since those bottom ones are hard to read:
House would make fun of you for like 10 minutes. Then help you transition. Then after you transition he says your dress makes you look fat.
While calling you fat he realizes his current patient has sarcoidosis and leaves without a word
Fr I am curious now how it would actually be handled on house. I could see maybe an episode where hormone therapy being a red herring and all the debates the staff have. House with poor bedside manner with trans issues without being transphobic, Watson and Cameron being super sweet to overcompensate. Chase is insensitive but accepting, he laughs and jokes around with stuff in the patient’s house. Foreman is tolerant but secretly uncomfortable. Cuddy yells at house.
Might be a little high… lol
I could see it being something all the other doctors had written off as trans broken arm syndrome except for house. He would still be an ass about her being trans while accepting thats not whats wrong with her.
edit-at the end of the episode he calls her a stupid bitch and thats his way of accepting her gender identity
Oh no, House always has to screw it up 3 times before getting it right. And it’s never a reasonable thing, you’d get treated for lupus for some reason.
Also House was super shitty to an intersex patient including doing a massive amount of misgendering, so I doubt he’d be better about a trans person.
Yeeeah… I vaguely remember that. Granted, he was never meant to be a role model, he’s a drug addict (although that doesn’t stop certain men from thinking he’s a badass to emulate?).
So I guess the real episode would go: one of the cool interns makes the recommendation when brainstorming around a white board, he shoots them down, and then assigns all manner of psych drugs that kinda work until the intern does the treatment themselves and get canned for it (but two seasons later we see they’re a doctor doing a great job).
Was Sherlock on the BBC transphobic? It’s been a while but I don’t remember that.
I think it’s a general comment on how rude that Sherlock was and how the BBC is transphobic by default.
I think that Sherlock, in character, would just insult your intelligence regardless of gender issues.
I’m fairly certain Sherlock Holmes would also have offered you some cocaine
He’d be a huge asshole about it too.
“Cocaine?”
“Yeah sure.”
“Oh no you misunderstood. I wasn’t offering, I was just asking if you had your own because I’m going to do all of mine right now.”
Jessica Jones calls you an idiot for not realising you’re trans, but she does it out of earshot and then offers you some beer from the bottle she’s drinking out of.
Sam and Max immediately act like you’re trans. There is no realization, just an off-handed quip. Sam takes one of your lightbulbs, and the world becomes notably worse less than a day later.

Mike Hammer was immensely popular for years. “My Gun Is Quick” and “I, the Jury” were full of anti-gay slurs.
Currently there are Pride Month flags flying from Mickey Spillane’s bar in NYC.
Hammer is a no-holds-barred private investigator whose love for his secretary Velda is outweighed only by his willingness to kill a killer.
When the blurb writer from the back of the books realizes he can just edit directly to Wikipedia lmao
The Washington Times obituary of Spillane said of Hammer, “In a manner similar to Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry, Hammer was a cynical loner contemptuous of the ‘tedious process’ of the legal system, choosing instead to enforce the law on his own terms.”
Christ, what vicious condemnation.
Jenny Nicholson reviewed the book Trigger Warning. In the last dozen pages, some Navy Seal Delta Force Army Ranger suddenly appears and offers the alleged protagonist a job as a “one-man strike team,” roaming the country and “righting wrongs.” Like all the three-letter agencies got together to make some witness-protection mooks into fascist vigilantes. Every single time, it is shocking to remember that this power fantasy is some assholes’ actual moral belief system. These are problems they really believe exists - these are solutions they desperately want to see.
Oh I just watched an episode of fuckin Columbo where the titular detective encouraged a beat cop to make an illegal search, and if it was a problem he would “get a warrant later.”
And that’s every single cop show. That’s so much scarier to me. That the common, every day, “likeable” “good guy” cop characters are constantly violating suspects’ rights, and it’s always presented as justified.
It’s so common and consistent that I think a lot of people just think of it as being part of a cop’s job, and that “rights” are in opposition to justice rather than a part of it. Including a lot of cops. It’s really fucked.
