A TransGender enter the Soap Opera World!

First..Let me say that I am not a big time watcher or fan of Daytime soap opera's! But, lately, I been reading online about this character on "All My Children" called "Zarf". Yes..That the character name "Zarf"...Rhymes with "scarf" and do I have to say it..4 letters and starts with "b"..

Well, anyway back on track.. The soap opera.."All My Children" is trying to do something that was never done before in any television series, introduce a transgender character and focus on this character's journey from man to woman And...This character is named "Zarf", who is a very outrageous rock star (reminds me of David Bowie..Ziggy Stardust) and is involved romantically with the Bianca (a lesbian character).


Now I don't know if the show plans to take "Zarf", (supposedly pre-op) all the way from a male to female ("Zarf" to "Zoe"), or if the show just using this plot line to try to raise rating! But the reaction that I have came across on forums (etc) has been mixed and have been humming with debate, with many writing they are confused that "Zarf" is both a transgender person and a lesbian. Maybe he is just a male with a unusual taste in style and wardrobe who like a challenge.Tryingg to have intimate relationship with a Lesbian!!

An online poll that I came across has swung between support and condemnation. Well at least this topic is being discussed!
