Fluff, but decent Fluff.

Hey, an article that doesn't set my blood boiling!

I haven't seen the show, so I'm just commenting on the article.
Cayne stars as Carmelita in ABC’s new Wednesday night drama, “Dirty Sexy Money,” a transgender character who’s having an affair with Patrick Darling (Billy Baldwin) the oldest son of the Darling clan, who also happens to be a New York Attorney General who’s running for the U.S. Senate.

Candis is transgender herself. Her role is considered a breakthrough for the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community.

A recurring "transgender" character, played by an actual trans woman, on a network TV show, is pretty fricking cool.

Her on-screen partner, Billy Baldwin, has apparently been educated:

“I think it’s really interesting the whole journey you’ve gone through and how you must have had some doubts and fears and insecurities and second guessing. I remember one person saying, ‘Well it’s probably because she’s very conflicted and confused and uncertain and insecure.’ And I said, ‘No, quite frankly, it’s completely the opposite. She was completely certain that she was a woman and she was completely certain that this is what she had to do.’ It was absolutely essential for her to do this.”
I should remember to not confuse him for his crazy brother Stephen.

Now I just have to actually watch the show. (Because that guy from Sportsnight is in it.)
