That fucking hospital scene. "I don't want a blue gown, go and find me a pink one", fucking hell. Makes the character look utterly insufferable at the best of times... but to air that during a pandemic when (at least in the UK) shortage of PPE for hospital staff has a major issue comes off as utterly crass.

That's a really good point about PPE. It also just struck me as wild that blue "triggered" the character so much... Like all adult/adolescent/child hospital gowns in the US are a baby blue. The only thing I know of where they give color coded gowns is to newborns (and fun fact, I am a guy but I was put in pink when I was born because they were out of blue clothing, and guess what, only my [insane] grandmother gave a shit, the rest of my conservative family was understanding and its now a funny story) Like caring so much about clothing color as it relates to gender is soooo gender essentialist...

Yeah definitely. How fragile do you have to be in your perception of yourself as a girl that a fucking hospital gown bothers you? I can't see a real girl minding, even a very girly one.

Frankly, I think guys would have more of a problem with the blue hospital gowns, cause they "look like dresses." The irony...
