tv + intersexuality

The other day, somewhere in between my fandom obsessing and my Anne Fausto-Sterling reading, it occured to me that the only two tv shows I've ever seen deal with intersexuality seriously (that is, not in a "look, hermaphrodite freaks!" way) are Freaks and Geeks and Everwood. Whether it's more of a taboo issue or an invisible one, I couldn't say. Are there more instances like these two?

on a completely different note...

Livia is a demanding wench. The sad thing is, this is the closest I've come to writing Smallville all summer.

Notes: a) this is a chat transcript, so if that annoys you, duh, ignore it; b) I like to call this the Chat Story of Unredeemed Schmoopiness for Livia

livia: Erica, tell me a story. *big eyes*

erica: Um.
erica: I don't know any stories.

livia: Tell me one about Clark.

erica: *squints at you*

livia : I want a story!

erica : I'm thinking!
erica: Clark is a cute little baby alien boy.

Okay, so that Smallville trailer? Has me giddy like a schoolgirl.

Giddy. Like. A. Schoolgirl.

Two weeks, yo.
