CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (S01E01, E08, S02E13)

Jack's Summary:

Thank you very much to Buck for reaching out and letting me know about this show's incredibly transphobic caricature of a trans man. Paul Millander, the highly unrealistic FTM character, is also an intersex serial killer whose gender-ambiguous childhood is framed as the root cause of his aggressive and anti-social characteristics in adulthood. Violence and murder are baked into the foundations of why he transitioned and chose to "become a man". He embodies many harmful tropes in one messy, lazy jumbling of poor writing, including a laughable scene where he enters an elevator as "Pauline" (played by a feminine actress) and exits as a fully-transitioned man (played by an actor), having undergone that magical all-at-once sex change which we all definitely have... that apparently changes every single one of our facial features, too... and causes years of testosterone to take effect all at once...

Millander's final episode is titled "Identity Crisis". His story ends with him violently murdering his mother before killing himself. His birth certificate, with his previous name on it, is placed near his corpse in an appropriately tacky, cheap way which sums up the character's entire being; he exists only to be intersex, trans, violent, and doomed from the start because his parents forced gender ambiguity onto him. In that way, he is similar to the trans male character in Private Parts (1972). And, beyond the transphobia, this is a horrific depiction of an intersex person.
