Jack's Summary:
Jim Preston, a trans man played by trans actor Marquise Vilsón, is falsely accused of rape and is needlessly outed as trans during the case's legal proceedings. The prosecution's lawyer, beyond being a transphobic idiot, perpetuates some disgusting misandry when he insists that "most red-blooded men" would take the opportunity to have sex with a distraught victim of sexual violence, upon finding her defenceless. After all, she's a beautiful woman, so a real man wouldn't be able to hold back, right? What an utterly heinous way to think about any group of people. In my opinion, this is truly awful writing. You can witness the madness in this excerpt, if you want.
