As a Transgender Male who worked hard threwout the years as a female to finaly rize to the pinicle of my profession as a Las Vegas executive at Aria Resort & Casino, this show was not funny and was in no way a fair portrayal of Transgender and transexual people such as myself. Some of us our not as lucky as myself to have the support of there bosses and a diversty program to prevent workplace discrimination against us transexuals or transgender individuals. Thank you MGM Mirage for your continued support to the gay community.

Men dressing as women (& visa versa) has been a staple of comedy for, let’s see now, at least 3,000 years. Me thinks GLADD has been a bit too quick off the mark on this one. Let’s see the show first before we condemn. It could actually be good, both as comedy and exploring gender roles. Though from the few bits I’ve seen my guess it’ll die a quick death. Best not give it unwarranted publicity.

I’m offended by the fact that Hollywood can’t make str8 men look more like women. It’s been a long time since “Bosom Buddies” and even longer since “Tootsie.” These bitches is ugly as fuck. If I were a woman I’d be offended by these dogs as well. No offense to dogs.

We live in a world where we have “Rupaul’s Drag Race,” “Andrej Pejic.” We all know men can look amazing in womens things.

is it just me or is GLAAD a bit too touchy?
I will agree with Carl on the girl-dress-as-a-guy-to-get-a-job remark. I betcha’ there wouldn’t be this much of a stir.

I think, and please don’t get me wrong, that someone should pull that potato chip outta GLAAD’s behind (no pun intended). They’re defending us alright and we love them for that, but they are starting to remind me of conspiracy theorists here.

I agree it has come along way in the last 25 years. Would the same people be offended if was a girl acting like a guy to get a job? We would probably watch just to see what happens next.

But Carl, don’t you think that society and issues regarding transgendered/transidentified people has changed dramatically in 25 years since that show first debuted? You have to put that into perspective as well.

What’s the big deal it’s a remake of the old tv show with Tom hanks the only diffrence is its in the work place and not a university dorm room. Stop complaining and find a real issue to protest.

how about stating the obvious this show looks awful and unfunny . this premise has always been stupid and should be banned . but HOLLYWEORD SEEMS to find this hilarious for some reason . then again they think allowing studio heads and prominent people sexually abuse others perfectly is ok too. ya see if all these so called upstanding rightous stars wouls start naming names all this B S would stop !
