TV show, not movie, but no, definitely not saying we should ban anything.

Given that the series handled his transition fairly head on, pretty sure no one wants to destroy the older seasons.

My only question was that this meme is directly referring to the top character as a woman. Most times I see this meme it doesn't have any references to gender ("morning shift going to work at 6am / night shift coming home at 6am," or something like that).

The photo is of a woman because at the time of taking it the character (and the actor) was a woman. Transition shouldn't retroactively change reality.

That's what being a woman means, no?

Sure, but I think the clarity is important, especially when others see dishonesty without it
