Yeah... And I don't share Donna's view on being trans either. I think it sucks to be trans. Now if the world accepted us that'd be a different story. :/

It saddens me whenever a trans person states the obvious, that is, how difficult it is to be trans in an unaccepting world. Know that at least in this one tiny little corner of the world -- my life -- acceptance is unconditional!

Gods, it infuriated me.

I'm kinda between two chairs on that matter. On some days I'm quite happy with my kinda schizophrenic self but on others there is nothing that I want more than being born a woman :/

I'm not really infuriated, just sad of what TV is nowadays?

Just their focus on the mtf side of things on the extremes of highly campy vs really poorly passing, with only Donna really representative of the majority of younger trans girls I've encountered, and Karen of the older, late-transitioning women. I wanted Drew to just shut up, she was so annoying, and just made me think of the ultra-camp gay male drag queens I know. Sarah I feel bad for, since she seemed to at some tims be feeling the same way I did. Especially about the club they went to in the last episode. But really, going on something like this on TV and geared towards what gets viewers is the last thing she should have done if she wanted not to feel uncomfortable.

The guys, well, they seemed much more normal. Good on them. Though I can't really empathise in the same way.

And to be fair, if you read Max's blog, he's a bit of a dick.
