The Power is a great feminist novel from a few years ago. I was looking forward to the tv series and I am enjoying it so far. Disappointed to see the author was apparently pressurised to add a trans woman to a story about teenage girls getting super powers.

I just hope that the transwoman doesn't have the titular power - because otherwise the entire premise of the book / adaptation fails if men just need to say the magic words...!

There are so many token transwomen in movies and TV these days. Single Drunk Female is another example.
