Yay! Someone else who's been watching it!

Donna really comes off as a confident and outstanding person, imo. It seems that she's also having a positive influence on Drew and making her more confident in herself when she goes out in public. I couldn't believe those bridal shop employers saying what they did about her during the interview. I guess that's the Canadian part of me that expects that most people at least try to hide their prejudicial behaviour on national television, lol.

Then again, as much as a lot of people commenting on the show were outraged by these women who treated Drew that way, it's good that the show included their opinions. If they are going to show an accurate representation, then it's important that they demonstrate these challenges and popular opinions/behaviours that trans people have to face every day.
