[@ItsLunaRegina]

@Caitlyn Wells Just because you know one or two people who are trans in no way means that you know our plight. In all honesty, I get you have good intentions, but doing things like making a snarky comment reply to a JOKE just makes the trans community look even worse and I really am tired of people who are not even trans making the entire community look like crybabies that find offense with anything and everything. Also, if you found my comment rude, then you must be one extremely fragile and sensitive person cause no rudeness was present in that comment of mine.

I had to do that. I really loved my ex girlfriend (and still do love her), but while I have depression and an eating disorder that both go on and off, she has severe depression, severe anxiety, complex PTSD, and bulimia. She thought she was healing, but she really wasn't. She was still using me as her unpaid therapist because I'm a sensitive person. And don't get me wrong, I loved helping her, but it was so extremely draining and triggering to be around her and talk to her. So I had to let it go. My anorexia has gotten worse since we broke up last week, because I'm ashamed of not being able to help her. I know there was nothing I could do. It just hurts that I couldn't help her.

Um no. Watch that episode properly. Will was helping Unique. The 'use the faculty bathroom' was his idea in the first place. If Will didn't follow Sue's deal, Unique just wouldn't get a key of her own. She could've always used Will's key. Will had literally told her that 'whenever nature calls you find me' or something like that. He was ready to escort her to the bathroom everytime. How is that not helping Unique?

Truly amazing talent. For all the problems people had with varying aspects of Glee, it was such a gift. As a Gen Xer, we would never has seen anything like this on tv, representing teenagers. People always talk about the problematic stuff, like "well we could never make this movie/show/book now" well I can't imagine anyone making Glee on network television now, not with the current atmosphere as they try and drag us back into the dark ages.

[@alejandroreyes9566]

I really hate what they did with her character. They turned a potentially iconic character into a cat fishing creepy joke

[@tayclark42]

Agreed but stuff like that happens all the time in real life its sad

[@jaydenbais3235]

I thought it gave her character more depth and you really have to think about it from her standpoint things like that are really hard to deal with

[@aecides3203]

The thing is...it's actually not uncommon. Members of the LGBT community (ESPECIALLY at that age and even more so trans people, who struggle to 'hide in plain sight') often feel like there is no place in the world where they truly fit and have been mocked, bullied, shunned and even assaulted so often that they no longer have the confidence to keep looking for that place. And then there's the internet, a place where anyone can be anything, where (in this case) with just a few clicks Unique could be treated as the woman she longed to be recognised as and experience that without fear of judgement, sympathy or rejection, probably for the first time in her life. I don't agree that the story arc made her less iconic, if anything it made her more real - it's easy to stick a character of any minority into a show and portray them as a flawless example that has to endure the ignorance and mistakes of the rest of the world, what's much harder is to create a character who shows the confusion, desperation and need to be accepted that many minorities have, including the mistakes made as a result of that. Showing her in this way highlights the damage that societal rejection can do and provides a lot of similarly lost trans people with a character that they can identify with and learn from, even when that's a more uncomfortable process than just "Be yourself!". Portraying all LGBT characters as flawless bastions of morality and self confidence is no more realistic (and barely more beneficial) than portraying them all as depraved, uncontrollable perverts which need medicating into oblivion. Similarly, Kurt is a wonderful character, but in the earlier seasons where he's still working out his place in the world, struggles to accept that Finn doesn't share his sexuality and just isn't interested and ends up hovering around him and trying to change him in what's pretty clearly an unhealthy and unwelcome crush which makes Finn, an otherwise generally accepting and supportive guy, uncomfortable with him (and could potentially start to make him uncomfortable with gay men in general, though it doesn't). Kurt later learns to accept that all Finn can offer him is friendship and moves on, with them both having learned some things and becoming better people because of it. Not to compare the two directly, but look at the portrayal of mental health issues in many shows - so often you see characters that are 'depressed' and have a story arc which involves them discovering the joy of the world and getting substantially/fully better, while making at best token references to the days they can't bring themselves to interact with the world, or the times they push people away (and succeed in doing so), let alone addressing that (even as they make valuable contributions to the world) they feel utterly worthless. Or, worse yet, the "few episodes long" cases of 'serious depression'/'trauma' where a character becomes deeply damaged and then gets better before there's a risk it might bore some people. Apologies for the very long comment, but I think the topic's important enough to warrant one.

[@aecides3203]

@@bigred2493 The actor who plays her was born male and identifies as non-binary, if that's what you mean. If you're confused about the concept of transgender people: They are a person who is biologically male/female but feels like they are the opposite gender, often strongly enough that they hate their masculine/feminine traits and can become deeply unhappy if they are not allowed to take on traits of the opposite gender. There's a lot of argument about it but at it's most simple it comes down to this: If you can give someone a fulfilling and happy life by using a different gender pronoun to the one your mind instinctively reaches for and accepting that their desire to look (and possibly transition entirely to) male/female, why bother insisting on not doing it and making them feel awful? In my opinion it's not really about agreeing or disagreeing with how they feel, it's about accepting that acknowledging how they feel hurts absolutely nobody and refusing to acknowledge it can hurt them, deeply. Hope this helps.

Mr. Schue used to irritate me with that whole “non violence” stance. Like okay my guy, but sometimes you gotta talk to people from their comprehension level for them to understand. And if that means giving an a** whoopin here and there...so be it.

[@chrissy4144]

Cherise Davidson True I think those guys did deserve an ass kicking but remember Mr. Schue is a teacher and can’t condone/encourage violence. Also Unique was right it would have made those guys target her even more and if they got their ass kicked they would probably get violent with her in the future. Violence isn’t always the answer although it’s tempting.

[@jayxfrost8987]

Except Mr. Schue is a teacher... teachers can't condone or support violence not even in the case of bullying.

[@anja6983]

Nope. They are kids. Its the parents job to do so. And they dont even need to understand, they just should ignore that person than or look over this one fact that is weird in their opinion. An old classmate of mine didnt like gay men, they didnt understood it and found it disgusting. (He said that to me because of a conversation about it) We had a gay boy in a class and he was really stereotypical gay. They never had any problem with each other, greeted another and yeah that was it. Everything was fine...

@@Scarlett_Robe The thing is, if we openly allow transgenders to go in whatever bathroom, it just makes it easier for those creepy guys to get what they want.

[@pluto5465]

Ellebelle we’re not letting “transgenders go in whatever bathroom they want” we’re letting them go in the bathroom of their gender which isnt a problem for a cisgendered person so it shouldn’t be a problem for them. if they’re a trans boy then they’re a boy, if they’re a trans girl they are a girl and they shouldn’t be treated any differently. and these changes arent going to further enable creepy men or women (people tend to forget that women can also do this type of stuff) from going into the opposite genders bathroom. if they are really that creepy and perverted then they would probably have done/ been doing it anyways.
