I remember being the first girl in my church community to start showing physical effects of puberty. An early bloomer, as I was called. I immediately and consistently started getting the kind of compliments from adults in the church that would have been weird to say even to an adult woman. I also started getting criticized on the way I dressed (you know, like a child dresses? in shorts and t-shirts?) and the responsibility of the "effect I was having" on the boys and men around me was suddenly mine to deal with. Children with certain physical features are treated as if they have the maturity of an adult brain and it's f---ed up. I had the same brain as the other kids my age who just weren't in bras yet. Genuinely, I wish you good luck on rewiring your perception of yourself! I'm still working on it too after all these years!

I vividly remember one of the few House episodes I ever saw back in the day, in which a 12 year old girl manages to convince the Australian doctor to kiss her. He does so off-screen. We later find out she is pregnant, which exonerates the Australian doctor for being a pedophile, because, well, someone else had already had sex with her before, therefore kissing her is fine because she's already been defiled so who cares. I was a teenager when I saw it and it freaked me the hell out to see a "good guy" get away with assaulting a 12 year old.

Honestly, as a trans person that perversely finds House to be something of a comfort show, I think you were a little too charitable about the sexualization of minors on House. Especially in the early seasons there's multiple instances of sexual relationships between minors and adults where the minor pursues or tricks the adult, and given that Bryan Singer is an executive producer and one of the co-creators on the show I often think the idea is to reduce the adult's culpability in these situations.

"Lines in the Sand" (season 3, episode 4) depicts a teenage stalker. The character is portrayed as "extremely attractive" and uses the halo effect in order to get sexual favours. This episode does depict how teenagers can put adults in difficult situations. The episode is relevant considering the trope of using appearance in order to achieve a desired result. House ultimately refuses her advancements, and Dr. Cuddy does call security on the stalker. This episode could have ended up much worse than it already was, but crossing the "line in the sand" here implies criminal and unethical activity which could also be a liability to the entire hospital. It's problematic because while House isn't interested in her, he's still flattered by her. House later realizes that she is sick and her illness explains why she's acting that way. This contrasts with "Skin Deep" because the expectations originated from trauma which happens much more often. Since Dr. House is only really interested in zebra conditions and creeping on conventionally attractive femme presenting individuals (regardless of whether or not they were a minor or your patient) kind of glosses over the fact that the adults failed Alex. By overlooking her trauma, the adults take no responsibility of Alex's needs and ultimately failed her by not addressing the situation. Alex needed to be referred to a mental health professional in addition to calling the authorities on her father for SA. Instead, Dr. House reduced the act to a punchline that her father is gay for admitting to SAing his intersex daughter and received no consequences for that.

INSTAclick for me. I believe there's an interview from a few years ago where Hugh Laurie said that part of his concept for both the show and the character was something like... "there are people in the world who think they can be something other than what they are just by believing it, and House is about what the world actually is." This is a TERRIBLE paraphrase, but it was just such an eye-narrowing dogwhistle. You can also really see this perspective in how House is portrayed as a drug addict who Doesn't Actually Get Better And Cannot Actually Get Better And, Really, How Much Is Trying Actually Helping. House as a character is so abused by the writing of this show and denied any ability to permanently overcome his addiction. (At least, based on the amount of the show I watched. I bogged down somewhere in season 6, maybe? Feel free to correct me.) Other characters too are kept serially beholden to their initial character concept and their initial problems. For a medical show, House is fascinating for denying any of its characters the opportunity to heal.

"The Sherlock is an asshole" trope is the fault of Doyle's estate. It wasn't a choice, it was a literal legal requirement for Moffat and anyone else using the character. You see, all of Sherlock books hadn't entered the public domain, only the early ones. His estate successfully argued in court that early Holmes was a narcissistic jerk and that they still held the copyright to any book where he showed empathy or respected women...etc. Thus all modern Sherlock shows have him being a jerk. The American version was taken to court for him not being douchy enough. House is a different story. Since the character is only inspired by Holms they didn't have to write him that way, they just chose too.

