That would be great. But I am immediately suspicious, because this is mainstream for the masses TV, that the kiss the character shares with a lesbian is going to be used in weird ways that conflate sexual orientation and gender identity, and not responsibly framed. I am not sure of this kiss with a lesbian as a vehicle but I am not going to criticize anymore because it hasn't even aired!

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave ;) I should know, I've watched AMC since 1979, when I was negative 13 years old. :) Femmester, from my understanding, the kiss between Bianca and Zarf is going to be the vehicle that brings the storyline to light. I don't think they're going to be a long term couple on the show. Jami, be forewarned, Pine Valley is like The Hotel California. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave ;)

So this character will be a trans woman who is a lesbian? Nothing against portrayals of lesbian trans woman in the media (underrepresented representation!) but I just can't help thinking that once again gender identity and sexual orientation are being collapsed as one and the same. Hopefully I will be proven wrong. OK, maybe I am being a big cynic but are they going to reinforce that trans = gay???? So this character will be a trans woman who is a lesbian?
