Yeah. The character is named Trevor and she’s basically lgbtumblr in human form, which is annoying already. She pressures Ian (the redhead, a main character) to let her top and Ian doesn’t want to. Ian is a top. They show his relationships often in the show and he is always a top. Trevor is pre op, and before Ian meets the character he tries to have sex with a woman and is entirely turned off and says he’s definitely not into it. But trevor pushes and makes him feel like he’s being closed minded and stuff like that until he gives in. And instead of showing what would’ve realistically happened- Ian enjoys it and continues to bottom for her (they may do both I can’t remember I try to block it out lol).

There’s also that scene that looks like a TRA PSA where all of Trevor’s (mostly straight if I recall) friends have to “educate” Ian about there random ass identities. I can’t tell if the show is serious, pandering, or making fun of them.

Why it is never straight man, who started dating with pre-op TW and TW got him from behind and he enjoyed it?

It is always gays or lesbians, who are ending up with TW or TM.

I think because trans people know that straight people aren't buying anything they're selling, but LGB people are expected to be 'tolerant' of this nonsense because we 'know what it's like' or some shit.

Or because if they will do that to white straight men, their movement will end up really soon, so they are bullying ones who are weaker than them.

If you say to straight men/women "you have do date trans people or else you're kicked out of LGBT spaces", they'll say "fine, bye".

If you say the same to gay men/lesbian women, there are chances they'll accept the idea (or at least say they accept it) out of fear of losing some of the few spaces they have.

It works with LGB because they got into our spaces, our events, our circles, and then started kicking us out.

Well, "or you will be fired from job and banned from social media" can work for straight people too.

It is more of a threat to gays because we literally can't have anything without the T leeching off of us like the parasites they are.

It is, but I mean in general, why all "T allies" in media, who are not T themselves - are either transing gays or making homosexual people date T of opposite sex? For the same reason that in Iran? Good road going, Stonewall.

So they can be just as homophobic as fundamentalist Christians without actually being one and while still maintaining the illusion of progressiveness.

Even if it wasn't super shitty to portray a character who only wants to top as giving in to a demand to do something he's not comfortable with, dildoes and strapons are still way different from a real dick. I'm verse but prefer to bottom, and I wouldn't be satisfied with just toys, honestly.

I hope that in the near future people see how wrong this stuff was and call it out. I wonder how this got the ok to be made and aired, even today. It seems surreal.

Also does anyone know if the actors are actually gay, trans, etc? Just curious is all - I have no problem with straight people playing gay characters, but I do wonder if that plays a part in this... thing existing.

I don’t know if the actor who plays Ian is really gay or not, but the actor playing the transman is really a tif