The human brain is a complicated mess that we only barely understand and every few years half of what we think we understand gets thrown out and is replaced with a new theory. We don't know why some people are just asexual but most aren't. Sometimes someone has had a repressed trauma and gets help and then gradually figure out that they can feel sexual desire and that had been suppressed by a mind that had been trough something awful and had linked the two together and just said no we are turning this off so that doesn't happen again. Some people just turn out to have a hormone deficiency or imbalance, and as that episode pointed out a person can have tumor or cyst interfering with the brain and hormone releases. There are also plenty of medications that among other side effects can severely reduce or limit a persons sex drive but I'm not certain if any of those would have been given to somebody before they began puberty and then be taken for years but if that did happen they could develop thinking they were asexual, have a change in medication, and then over the course of a few weeks or months be quite surprised to discover that they weren't. Are we talking a common thing for somebody to think they are asexual and then discover they aren't? Not especially but it does happen. And the fact is House was a show that dealt with weird and unusual things. Keep in mind a few things. The show was written years ago. While the show was presented as a medical drama it was really a modern retelling of sherlock holmes and solving weird mysteries with leaps of logic was the point, not actual medical practice. And the last point is the most important. If an author is writing a book they may work on it for moths or years and do all kinds of detailed research and either be a subject matter expert or have consulted with and credited experts on subjects in the book and usually only that author gets to make story changes. Movie scripts may initially be written in a few months by an author or a few authors and then end up going through rewrites by others who don't understand how some things work and they are just making changes the studio wants to add more action or romance or whatever and not only do those changes make some things nor make sense but then the movie goes through editing and what made perfect sense in the first draft of a script may end up bearing little to no resemblance to what was initially written. And then there are TV scripts where very often they may have only a rough outline of how a season is going to progress and rarely is an entire season written before they start filming the first episodes and depending on the show they may be writing the next episode while the current episode is being filmed and even make changes based on how people react during the filming of an episode. Some shows may take episodes on spec from writers who don't even write on the show normally, some may have a staff of writers working on different episodes each, and others may have different writers working on different scenes and plots inside the same episode. The point is if the show has a big budget the may be able to afford a subject matter expert to have the writers consult with but very rarely is the person doing the writing an actual expert on the subject. The more you know about any particular subject the worse time you are going to have in general watching a TV show when that subject suddenly comes up. This is especially bad for any show dealing with medicine given how vast the fields are for different specialties with nobody being capable of being an expert on all of medical science. I can for example tell you there is at least one episode of House where they supposedly give a patient an MRI in a room full of equipment. The M in MRI stands for Magnetic. They operate using super cooled superconducting coils generating VERY powerful magnetic pulses. Not only would they have instantly fried every piece of electronics in that room and potentially jammed every wireless signal in the area they very well could have drawn in smaller metal objects and had them hit the patient resulting in serious injury or death. There is a reason an MRI is normally done in a sealed shielded room with no metal objects that aren't bolted down.

Short answer: Because House is an a-hole to people in general. He's in ongoing pain and uses that as an excuse to be obnoxious but a lot of it seems to be pure power trip. He does because he can and he enjoys dominating people. He is *not* a good person, he's a misanthrope.

The sad thing is, medical dramas like this are the only way some cis people ever learn about the EXISTENCE of intersex people. The first story I encountered an intersex character was the anime Astra Lost In Space (it's only 13 eps and has a pretty good story from what I recall), which actually treated the character pretty well. Then there was the Robert Heinlein short story All You Zombies which was just extremely yikes

Who the hell didn't think to bring up this red flag to her parents long ago and get her some psychological help??? Nobody thinks it's Bad that a 15 years old is A. Used to being seen as a sexual object B. Actively using her objectification to manipulate adults by having sex with them???? 4. "I had to get him drunk" she says, implying she tried to seduce her father before but only succeeded by drugging him. What in the Biblical nonsense. 5. The medical staff's general behaviour in this, from the sexualisation of a minor to the whole *ignoring the fact that there's something seriously wrong with this family dynamic*. And yeah, why IS the man who admitted to sleeping with his daughter allowed in the same room as her unsupervised??? Hell, worst case scenario, at least have someone supervise that *she* doesn't try to do anything inappropriate 6. The misgendering and fucked up language in general Just. So much wrong. Jesus.

