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.)
