maninsoma Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Certainly not the first trans character on TV. Maybe one can stretch the qualifications to make that true: First regular character on a series who initially presents as the gender conforming to their sex at birth who subsequently transitions. I'm not even sure if that's true, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvwnsd Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 His character (Zarf, who transitions to Zoe) is the first trans character on daytime television, according to the Los Angeles Times. That nuance was missing from the early reports about his death. marylander1940 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
