The media is often criticised for presenting TGirls in an unflattering way. Usually, the presentation is of a lurid, sensationalist nature (but enough about me). So it was good to hear that the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) had made a new television comedy -Boy meets Girl- that would feature a TGirl as the lead character and portray her in a positive light. There was much to anticipate because when the BBC sets it mind to it the resulting television programmes are usually of a high standard. Could Boy Meets Girl, therefore, be the TV (pardon the pun) show that would finally make us TGirls look good.
Sadly, the answer is a resounding No. Boy meets Girl is not sensationalist or lurid or even...................remotely funny! As a comedy show, you would find more laughs at an autopsy. Even worse, the most boring character in the show is the TGirl. If I was a teenager struggling with confused gender identity and had the misfortune to watch Boy Meets Girl I would cry myself to sleep saying worried sick that the religious right were, in fact, right and that God's punishment for wearing a dress and heels would be to turn me into the most unfunny and uninteresting person imaginable. I would burn my bra not in protest but in despair
We all know that TGirls do have a sense of humour...........right???? Anyway, here's a link to me being funny.
