in this episode Mark and his wife have sex literally all day and now she’s on the phone with her male coworker about a brief and he’s getting all weird and jealous because she’s smiling like he doesn’t have Susan as his work wife
omg omg omg season 1 episode 9, I REMEMBER this, there was a rerun of this on TV when we were at my grandpa’s cabin in whitefish and it was the first time I’d ever heard of trans people, I didn’t know what TV show it was
The episode of Dr Quinn Medicine Woman with Walt Whitman was the first time I remember seeing a gay storyline. It makes a difference for baby queer kids who don’t know what they don’t know.
(I didn’t watch much non-PBS tv until middle school; I read through the school and town libraries instead.)
obvious problems with Transgender Woman Tragically Kills Self Because She Doesn’t Pass plotline, but on the whole this episode is wayyyy better than a lot of TV episodes from the 2000s
when I was a little kid I just saw the scene where John Carter is giving her stitches and she’s talking and it’s the conversation that makes him sympathetic to her and honestly it was a REALLY nice First Introduction To The Concept Of Transgender People for a 90s kid

Instead I will be the old guy who talks about when we had vaccines to prevent infections pre-facism.
