Boring Quote by Rebecca Root

“Where 'Boy Meets Girl' succeeds so brilliantly is it does make people think about something different and it doesn't make being transgender the butt of a boring joke. It's incidental, the fact that Judy is trans. It's not pointing at me and going, 'hahaha, she used to be a fella!'”
