Drew always corrected others when they called Adam a SHE and I always wondered why Owen treated people that way when TRISTAN IS GAY!!!!!

Jordan Todosey is absolutely amazing! she is unbelievible. You honestly believe that she is a guy. Ever hearing her voice, because i am so used to hearing it "as Adam" i still think "guy" I really can not imagine anyone else being justice to this sensitive role. Jordan is femonominal!

@kidrockty No, Jordan Todosey is a regular girl. If you've ever seen the comedy show, Life with Derek, Jordan Todosey was the little girl that played Lizzy, the main character, Casey's little sister. She does a really great job, and she is just so awesome for putting aside her beliefs and playing such an outspoken character.

@StarGermanShephard The reason why I got so angry is because my partner is an FTM transgender, and the same exact thing happened to him. This episode of Degrassi was very important to him, because it's about time people acknowledge that this really *does* happen. It's not "just a tv show," this really happens. Should I probably have been more calm in my approach? Yes. I can admit that. But I stand by my stance.
@mariethebest0914 жыл бұрын
Guys, PLEASE stop asking why they threw "her" out of the bathroom. If you had actually bothered to pay attention to a SINGLE thing that this video said, you would understand how incredibly ignorant you sound by saying that. They did not throw "her" out of the bathroom-- they threw HIM out. HE is not a "girl." He is a *transgender male.* I would highly suggest that in the future, you actually know what you're talking about before you make incorrect comments.

@iskate40 k i don't think you truly understand this.. although adam is just a character played by a female actress and it's not too literal in this sense, a true female-to-male trans person should not STILL be considered 'a girl' just because others may want to disregard their feelings and identity as male. i bet any ftm will tell you that calling them a 'girl' or saying 'they were born a girl' is completely wrong since they NEVER were a girl.