Yeah, House is a pretty ghastly show. They also tried to tackle asexuality in their final season in an absolute mess of an episode; Wilson mentions he has some patients who are a couple who happen to be ace. House decides asexuality doesn't exist and makes it his mission to diagnose something wrong with the couple. Sure enough, one of them had something that was blocking their libido or something, and after House "cures" it, the other person in the couple admits they were only pretending to be ace to make their partner happy. In all fairness, that episode was written by an asexual writer who wanted to use the show to raise awareness about what asexuality is. Purportedly, House was supposed to be wrong and actually learn a lesson about being a decent human being for once, but since the whole concept of the show is that House is never wrong, it was changed to him disproving asexuality and subsequently doing the exact opposite of what the episode's writer set out to do. Which all just goes to show that even when the show was _trying_ to send a positive message, the premise of "House is so good at what he does that they can't afford to fire him despite his awful personality" ultimately always winds up having the messages shoot themselves in the foot. The asexuality episode is actually so bad that it became the main thing that comes to mind for me when House is mentioned, so I actually forgot they even did these ill-advised intersex episodes. EDIT: I have been informed that the writer is not, in fact, ace herself - however she did publicly state at one point that the original aim of the episode was indeed to raise awareness about asexuality and that she was disappointed that despite her best efforts, the show runners insisted on having House be right in his bigotry.

I have a request: when you cover shows with multiple trans or trans-coded episodes, could you draw more attention to the absence of trans men? We're depicted with agonizing rarity, and that can hurt more than being the butt of jokes in some ways, especially when it intersects with the narrative that women dress as men to get ahead. I really appreciate it when media critics take that form of erasure seriously as a problem in its own right.

I think this has more to do with homophobia. Men/ and people or women that are perceived as men are deemed as a threat to cis hetero white men (i.e. the people in the dominant group). The reason we dont get transmasc representation is because they are seen as less of a threat than men/trans women/amab enbys. But when transmen/mascs do get mentioned, its always about them mutilating and ruining their bodies and the narrative always tries to say how much of a shame it is. But for who is it a shame? Nobody cares to ask how the person in question feels about getting surgery or hormones. Its always about cis het white men, why do you want to ruin your body? A man would never want a w#man who's trying to be manly like you. What if your future husband might want kids? But the narrative around gay men/trans women/transfemmes is completely different. Its about them being predators, them being threats to cis het white men. And we cant forget white supremacy, dark skin is heavily masculinized and black women, even if they arent trans are murdered by men who will defend their actions by calling those women men. And people often believe them, nobody would ever listen to a black person, especially a black woman, and god forbid a black trans woman. The way society perceives black trans women is atrocious, and nobody sees a Problem with it. Its always about cis het white men.

What I really hate about House is the way it props up this horrible jerk and justifies putting up with all his horrible conduct in the name or results and being arbitrarily right about everything. It comes with having the more sensible people who take issue with him or are trying to give better patient care end up arbitrarily wrong as well. I'm also noticing a pattern of victim blaming undertones not only with portraying the 15 year old with an unhealthy sense of self worth as manipulating adults into sleeping with them but also the kid upset about being lied to about being intersex only pretending to be depressed, bypassing concerns about the emotional impact stuff like that can have on a kid's life. I'm not sure on the protocol for medical ethics but I don't like the part where telling the kid the truth is treated like a faux pas because he might be dying. I'm not sure doctors are even allowed to play along with concealing information from patients at the parents' request just because they're minors. They may need parental consent for procedures but the patient is still the priority.

In the US, the age of medical consent varies by state but once you reach it, the doctors are supposed to talk to the patient and not the parents, and no matter what the age is, they aren't allowed to lie about what medicine they are giving to anyone for any reason. The age of medical consent in New Jersey is 16 so I bet that is why both intersexed characters were younger than that. Still, that only means the parents had to consent to treatment not that the doctor had to lie about what the medicine was or what their condition was just because the parents said so.

The crux of House as a show is that the core of the character he is asshole yes, but also that he is always right. And starting any story from that premise immediately puts it at a disadvantage when dealing with any issue beyond the scope of the character. House can't never learn anything new as he can't ever be proven wrong. Surely he has big events every two seasons or so when he is forced to face himself, but the show is always in a hurry to return to the status quo of House being right than any lesson learned is hardly carried over and easily forgotten.

