RockosModernLife's story of trans inclusion and acceptance is so necessary in our current climate
those involved with the show recognized the importance of getting their message right. Murray said the show consulted with GLAAD and said the storyline became a “natural” fit for the return.
“I really started latching onto the idea of change and how society has changed and what’s gone on in the last 20 years and the development of our characters and how they would react to change,” he toldThe message of transgender inclusion can be a powerful and impactful moment for those watching at home, especially in the realm of a cartoon made with children in mind.
Molly Merryman, director of the center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality at Kent University, further backed the impact of the special, and told MTV News the episode could serve as a potential “lifeline to a transgender child who has no role models or parental support.” To Merryman, the show serves a much greater purpose than just potential entertainment value.
“Trans individuals are very aware of their identities when they are children, and if they don’t have an ability to express who they are, and if they aren’t seeing themselves represented anywhere, they can feel very confused,” Merryman said. “Theepisode does a good job of normalizing trans identity. It’s not sensationalized, it’s not overblown. In the case of this cartoon, this person is very accomplished, successful, and well rounded.
