LOS ANGELES — On Saturday at Comic-Con came news that Nicole Maines would be making history on the fourth season of CW's "Supergirl," becoming the first ever trans superhero on television.


quote:

"We can be whoever we want, we can do whatever we want, we can be superheroes, because in many ways we are," adding, "We've had trans representation in television for a while but it hasn't been the right representation."


quote:

The fourth season of "Supergirl" returns Oct. 14 on the CW.

Networks still bother to run tv shows?

So, boys are better at being supergirls than girls.


Another point for the patriarchy.

I'm wondering how long it's going to be before a white male claims to identify as a black female to fill some diversity requirement. It will be glorious. The left always eats their own

I had a gender ambiguous high school kid serve me tonight and I couldn’t tell if the original sex was boy or girl. They didn’t have surgery or anything, but I just couldn’t tell what they were.

My dad always told me to tell people whose gender was difficult to discern "declare yourself"

Different times I guess

ESPN and Hollywood agree with you. Most do not.

I work, pay taxes, pay my bills, and make sure my family has plenty. Does this make me a super-hero?

A man deciding to wear a dress does not a super-hero make.
