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.

136. I don't know anything about this show nor do I want to. Trans have no place in this world especially on TV. Man to woman, woman to man, when these people change over its not human, its more like a creature.These people need help,and all of you people that watch this garbage are supporting them.I can only conclude that people that support this type of broadcasting are some kind of creatures themselves..

138. Look AMC is a great show, soaps are thought to be overly dramatic trash. but they aren't and never were and never will be. Now the writing is bad becuase head writer (fortunatly fired) wrote bad storylines, but this show is a wonderful, and I aplaud the Trasgender s/l, I hated the serial killer s/l so stupid and annoying. It wasn't even a tiny bit scary. I hated every minute of that storyline and I hope they never do another one like it ever again!

139. #57 you are DISGUSTING! You REALLY think with how society is today that people would go off and choose a lifestyle that would make it so they would have to live in constant fear and suffer torture at the hands of the cruelest creatures on earth: people! Not all people are cruel but ALOT of them LIVE off hate and LIVE to cause other's misery and woe. From what I've seen, IMHO. I would NEVER choose to have to live like that, and I know no one would CHOOSE that kind of life of misery, not being accepted and all, so I believe that people are BORN this way, and I support these lifestyles. It's not like it's killing anyone, god fucking dammit!

140. Barb, your children, will be nothing but hateful. I hope I never have the unfortunate event of running into YOU, your husband, or either one of your children. I know your kind you live on hate and spit hate constantly, you really think Zarf is going to leave an impression on your children? Maybe it's better you let them understand who someone transgendered is and how they feel before you release them out into the world to make people like that feel more miserable. It's people with a firey hate like yours and a lot of others here that push a gay man, a lesbain, or someone trangendered to commit suicide...but then again you'd LOVE that now wouldn't you? TAKE THAT YOU SCUM SUCKING ROAD WHORE!

143. I have stopped watch AMC. I have watched since Erica was a teenager, but this story line...can't believe it!!!! I am truly blown away that AMC would allow such a character to exist. But as they say...if you don't like it, turn the channel. I did.
