I want to see this. I saw the preview a few weeks back. Of note, it was one of famed writer/producer Norman Lear’s (All in the Family, The Jeffersons) final projects as producer. I think you feel his signature in this - the optimism and humanity and broaching what may be deemed controversial or taboo relations for the time. He always demonstrated bravery and used humor to deflect fraught family tensions.

Since J.K. Rowling & canceled Exulansic, Glinner & multiple detransitioner civil lawsuits make clear the literally life-threatening hazards of puberty blockers & mutilating, sterilizing, castrating "gender affirming care" surgeries, why do we need, deserve or want trans PSA ignoring REALITY & HOW is this a "wholesome trans tory we need?" In the '70's Time ran cover story about dearth of roles for actresses (well, Faye Dunaway made career of playing monsters & victims), Fonda addressed the issue by producing & starring in her own Oscar winning box office hits, but how is this helpful to anyone but Laverne Cox's career? Why do young girls need a living Barbie role model? Another 1?
