will play themselves in a scene in which Zoe attends a support group for trans people, dealing with transitioning and telling their own stories.

participating in the episode is writer and Colby College professor Jennifer Finney Boylan (she's been on Oprah and Larry King), who's penned the book, She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders, a wise and funny account of her own transition.
