Beginning on Thursday, ABC's All My Children will feature a transgender character named Zarf who is planning a sex-change operation. The Associated Press reports that although there have been a handful of post-surgical transgender characters who have appeared on TV shows, this is a first for a daytime drama. The gay-rights group GLAAD said some transgenders consulted on the storyline. GLAAD spokesman Damon Romine called the AMC decision "groundbreaking and breakthrough television."
Shouldn't that name start with a B?

Fuel for the backlash. It's all wonderful fuel.
Newton Minow was right.
I bet it bombs...
and the character is hit by a truck...
or maybe, beaten up, hung on a fence and dies from the injuries.
Either way, I give the character a month.
Does this mean I can screw myself or do I have to still go to Comp USA to get screwed?
The character is based on Jeffrey Dahmer and there will be Dinner at Alfie's. Let me guess, the deviance marketers will portray Barf as a very intelligent, honest, sincere, and sensitive eunich who will lead the charge against evil bigots.
A man becomes a woman to become a lesbian?
Something like that. Isn't it a wonderful world we live in? /s
And when is my beautiful Greenlee coming back?
Man, don't start me lying.
Television is a vast wasteland.
Good point.
A freeper named Zarf in a story about Zarf. I love it!
Too confusing!
Imagine the fights he/she will have with itself.
