I can't get past Calpernia's disfigured top lip. When Barry remarked how soft it was after he kissed it I nearly gagged at the thought. Calpernia should go after the doctor who is subjecting her to that hideous lip and take a look in the mirror while she's at it. Ugh.

I like Shawn the best, too. Funny how the least good looking (or one of the least, anyway) could have a certain charm or something... The one in the glasses, although pretty decent, for the most...

Is anyone still watching this? I hate myself - not only am I actually watching this shit, but I don't hate Mark. How did this happen?

Calpernia is excruciating. I know she's a smart, articulate woman, but she comes across on the show as a dim, silly, childish Stepford Wife. I have to FF past the toast at the end of the ep, because if I have to hear her say "deeeelicious" one more time, I will lose my mind.

Why must Mark have redeeming qualities? I hate...

Why on earth would any straight male date a transexual when he can date a girl who's got all her original parts???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I gave this one two and a half eps, but even the trainwreck aspect wasn't enough to keep me. Meh. Everything Calpernia says seems scripted, even when she's just talking to Andrea. I don't know if I like any of the guys, either.

And you know that Calpernia won't find her true love, and there will be a season two. Or, Jim (the FTM bachelor this season) will get to be the star next season. Meh, again.

Can't we just get a show where we watch Alec Mapa...

Was that the one with Hillary Swank? I think i've seen it.

No. Hilary Swank starred in "Boys Don't Cry", in which she played Brandon Teena, who was actually born a woman named Teena Brandon.

"Soldier's Girl" was a made-for-Showtime movie, and starred Lee Pace (of "Pushing Daisies") as Calpernia:

The one with Hilary Swank was Boys Don't Cry about the Brandon Teena murder.

Soldier's Girl is about the Barry Winchell murder.

I wouldn't have expected Calpernia to do this after all she's been through, i'm kinda disappointed by it. Her story was so tragic.

More than a trainwreck...it's like watching the Challenger explode and the pieces fall over the Titanic as it sinks.

I don't want to judge transexuals...but I find it much easier to be sensitive to the plight of feeling one is born in the worng body when they do the operatrion and come out looking average, as opposed to attempting to look like Barbie.
