Trans Humor

 BBC seeks comedy scripts with positive portrayals of transgender people.  This makes me happy.  Positive portrayals of marginalized groups can do a lot to smooth over rough spots in culture.

Sadly, I wouldn't trust the BBC further than I could throw them on this one- they have form on asking this sort of thing, lying and then taking the pi55!

Attacking the trans community is very much flavour of the month atm in the UK.

Another trans show making us into a comedy? Oh, how very original!

Sigh :o(

The link isn't working, which is a shame, because this is something I definitely want to see more of and spread around.

Alas!

Not a glitch this time; the original post is gone.

Here's the relevant page on the BBC's website: Exciting new talent search for TV comedy scripts featuring transgender characters and/or themes.
