I have no idea what that show is, but I agree that "representation" like that, that erases the inevitable struggles that come with life as a trans person, feel so much worse than even no representation. It just shows that the creators either have zero concept of what it's actually like to be trans, or they think the audience can't handle the reality of our lives.
I think they hand waved it because Elliot transitioned in real life during a break (COVID or writers strike).
So for the character it was like poof, you're a boy and everyone is cool with it.
I think it was lazy cis writing. Inclusive of the actors needs but not really inclusive of trans lived experiences outside of that.
I like Elliot Paige. And I think him transitioning and continuing in the role does help normalize our existence. But yeah, the narrative the writers used wasn't believable.
I think it's not allowed to have anything less than shiny perfect liberal-compatible experiences of being trans on TV, even if the TV show is in a stream. Sucks, fuck em.
