New Ftm Character To Be On Degrassi


Guest Carter

Recommended Posts

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 was talking with Kim Pearson from TYFA and she said that the character would be a season long, noy just one episode. Cool!

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.

Adam's first degrassi episode shows tonight!

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. :)

Link to comment

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? :)

      This hand written stuff is just a few years old, but those math animation graphics are decades old.  Those Flash Math Creativity days.  Lots of good memories from that.  I never read that book, but you know, I was fully in that thing.   I called the collision detection I was coding 4 dimensional math.  My roommate a few weeks ago was describing the fourth dimension as a cube within a cube, connected at the corners and folding in on itself.  I always considered the fourth dimension to be time.  I'm not sure I ever coded a 3 dimensional collision detection, but I realized that you would just do it with the perpendicular plane and then take the closest hit.  My mind certainly isn't in all the details of it right now.  I'm simply enjoying showing some of my work and perhaps it will spark someone else's interest.  I guess my art work doesn't fall into a clean boundary of illustration.  There is a thing about adopting a theme though.  You've got to work with something in an OOP world.

      That’s so wonderful! I’m glad to hear that mono-therapy worked for you! But Thank you, I’m def trusting the process and seeing where it leads. 😊     That’s really kind of you to say all of that. It makes me feel better that the plan I’m sticking with is unique to me as every plan each and every one of us is on is unique. And yes, I absolutely echo your sentiments about communicating clearly and openly with my provider if something doesn’t feel right or not working. Very good advice! 😊   I told my provider at the appointment that my plan was to do mono-therapy once my levels were good. She said when that time comes it will definitely be considered, but for now it’s getting my levels where they need to be is her main concern.

      @Adrianna Danielle, I’m happy things are going well for you and your boyfriend!   A late second coffee may be in order, but over my first I had a call with my boss. I guess he wants to keep me limping along for a couple more weeks so maybe I can find a job—and not have to tell people he’s laying me (and others) off. I guess my responsibilities will be solely as lead generation. Alone that is a thankless and exhausting job, but add that to a move and trying to find new employment…   I guess it’s one more paycheck; I can’t resign without giving up unemployment benefits (I assume), so it’s dialing for dollars for the next couple weeks between getting shot down by AI application filters and trying to sell my house! 🤪

      Everyone’s path is unique to them. What works amazing for one person may not work well for another (one reason why this forum has rules against sharing dosage information). So, each of us are experimenting in a way. Just create a plan, including options for changing things up if that plan is causing harm or not working, communicate openly and clearly with your provider, and stick with it. Body changes won’t happen overnight, so it’s good to remember you have time.   💜
