There are many thing in which ‘Law & Order: SVU”
continually strives to do, by working to tell some of the most relevant stories
to what’s going on today, in the news. They have tackled such topics as
celebrity culture, online threats, and even in the upcoming September 23
premiere; a case with some similarities to the infamous case of Robert Durst.
For the upcoming Sept. 30th episode, the show is
really going to be diving into transgender issues, in the fittingly titled ‘Transgender
Bridge.’ The episode is said to be about
a young woman being bullied and attacked in school just for being herself, and
some of the ramifications that come along with that.
First look here at the synopsis for the ‘Transgender Bridge
Episode’
“15 year-old Avery Parker (guest star Christopher Dylan) walks home from school through Fort Tryon Park when she’s surrounded by a group of rowdy boys. Taunts and jokes intensify to pushing and shoving, leaving Avery in the hospital and three assailants under arrest. When the DA’s office decides to try one of the culprits, 15 year-old Darius McCrae (guest star Dante Brown), as an adult, the SVU squad agonizes over whether the punishment fits the crime, and must deal with the pain of both families involved.”

Episode’
We are all too familiar with this sensitive topic, and it
should hit home for many transgender viewers, young and old, especially in the present
climate of excessive murders and bullying. We can expect, SUV style, to dig
deep into the thinking of a bully and what it means to be a transgender teen in
one of the most populated areas in America.
I haven’t been a fan of the show, but come Sept. 30th,
I plan on watching. While Hollywood maybe finally catching up to the diverse
topic of being Trans, we must remember as a community that Hollywood is the
most fickle of all businesses. If they are willing to tackle our issues and
show the world we exist, we need to show our support and watch.
I’ll be planning an SUV night with snacks…see you there J.
