since those bottom ones are hard to read:
House would make fun of you for like 10 minutes. Then help you transition. Then after you transition he says your dress makes you look fat.
While calling you fat he realizes his current patient has sarcoidosis and leaves without a word
She has cancer of the fat
Fr I am curious now how it would actually be handled on house. I could see maybe an episode where hormone therapy being a red herring and all the debates the staff have. House with poor bedside manner with trans issues without being transphobic, Watson and Cameron being super sweet to overcompensate. Chase is insensitive but accepting, he laughs and jokes around with stuff in the patient’s house. Foreman is tolerant but secretly uncomfortable. Cuddy yells at house.
Might be a little high… lol
I could see it being something all the other doctors had written off as trans broken arm syndrome except for house. He would still be an ass about her being trans while accepting thats not whats wrong with her.
edit-at the end of the episode he calls her a stupid bitch and thats his way of accepting her gender identity
There was an episode with a mafia guy that was taking estrogen.
Oh no, House always has to screw it up 3 times before getting it right. And it’s never a reasonable thing, you’d get treated for lupus for some reason.
Also House was super shitty to an intersex patient including doing a massive amount of misgendering, so I doubt he’d be better about a trans person.
House would probably find a cure for gender dysphoria because in your case it was
lupusa uh, spoon of yours that contained traces of idk mercury or something. Oh how did he know about the gender dysphoria mercury spoon? You never mentioned it? Dw about it sweetheartYeeeah… I vaguely remember that. Granted, he was never meant to be a role model, he’s a drug addict (although that doesn’t stop certain men from thinking he’s a badass to emulate?).
So I guess the real episode would go: one of the cool interns makes the recommendation when brainstorming around a white board, he shoots them down, and then assigns all manner of psych drugs that kinda work until the intern does the treatment themselves and get canned for it (but two seasons later we see they’re a doctor doing a great job).
Was Sherlock on the BBC transphobic? It’s been a while but I don’t remember that.
I think it’s a general comment on how rude that Sherlock was and how the BBC is transphobic by default.
I think that Sherlock, in character, would just insult your intelligence regardless of gender issues.
… and Moffat is kind of an asshole.
Nah, just an asshole.
high functioning sociopath.
I’m fairly certain Sherlock Holmes would also have offered you some cocaine
No. Sherlock has cocaine, but he doesn’t share cocaine.
He’d be a huge asshole about it too.
“Cocaine?”
“Yeah sure.”
“Oh no you misunderstood. I wasn’t offering, I was just asking if you had your own because I’m going to do all of mine right now.”
“You see, I need cocaine to accelerate my thought process and unleash the full potential of my mind. I’m not sure what you would get out of it, but I’m sure it would be a waste, by comparison.”
Or a nice violin.
Or some fine heroine. Wait, did they have heroine?
It’s heroin, without the ‘e.’
Not heroin, but Holmes did go undercover at least once in an opium den. “The Man With The Twisted Lip” iirc.
Sam and Max immediately act like you’re trans. There is no realization, just an off-handed quip. Sam takes one of your lightbulbs, and the world becomes notably worse less than a day later.
The bottom two screenshots are a bit hard to read at this resolution, but they say
- Benoit Blanc figures out you’re trans because he’s a gay southern man. he knows.
- House puts you down for an orchiectomy before you even realize you’re trans
- BBC Sherlock calls you a slur
[off topic]
Mike Hammer was immensely popular for years. “My Gun Is Quick” and “I, the Jury” were full of anti-gay slurs.
Currently there are Pride Month flags flying from Mickey Spillane’s bar in NYC.
Hammer is a no-holds-barred private investigator whose love for his secretary Velda is outweighed only by his willingness to kill a killer.
When the blurb writer from the back of the books realizes he can just edit directly to Wikipedia lmao
The Washington Times obituary of Spillane said of Hammer, “In a manner similar to Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry, Hammer was a cynical loner contemptuous of the ‘tedious process’ of the legal system, choosing instead to enforce the law on his own terms.”
Christ, what vicious condemnation.
Jenny Nicholson reviewed the book Trigger Warning. In the last dozen pages, some Navy Seal Delta Force Army Ranger suddenly appears and offers the alleged protagonist a job as a “one-man strike team,” roaming the country and “righting wrongs.” Like all the three-letter agencies got together to make some witness-protection mooks into fascist vigilantes. Every single time, it is shocking to remember that this power fantasy is some assholes’ actual moral belief system. These are problems they really believe exists - these are solutions they desperately want to see.
Oh I just watched an episode of fuckin Columbo where the titular detective encouraged a beat cop to make an illegal search, and if it was a problem he would “get a warrant later.”
And that’s every single cop show. That’s so much scarier to me. That the common, every day, “likeable” “good guy” cop characters are constantly violating suspects’ rights, and it’s always presented as justified.
It’s so common and consistent that I think a lot of people just think of it as being part of a cop’s job, and that “rights” are in opposition to justice rather than a part of it. Including a lot of cops. It’s really fucked.
Jessica Jones calls you an idiot for not realising you’re trans, but she does it out of earshot and then offers you some beer from the bottle she’s drinking out of.
I wonder how matlock and monk would have done it.
How would Jessica Fletcher and Mark Sloan solve it?
Jessica Fletcher would figure it out when she dressed up as a drunk to tail her niece. She’d sing a bit of shanty, kiss you on the forehead, and encourage you to be yourself. You were once her student, and she always knew from your writing that you were a kind soul and a wicked plot weaver.
puts on tinfoil hat
Jessica Fletcher actually causes you to question your entire identity several weeks before suddenly hopping on a train and attending a book signing event she set up without her publicist knowing. Then when she arrives she bumps into one of your friends nowhere near the signing event, manipulates the conversation into talking about you, figures out where you work, shows up and claims that she was just passing by. After a couple days of back and forths while she tells everyone within earshot it was such a coincidence she was there at that time she, quite literally the night before her departure, tells you your life story and convinces you on the spot that you are indeed trans.
The csi team deduce you are trans by the fact that the bloodied corpse of the star cheerleader is making you so mad not because you wanted to be with her but because you wanted to be like her.
I’m relieved we’ve all agreed not to get into the Harry Du Bois angle
Detective Costeau hasn’t figured it out yet, you haven’t even met him yet, he’s still sleeping off his last bender. Kim, on the other hand, already had your pronouns in his notes alongside a comprehensive psych eval
The only writers qualified to give voice to his particular brand of nuance have unfortunately been shitcanned.
No Miss Marple huh… Shame

Frank Drebin ramraids your front door, notes that you live with no front door, figures out you’re quirky because nobody leaves the door open these days.
Rust Cohle sees you and has a vision about the vast emptiness of space, where he realizes that life has no meaning and time just repeats endlessly in an inescapable loop. He numbs himself every night trying to forget you, but he can’t escape the gravity of your memory. He’s pulled under the darkness, like a crashing ocean wave, and he’s drowning, over and over, in the inky blackness. He realizes you’re trans five years later, after everything he loves is dead, because he’s the only one who can.
