The story behind Roseanne's grandson who dresses like a girl (barf alert)
Entertainment Weekly ^ | 1/5/2018 | Lynette Rice

In one of the more enlightened updates to Roseanne, Darlene’s son Mark (Ames McNamara) likes to dress up in girl’s clothing. But it would be wrong to assume the 9-year-old character is transitioning or is gay. We asked executive producer Sara Gilbert (Darlene) to explain why she created the role of Mark and what fans can expect of his story arc when the reunion begins its nine-episode run March 27 on ABC.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Does Mark see himself as a girl?

SARA GILBERT: He doesn’t. That’s something that got out in the press that’s not true. He’s not a transgender character. He’s a little boy. He’s based on a few kids in my life that are boys who dress in more traditionally feminine clothing. He’s too young to be gay and he doesn’t identify as transgender, but he just likes wearing that kind of clothing and that’s where he is at this point in his life.

How much do you address his desire to wear girl’s clothing?

There is an episode that addresses it. He dresses that way throughout the show, but there’s one episode that focuses on it more heavily. We did a lot of research because we wanted to make sure and do it properly. This character is not transgender.

What made you want to create this character?

It represents the world. This is a show that’s always been able to represent the world and talk about it without being so issue-heavy. We can do it through the dynamics of the family. I know kids like that and it seemed like a great character. One kid in particular that I know is so sweet, funny, charming, and great. In a way the character— that’s one element of the character that he dresses that way, but he’s also based

Sara Gilbert with her "wife", who she "had a baby with", wants to enlighten you, and your kids, through her TV show.

That ‘bag of clothes’ is the WIFE? I would have thought opposite.

Yes that’s what’s going on here. They are force feeding homosexuality/cross dressing/budding transsexual behavior as somehow normal.

Perhaps Hollywood has always done this, pushing faddish or liberal behavior, however, it does seem that they are going over the top in recent years.

Sara Gilbert looks like Roy Orbison.

Also, this guarantees there will only be 6 episodes, TOPS.

“Some people don’t like homosexuals. They think it’s abnormal.”
“OK.”
“Some people don’t like transexuals. They think it’s abnormal.”
“OK.”
“We want you to be edgy. But not objectionable. What can you give us?”
“How about a boy who just dresses like a girl?”
“But won’t people think that’s abnormal too?”
“We will make them believe it’s normal.”
“OK”.

Another transparent attempt to normalize degeneracy.

Reminds me of my junior high years living in suburbia. There was one kid, Eddie Stokes, who was the son of the town’s undertaker. My immediate reaction to Eddie was that he pegged my creep~o~meter. He was always a little too intense, with eyes that stared right through you.

I remember the one and only time he invited me to “camp out”, which was his code-speak for a sleepover at his residence - which also housed the funeral homes. Eddie would lure the naive and curious into compromising situations and then prey upon them. The prevailing libertarian feeling at the time was “Eddie is just an oddball - leave him alone”. I’ve seen this go along to get along attitude many times in my life and I still don’t understand it. It is the very thing that allows monsters to live among us (and prey upon us).

The truth was (is) that Eddie was a voracious sexual predator who assaulted dozens of victims.

The curious can verify my story here: http://articles.latimes.com/2004/aug/24/local/me-stokes24

People who are confused about their own sexuality should not be allowed to fake-breed.
