Zarf Is Must See TV

Posted Mar 9th 2007 3:09PM by TMZ Staff

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.

76. For all of you uneducated people out there who are "against this" and calling them names, its b/c of you why this issue is kept under the rug and why there's not a bigger voice for them. Go watch Soldiers Girl and go watch Boys Dont Cry! When you see what happens when your ignorance attacks them, maybe ... just maybe you will change your heart! Not only do you hurt them, you hurt the people who LOVE them! EVERYONE is human! We may or may not agree with them. WHO CARES! Let them live there life! Let me tell you this, this country use to be racist towards color, so why go back in time and repeat things?! That doesnt make any sense! For the person complaining about the guys becoming girls ... the only thing that seperates them from us is that THEY DONT HAVE A PERIOD! Stop hating on them, you would gladly give up that thing if you could!

78. It's amazing how many uneducated bigots are posting on this site. Particularly amusing was the post about gays 'not building this country'. Now.......how do you know this? Are you so ignorant to think that there were no gays back then?

Obviously, AMC is TRYING to educate some of you about transgenders but when you have a 'pea' for a brain to begin with.....well, it's hard.

79. # 78 > Are you delusional? Just because a few people think chopping your meat off is crazy does not by any stretch of the imagination mean that we are uneducated or a bigot! It just means that we think those who chose to have their penis removed are crazy! Being a man without a penis does not make you a woman! It makes you a confused, dysfunctional man with a crater between you legs! You can insult people all you want who don't agree or are not willing to accept the idea of a man cutting his wanker off to fulfill their desires of womanhood but at the end of the day we are the ones who are more educated. We at least know it's not natural, it's self mutilation because they don't like who they are. Next you'll be saying beastiallity should be accepted, after all it's just a choice and shouldn't we respect others choices?>>>> How about incest? Should we respect those choices as well? Where do we draw the line?

82. I am against gay marriages..and will always be..I will protest it if they try to make it a law here..There are certain things that i am fine with..and some things I am not..I do watch AMC..and at first I was disgusted with the Zarf/Zoe thing...then I started to care about Zoe....but this is the thing...I do see gay people as human beings..I always have..but there will always be things that I am against...I don't agree with gay marriages..I mean where do values fit in..if gay people are being allowed to be married in God's house..I feel that they should just live together and thats it...I'm sorry if many of you will disagree

87. Loveyourmeat needs to step away from the puter and enroll in a college course; at the very least promise never to procreate . Pity his family people.

A bigot is a bigot no matter who much one may protest.

89. What a freak show, yuck. Oh, I forgot it is all about DIVERSITY. Please give me a freaking break, it is about who the writers are and their agenda.

90. What the hell does God have to do with any of this? If anything God created people to be free to do and be whatever they want.as long as it doesnt hurt anybody. This country is a democracy by the way. If a republican President wasnt in office we probably wouldnt in a useless war and 911 probably would not have happened. #61, you must be one of those sick religious freaks.
