I think you're being downvoted for this because, even if it's a good point in isolation, it's in the direction of "trans person bad", and thus indistinguishable from a transphobe adopting the point without believing it. You gotta include a few instances of "_____ did it really well. We need more like that." to balance it out.

The problem is that it isn't a good point in isolation, it's a point uttered only by people who are bothered by the presence of queer characters

Sorry my fist sentence was meant to be a positive one. ST Discovery did it well with the Trill, Trell? Character.

Also USA Shameless had a character that flowed well with the story line.
