REMEMBER HER <3 Seriously, people. Xena did an episode about a transgender beauty contestant in 1997. And the message was pretty explicitly ‘it’s awesome that she gets this chance to live her real identity and it sucks that she has to keep it hidden.’ If you are not at least to this level by now you have zero excuse. It’s genuinely depressing how BACKWARDS so many shows are today compared to this amazing show that was made back in the 90′s Like Things are meant to move FORWARDS with time people and yet it feels like we’ve barely progressed at all @kinkyfenris Awww, I love this. -- source link
