Zarf Is Must See TV

Housewives across the country got a little lesson in transgenderism on Friday's episode of "All My Children."

Zarf
The soap furthered the storyline of transgendered lesbian character Zarf/Zoe's quest to transition from male to female. On today's educational and partially unscripted episode, Zarf, played by male actor Jeffrey Carlson, ventured to a support group where he encountered trans persons, played by genuine transgendered actors in various stages of undergoing the change. Janice Dickinson must have been unavailable, but a Sandra Oh lookalike was!

For a brief moment, the ABC soap diverged from their laughable Satin Slayer storyline to expose audiences to more diverse characters in a positive light. Let's hope this noble effort doesn't turn into the serial's killer, or kill the serial.

3. Poor Jeffrey Carlson. I'm not sure if he's fuglier as a man, or as a woman. His agent really should tell him to wash his hair before appearing on camera. Yuck!!

6. can anyone me why, whenever TV puts a trannie on, they ALWAYS pick the most grotesque, over the top one on rather than an attractive trannie? i've seen pics of some of them and they don't ALL look like Zarf/Zoe.

8. As a long time fan of AMC, I have to say I really hate this story line. Transgender character -- no problem, but the constant preaching and belittling of anyone who doesn't see a transgender person as anything but the 2nd coming is on my last nerve.

12. I am sooo pleased about this story line! I have been watching AMC for a long long time... and its great that they are doing this!!! I could see the unscripted part of the "group meeting" and I was very pleased with how well that went and also the amazing performance that Freddie Luper (Zarf/Zoe?) is bringing to the ancient soap opera.
Good Job All My Children!!! This deserves an award! thanks for doing it right, correct and well done indeed!

14. It amazed me how some of you think that gays are saying how gay they are. What the hell does that even mean? Perhaps if we granted them the same rights as every other American, they would not have to victims of bigotry for being who they are. God Bless America- you are a disgrace to civil rights everywhere. Ugh. Some people have some nerve.
