I think Anderson had a chance to take it a different direction, but chose to make it sensational. It happens in TV land, it's what pays the bills. I think the bigger picture is that again Trans people are under the gender microscope, and instead of understanding the experiences of one person, people are going to generalize ALL transgendered people. Did a pill make me who I am? No, but I'm not in the position to judge what her life experience is, or is not.
