And the transman character later pressures him into sex acts that he is incredibly uncomfortable with... And the audience applauds this in the name of “progress”. I loved this show and stopped watching after this.

Also- wouldn’t she totally be a “dude with a vagina”?

Um what?! They actually show that happening? That happens after the linked scene?

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.

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
