Dammit, I had a lot written, and it got eaten up. Bullet points this time, then.
"Nip/Tuck" had a transsexual regular guest last season, in Famke Jannsen's character. I don't really watch it, but John Hensley, who I enjoyed watching on "Witchblade", plays the son of the main characters. All three of them. It's complicated.
I usually watch "Lost", but I missed it tonight because of school stuff. Calling AL tranny just because ickle Jamesy gets his feelings and his self hurt by a woman isn't all that nice... maybe they should just be grateful he got back to shore at all. That said, MR's character may be trans, but the casting agents could have just as easily cast a trans actor (actress?) as AL. Roderiguez usually gets cast as tough, powerful women (female boxer, street racer, mother cop), so why are they surprised that's how AL turned out?
