The new promo for season 10 of Degrassi is out, and towards the beginning of this clip, there is a biologically female character dressed masculine, in a house of mirrors looking at herself dressed feminine. I don't know much, but I read that the character's name is Adam:

Also! then:

On teennick.com, the website of the channel that shows Degrassi, a blog post was given about the new Degrassi boys & it included Adams character:

http://www.teennick.com/community/nsider.php?id=9153&tag=degrassi

i'm so curious to see how Degrassi will handle trans issues with a teen audience.

& really excited that theres even a ftm on a show! Ive never seen one before! so WOOT haha

Even though we don't get Degrassi over in the UK, i will try my hardest to follow Adams character online somehow :D

The more we are accepted into roles on a TV show is only helping spread the word that we are not an abomination and we are just like everyone else. I am happy to hear about this. I hope more is to come.

That's pretty cool. :) It's good to see the trans community being portrayed more and more in the media as something other than a punchline.

I'm really excited, unfortunately I looked at the comments on the article you posted and there's a lot of hate about Adam, but there is also a lot of people who just don't get it.

I find it funny when people say things like "they're a boy who is a girl" or vice versa, it sounds like terrible grammar to me because I feel like they're contradictory words. Or something.

I gave up on Degrassi a few seasons ago, once all the good characters moved onto college.

I might give it another try. Just to see what Adam is like.

CTV.ca is the host for the show, since it is filmed in Canada. I don't know if you can watch the videos on the site outside of Canada though. Worth a shot.

Exciting news, not a fan but will have to check out the show more now....it looks like the fans of the show are really enthusiastic & excited about the storyline as well ...there seem to be a confusion though whether the story is F2m or MTF...from checking out the promo...either way bring it on!!!

Nice. I was waiting for them to have a trans character. I figured they would eventually.

I haven't watched Degrassi in a long time, but I will be sure to catch this season because I am curious about how they handle this story line.

So it turns out the actress portraying Adam has a Twitter account. I won't post the link to it, but it's not that hard to find. Just look at the comments section of the teennick page for a fansite, and the link is tucked in there. She's really nice :) If you find a public facebook account of her though, it's not real.

Ahhhh degrassi.

I remember when Sir Drizzy Drake was Jimmy brooks, then Jimmy Brooks in a wheelchair.

And Spinner and Paige were the "meant forever" couple.

Back when JT was alive and Toby was a nerd.

When Emma was all about the environment, and Manny showed up to class in thongs.

Yep, back when in the good ol days.

Wait... what were we talkin about again? :lol:

OMG this is awesome. I'd like to have a character I can relate to and I'm sure if they do it right they can't gloss over the whole crappy self-image thing, but I'm really glad they're going with a FtM and there's one more guy that I have no idea what the hell they're talking about.

Even the couple of people I came out with seem to be more familiar with MtFs and are aware of its the negative image thats out there from the porn sites and crap like that. So we get sexualized and marginalized and put into the perv category.

Of course it would be nice if there were a few of each on a few different shows but these things take baby steps.

I'll be honest even I watch L word. And I LOVE it. But I think I kind of love it for some perhaps a little more pervy reasons. <_< I'm not saying I'm a pervy person or anything :P Just saying that I don't complain about some of the scenes if you get what i mean...Anyway...Moving on from that side of it....

The story lines are pretty good to me. Yea there is an FTM. But I have to say that from the ones i've watched so far with the FTM I've actually found it somewhat uncomfortable (I'm behind everyone else and only watch it on DVD and have only gotten up to season 3 or 4 or is 5? i can't remember) the reason being was that it put my fears right in front of me. He starts hormones illegally and then is clearly confused about his sexuality. Being a straight man I can't say I appreciated certain scenes... ;) I'm not homophobic it is just a uncomfortable subject for when that particular part of the relationship comes up. It wasn't just that I think it was the way the character sometimes talked about himself oh and the way that I actually felt he had started to become quite an angry horrible individual near the end of the season i'd watched when he first came into the programme.

Yeah. He gets better though. I rather disliked him at the begining, he was a penis, started illegally blah blah. you'll hate what happens to him later on too. its pretty gross. but i dont watch it because of him. i watch it because i like the show lol.

I know what you mean though. You don't have to be homophobic to feel awkward about some scenes.

So i should be able to watch it on teennick.com tonight? Yay!

(/hates that he does not have cable)

I hope they got this right without being a total... (non profanity/LPsencor word here plz?)... about it.

But having seen the gay football player thing go on without being Marco (who i loved in his own special way, mind you)

I started watching the show less then a week ago when someone else on here mentioned in a post that they were going to have an ftm character on it. I was surprised the shows actual not that bad. I saw both parts of the episode "My body is a cage." I think that they depicted him in a very realistic way.

Just saw My Body Is A Cage last night. It was very real and true to real life, imo. I found it to be very inspiring. I might have my mom watch it. :)

I haven't watched any of the episodes since. Can anyone who watches it regularly tell us if there have been any more Adam-centric scenes that are worth watching? :)

      What's Cookin'?

      By Lydia_R · Posted

      Been using the wok on the back deck a lot the last few months.  Just got another stock of udon noodles from Amazon and we are using those in the stir fry with onions, peppers and a spicy peanut sauce.  I did this often in the 90's too, but back then I was just using a standard Coleman camp stove instead of this high BTU wok burner.  I've had the burner for a couple years, but haven't been using it regularly until recently.

      Tangent, adjacent, opposite...  It's still rock n' roll to me.  I don't know about the "in god we trust" part of the money, but I like the lady with the scale.  And then I look left at the Indian statue on my mantel of Guanyin feeding a drop of liquid to the dragon at her feet.  In god we trust?  The lady with the scale?  Maybe this is too binary.  And then on the other side of Guanyin is that kind of pelican wood bird that sits two feet tall that I hauled back from South America through the Panama canal.  The beak broke in 1998 and I carefully saved the pieces (as I usually do) and attached them back about a decade ago.  I used a drill to make a small hole and then put a finish nail in there.  Then a hole on those two pieces that needed to be attached.  Upper and Lower beak.  There is still a seam showing.  I could cover that up, but the beak is a bright yellow and well, it's better with all the pieces in place and I don't mind seeing the crack.  I guess that is the tangent and the other two are the opposite and adjacent. -money  Why don't coders always code the "-" action in their search fields?  It's not that difficult!

      Definitely points to learn and keep in mind.  A bunch of stuff I had put in mental "cold storage" thawed out a bit there and ready again to run through my mill.  As said, a bit long and as usual from her a tad bit challenging.  Overall I see it and can use it as a working hypothesis.

      We agree on most of this... and the church/state thing is kind of a tangent anyways. Oops. LOL   I think it has long been established that all different kinds of groups have access to public funds. In my opinion, either everybody has access or nobody does. I would prefer "nobody."   Relying on public funds gives the government the power to take it away, and puts that power in the hands of whatever group controls the government at the moment... the news article that is the topic of this thread shows a clear example of that happening.  Organizations trust government at their peril.

      More info on Abigail Thorne here: https://go.nebula.tv/philosophytube and, Dracula's ex-girlfriend, on Philosophy tube.   "The reason why Nebula is so cheap for what it is, is because there's no upper hierarchical group looking yo skim off the top. Imagine how much cheaper EVERYTHING could be if it was like that for every other service or product; if the money went straight to workers, not up a chain of command until it reached someone who did exactly "jack" to produce what's being sold.
