I was kind of spacing while gchatting with a friend of mine, and had landed on Nip/Tuck while channel surfing. My boss is obsessed with this show, but I never really cared about it. Yet, tonight was a trans-extravaganza as tranny hottie Candis Cayne (pictured above) co-starred in this episode. Apparently she hooked up with the hott, studly doc, only to afterwards tell him that she wanted his assistance to become a man. He explained that he prefers women, and why mess up a good thing – where she then responded by telling him that she was born a male, had the old switch-a-roo at 23, and has lived as a woman ever since. She gave some slack ass reasoning for wanting to become a man again (clearly under-thought by the writers here), and the doc complied. (These kind of themes typically infuriate me, as everyone thinks it's so funny to have the tranny dress in contrast to however they usually dress daily. Ugh! Kill me now! I'm so over it.)
They showed the butched up version of Candis post-"pp"-op in a man's suit, and hair shortened, dyed dark, and swooped back. Not a good look. Hell, even Dustin Hoffman looked better as a woman than Mz. Cayne looked as a man, if that's any indication... I'm just sayin'!
But it was interesting to see that this transwoman could no longer pass as a man. There is some sort of vindication in there somewhere. That part seemed redeeming after such a shitty and banal plot twist.
What a funny day to finally catch that show. Talk about timing. Trannies, trannies, everywhere...
