For all those who say that you’re not trans if you’ve ever doubted transition.
Wow, just saw Crossing Jordan season 1 episode 6 “believers”. I swear in this shows I’m watching lately I’m running into transsexuals everywhere. Most of the time I don’t like it because of the blatant disrespect. In CJ there’s a trans woman (Denise) part way through transition. I feel like they did a much better job of addressing the trans issue and bringing opposing views to the forefront. They also did a much better job than other shows with the actor’s hair. No obvious wig or prostitute makeup or slutty fluffy clothing. She was dressed sensibly and looked nice.
Overall I think it was done tastefully and I was incredibly impressed by some of the lines. They didn’t just “flash a tranny” for shock factor, they took the time to dive into it and struggle with the morality of transition, offering views from both sides. The view from a Jewish Rabi almost makes me want to become Jewish. I was really impressed. So what happened?
*spoiler alert* If you want to watch the episode find it and watch it now cause if you read further you’re gonna get the whole nine yards on Denise and Macy.
