my current episode of house features a teenage supermodel. and generally i don’t put much stock in punitive “justice”, but with the way house is acting, i think one billion million gajillion years in the hellpit would be fair

#txt #edit: did *not* expect that episode to turn very transphobic/intersexist but here we are #i do not mean ‘someone made a transphobic one-liner’.#(spoilers) i mean that the girl turned out to have androgen insensitivity syndrome (but that’s not the term house used)#i.e. she has XY chromosomes but outwardly developed in a ‘female’ manner bc her body was resistant to testosterone.#(google it if you’re curious; i’m not a physician)#upon finding this out house immediately started referring to her as ‘he’. a man. etc.#eventually ceding and calling her ‘him/her’#so uh. yeah.
