Talk about the depths of cynicism. They will spin it as a brave addition to the cast and breaking barriers and such nonsense...
All of that “breaking barriers” stuff has already been done by the liberal fantasy story line of “The Bold and the Beautiful” over the past 6 months. One of the story lines had a male surgically transformed into a woman that was so beautiful that s/he became the top model of a fashion company, had sex with the CEO, and finally married him. S/he was outed by a ruthless magazine, but the entire fashion world supported him/her.
This was beamed into how many soap opera loving skulls full of mush?
There are consequences for losing the culture war.
