I like a bit of escapist medical drama, so I have been watching Grey’s on Prime for the last few months. (Didn’t see it first time around, life and all that).
Up to season 14 now, a bunch of new interns have arrived, and it turns out one of them is a transman. It was quite well done, and I thought to myself how nice it was that a) it was a male to female trans person for a change and b) that there was no big song and dance about it.
So I reach episode 12, and lo and behold a transwoman has arrived in the storyline. Ten minutes into the episode and I have already heard the words/phrases ‘cis’ ‘woke’ cisgender’ and that old favourite ‘help their bodies match their souls’, along with ‘41% of trans attempt suicide’.
I think I may need to skip this episode.......
