With transgender programming becoming the new normal of TV entertainment, two additional shows have been announced to assist in highlighting the lives of the transgender community.
With the success of Netflix’s Orange is the new Black, and Amazon’s Golden Globe Award-winning series Transparent, a number of transgender-themed programs and characters have been introduced in recent months.
On April 11, Discovery Life network will join the craze when it launches its first original series. Titled New Girls on the Block, the reality show will feature six transgender women in varying stages of transition living in Kansas City, Mo, per Entertainment Weekly.
Additionally, this summer, ABC Family will debut Becoming Us, which is reported to be a real-life version of Amazon’s Transparent. EW reports the unscripted show will focus on a 17-year-old Chicago teen named Ben Lehwald, whose dad, Charlie, undergoes sexual-reassignment surgery to become a woman named Carly.

We're being indoctrinated to tolerate this depravity a little bit at a time.
Fortunately, the intelligent conservative base knows how to deselect the channel and vote otherwise!
They have one on the soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful now.
I only watch the local news and the Big Bang Theory. The rest is either streaming video on netflix or the internet. Cable TV in general sucks! Lots of channels with nothing good to watch. It was better in the days when we had only 6 channels. At least the programs were of better quality.
am enjoying reruns/YouTube of "Home Improvement"
truly funny stuff without all the PC crap of today.
if we don't like it, we don't have to watch. i,for one, will not.
