In Boy Meets Girl, the BBC has tried to make a trans romance but sanitised it beyond recognition

“Here is your mission, should you decide to accept it: we would like you to create a side-splittingly funny romantic comedy with a transgender person as the central character.  As well as being hilarious, the storyline should help to educate the masses in transgender issues - and you need to do all of this while being careful not to offend the notoriously touchy trans community.  Oh, and it needs to be suitable for a 9pm BBC2 weekday audience. Good luck out there!”
