The picture is a screen shot from the episode; The Prince of Nucleotides,( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4703184/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_1 ) which aired in June. She plays a transgender teen who is having medical complications from a pre-existing condition that is exacerbated by her HRT. Mrs. D and I watched the episode together; a step toward communication and understanding for Mrs. D. We've since spent a good deal of time talking about transgender in general and the coming-out of Jackie Evancho's sister Juliet, who began her PUBLIC transition in May on her 17th Birthday. Little steps.
