An article at American Thinker deals with a television program I actually have viewed. It is a segment of Landman on Paramount+ in which the main character's air-head daughter goes off to college and gets saddled with a trans roommate who is a total wacko.
What puzzles the column's author is that the person playing the non-binary roommate - actor Bobbi Salvor Menuez - is an actual trans person, playing to type. The "type" being an absolute self-centered jerk, the proverbial "roommate from hell." Did 'she' realize the character was a putdown of trans?
Landman is a good yarn, full of bigger-than-life Texans, played by an excellent cast, set in the West Texas "oil patch." It is raw in places, and the language often appropriately crude. Growing up maybe 10 miles from an oil field in SoCal, I went to school with oil workers' kids, who could be less than genteel.
