The irony is that the series itself treats all its characters -- the young man who's bullied for being too feminine, the physically-female but internally-male young man who falls in love with his best friend's little sister, the best friend who struggles with his kneejerk reaction vs his genuine care for his (transgendered) friend, the girl who falls in love with her (female) best friend, the young woman who's been abandoned by her family, the boy who hides his homosexual desires behind violence, the girl who sells herself and plans to use the money to get her mother out of an abusive marriage -- all of them, without exception, are treated with sympathy, agency, and respect.
