Customer Reviews
Trans episode very un-factual
W5 fell down on their factual reporting for this topic. And to find another person that was regretting their gender change they had to go to England. Ask yourself why they couldn’t just find someone locally if it was the problem they presented it to be. This episode is going to fuel more people being poo toward trans people.
