race in America, transphobia 

@PaulFerence it's not that the Mackey scene is playing us for laughs. It feels very accurate to be frozen in mute terror while an authority figure tries to reconcile who they thought you were with who you are. And I did appreciate that your parents are on your side. I just suspect this will be an ultimately shallow trans representation written for a cis audience, and similarly a shallow PoC representation for a white audience. I'd genuinely love to be wrong though
