I've said for so long that so much of the public's perception of trans people (trans women, in particular) is tied in to the Ms. Garrison episode. I suspect (hope) the notion was "Garrison is an idiot, and had no idea what SRS was", but the public takeaway was overwhelmingly "trans women are delusional". SO much of the rights "you will never be a woman" rhetoric is rooted in the ideas put forward in that episode and no one will convince me they're not deeply connected.
