Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer), 2018-12-11:

"Supergirl" now has a transgender character just to be "woke"

Jon Cryer (@MrJonCryer), 2018-12-11:

You actually don't need a reason to have a transgender character on your TV show.

Trans people should be on your show simply because trans people exist.

You have to wonder how a person can be so miserable that they spend precious time from their lives bitching about transgender people on TV.

The sad thing is, a superhero or other SF/F context offers so many possibilities for exploring the various themes involved....

Ahem, taking the opportunity to plug my sister's podcast on Supergirl, where they talk about the relationships (e.g., women friendships) and politics (and bad journalism) as well as the bam-pow stuff: https://www.theincomparable.com/teevee/

I am so tired of people who nastily dismiss as "PC" the depiction of anyone other than the seen-as-ordinary cis-ablebodied-vaguely-Christian-straight-white-guy who needs so many adjectives to describe him he's clearly a very small segment of humanity..

Also, I've been thinking about this wrt. my writing, which will never be famous but might as well include as many people as I can because people exist.
