@jessica_darkwolf: This came out in 1982. There was no outcry from the public. There was no demonizing of trans people. It was just accepted. What happened to society to cause the hate towards trans people like me? #hate #trans #society #whathappened #whatchanged #bigotry
It’s a shame. There was never, EVER a reason to make any of this political, ever.

I remember this episode as a kid... and honestly it didn't phase me. I was just happy he kept his friend.

Id love to show this to all of the people who claim that the trans community just suddenly appeared in recent years. People who say things like “this stuff didn’t exist back in my day… umm yes. Yes it most certainly did. This show handled the topic so beautifully and respectfully too. With KINDNESS and love and withOUT judgement or hatred. ❤️

What happened was right wing politicians saw this as an opportunity to divide us and get elected by creating fear/hate where none previously existed. 😢

Crazy thing is Trump didn’t have a problem with Trans women back in 2012 because he was ok with Jenna Talackova being in the Miss Universe pageant. It’s those that are in power behind the scenes that are using him as a puppet.

You know what happened. Oppressive govts needed a new scapegoat to target.

this is pre-Ronald Reagan. once he brought religion into politics (much more than Nixon) it all became about controlling people's behavior according to their beliefs.

Sad thing is if this was aired today the far right would be crying that it's woke or shoving an agenda down their throats

this is so forward thinking for 1982. unfortunately 99% of the world still isn't this open minded

tbh, I think it was when certain groups wanted to convince us that children should be going through surgery and drug therapy. adults can do as they please

To be fair, Captain Stubing was playing devils advocate. He prompted Gopher to stand up for his college friend. I’m very proud of the foresight of this episode. Good job Arron Spelling.

I say this with all the love in the world. Most people, with whatever political view, do not have an issue with the trans person living their lives. The issue is the topic of sports. This is a division even within the Trans community.🫶 The sports topic has set acceptance of the trans community back a few steps. Also I would like to point out that the captain took that approach with Gofer intentionally so he could come to his conclusion on his own. 😉 Great episode. This is my opinion and I promise not to hate anyone who disagrees 💕

We had 4 channels back then, and I don’t remember anyone having a problem with this episode. No one boycotted this show and it had high ratings. The right became powerful when Reagan became president. Watch the doc about Judy Blume, who was always treated well until he came into office. It’s been downhill since then.

I said to my son"ive had you as my daughter for 29 years, I look forward to getting to know my son now. You've given me the best gift, a daughter and now a son." they are still the same person, and I love their strength and courage.

It’s a fucking shame in 2025 our so called leaders treat people who are not white, not Christian , not able to make their own decisions as women to choose, I hope they are ousted before I die.
