It's funny that these shows think they are being so progressive but its a 75 year step backwards to reaffirm the gender roles bullshit.

Even worse, I looked up the young actress playing this character on Google and saw that she has a male name and identifies as trans. She's 15 years old. She started playing this character when she was 12 or 13, and now she's transgender, too.

The scriptwriters are often a bit ignorant and let themselves be lead by the actors. That happened in Sabrina too. The actress came out as trans so they made the character trans. A couple of years later and she's now IDing as non binary. This is why teenagers don't write good scripts or novels about teenagers. They are always completely sure they are right in the moment ... then change.

Ugh then there was a whole storyline about Sabrina maybe making the character an ACTUAL boy...it was so awful.
