| Nicole Maines suits up as TV's first transgender hero Dreamer in dazzling Supergirl first look clickable text Sad that the "forward thinkers" in Hollywood think that this is where we need to go. This is for our kids? I don't think so. I think I'm done with the CW and their programming. |

| I think it is just the latest ratings hot button issue I can’t wait for super dog, super cat, super horse, super monkey. And the rest. Then Supergirl will really be rolling |

| The best show on TV that integrates all things "progressive" and still manages to tell an intriguing, cohesive story that delivers season after season is The Magicians on SyFy. | ||

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

| They need to make the show realistic if they are going to feature a transgender character. He/She needs to sit around in straight bars preying on unsuspecting straight guys at closing time. There needs to be scenes of drunk college guys going off in a cab with them and 15 minutes later the cab needs to be circling back to the bar with the college guy cursing and kicking He/She out of the cab. In all honesty, that's what I witnessed in the real world. I consider it a predatory lifestyle based upon deception. I'm not sure why it qualifies for equal protections as hetero or same sex relationships. I've seen no justification other than some millennial mindset and sense of entitlement. | ||

| Shrug. Don't watch the show, but nothing about this bothers me. Some people are transgender. Presumably, in a world with several thousand superheroes, a few of them would be too. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by antoniofett This is a valid point. DC's track record ...film & television... has been hit and miss for many years. The success or failure of a TV series is usually determined by audience share and advertiser support, not because of themes that are a weather vane for cultural change. As for content, Super-girl is apparently rated "PG" (parental guidance). It's doubtful the network would raise the recommended audience to "TV-14" simply due to the inclusion of a transgender character. Of course that would be a judgment call for the show's producers based on how the character's sexuality is portrayed and/or public perception. Personally, I think the criticism is much ado about nothing, but in all honesty I haven't been watching the show. . |

| @GAC wow.... DC now Marvel... So if your mentally screwed by being confused as to what sex you are (even though you are either born male or female) and one goes against nature, you too can become famous! That is what this is teaching today's youth. And if you say something about it because you have morals & feel that this isn't a subject that should be taught to children, you're labeled sexist, racist, or whatever... It's ok for them to shove it down your throats, but don't say nothing bad about it! |

| When is CW going to include bestiality? A certain segment of society is putting peanut butter on their private parts or seeking out a horse. A what point is something abnormal? I'd honestly like to know. I'm very tolerant. I worked with two different highly defensive and confrontational lesbians over different spans of time. One girl was grouchy to everyone except me. If she was having a bad day, she came to me so she could get a laugh. Another girl was defensive and took a list of people to HR because they said very benign things that offended her. On her last day, she gave me a very sincere compliment about being good to work with. I don't condone their lifestyle, but I respected her right to make that choice. The issue about CW has nothing to do with tolerance. It's entirely to do with shoving the agenda in my face. I don't want to watch the sport of skiing on TV. I definitely do not want to watch skiing segments in every other episode of a CW show. I think it's illogical to like a sport that requires you to dress like an Eskimo and hangout in the cold weather. People have a right to make that choice. I'm still not going to watch skiing on TV. I don't hate people for wanting alternative lifestyles. I just have no desire to watch it every week. In their attempts to reach out to a small segment of the population (transgender), they are potentially alienating themselves from their core audience. That's their choice, but it's stupid in my opinion if their goal is to have high ratings. It's like dropping Britney Spears music into a hard rock radio station's playlist. I don't want to hear it. I'll watch something else or nothing. |
