The other thread expired, so I've started this one.
I downloaded the episode last week by pure chance. I was downloading other TV shows like Alias and Charmed, and there was one episode of House there and I'd heard good things. So I clicked download. Watched the episode. I'm not sure how to react to it. I was angry - and shocked, but in a sense, I expected some kind of garbage in detailing the nature of the condition. After all, I've seen an episode of ER that wholly misrepresents a girl with an intersex condition. But, I have to say....I sat for about 10 minutes in utter disbelief afterwards that the writers got away with putting those words into the characters mouth. However, I don't think I've been personally affected by it in any long-term damaging way, although I can truly understand how some would be. I think that says something about how I have come to terms with my own life, even though I have a long way to go. So, I'm pleased with myself for not taking it to heart and looking at it from a distance. I think it comes from a lack of understanding - and maybe some good can come from it in the form of debate. It would've been nice if they'd got it right though.
