Thank you, Sasha! I loved this powerful and provocative opening episode. I really like the idea of shifting the discourse around gender by framing it as a metaphor.
I was especially struck by the parent who stated: “ These folks deserve to be focusing on their academics and hanging out with their friends and making memories with their families and planning out a safe and happy future.” Well, yes, though she’s missing out on the safe part. Instead they are fixated on getting body parts removed and getting medically-induced endocrine disorders.