She wouldn't fire him for any reason, out of a mix of unrequited love and extreme guilt. There's a whole arc where a major investor gets a measure of power over the hospital, and nearly has House fired and does have Wilson fired because Wilson was getting in the way of firing House. Cuddy stands firm, even when he threatens to withdraw his funding and he does exactly that.

While he believes humans are selfish and only think for themselves, he's contantly trying to find someone to prove that there are really altruist people and unconditional love. It's also mentioned that House was also interested in physics, but ultimately chose medicine becuase he wants to work with people.

I am not intersex but you said such a right thing saying "intersex people aren't trans" because they don't have to be, they can be cis or trans and there are MANY possibilities. I've seen many intersex people having to say this because most of the time they are seen as "inherently trans" and that's just wrong.

Fun fact you see that scene at 14:30 that's not how you walk with a cane that'll probably make whatever reason he's using a cane worse actually

I really like House and I HATE that the show has so many of these incidents. House is a jerk but WHY would you write your main character as consistently a pedophile? WHAT kind of drugs were they smoking in the writer's room?

saying pedophilic things is normalized for them because they're hearing it at work all day...

Yeah, House is meant to be a misanthrope but not a bigot, like surely it would make more sense to have House treat everyone in these situation like how he does other patients: like shit but because he sees them like everyone else, not some outlier.

Could you look into Star Trek TNG Season 5 Episode 17 ‘The Outcast’? I’m sure you’ve already heard about it given your luxury space communism poster but in case you haven’t it’s an episode that takes the “oh they’re aliens so they don’t line up with human conceptions of gender” route but flips it on its head where a member of an alien society with one sex and one gender realizes she feels like a woman, decides to identify as such and starts a relationship with Will Riker. It has a lot of fascinating behind the scenes stuff going for it as well, like how it was intended as a metaphor for gay people being forced into conversion therapy or how Johnathan Frakes, the actor for Riker, tried to push for his love interest in the episode to be played by a man. It’s a really interesting bit of Star Trek.

I understand why people like House (heck, I've watched the whole thing I'm hardly judging) but oh my god it's so bad. There's a reason why some people on tumblr call it Hate Crimes MD lol. The really mind-boggling thing is that a big theme for House (the character) is how his bodily autonomy gets sometimes overlooked because he's disabled and an addict so obviously he can't be trusted to make his own choices (like when he wants to buy a motorcycle and they treat him like a lunatic or the whole making medical decisions about his leg without consulting him first thing). Like, it's an interesting theme that humanizes House a lot imo, but then he turns around and strips away his patients' bodily autonomy every episode

I watched the first 6 seasons and generally enjoyed it but there were so many moments in the show that made me uncomfortable that i thought were problematic

Australian doctor guy defends the dad because House is doing it. In the epilogue of the show he becomes House 2.0

Chase never defended the dad in this episode. _Ever._ In fact, when House said to him, "You saw that -tuchas_; would the fact that she’s your daughter _really_ stop you?" Chase looked like he was going to be physically ill.

what I wish House would have hit harder is that she's AFAB - the all-encompassing definition of sex according to TERFs doesn't align with what they would call her

34:40 Im queer and a semi-expert on medical ethics😅under no circumstances should a doctor ever lie to a patient(except in the rare instances thats the only way to get the patient more care, like lying about what a mri is testing for to convince them to take the test or how much a blood draw would hurt), some things can be left unsaid but any explicit lies is a complete violation of the trust between the patient and doctor(if the child finds out they were lied to, ofc they wont be as forthcoming or trusting with their providers). Not only are you possibly inspiring the patient to make an uninformed decision which negates consent, in this case assent, but you put the patient in a position to not know how to live with a condition later in life. In this case, I would have gently berated the parents for trying to hide their child’s identity in a way that didnt lose my license then tell the child. Unless a patient tells me they do not want to know, I will make them aware of every medication I give them and every procedure I put them through. Long story short: Lily’s intuition was correct, the doctors failed that boy and their duty

as a trans man i ofc hate transphobia, but damn the constant sexualisation of a minor and then blaming the minor for all the instances a full on adult slept with her is f didgusting and truly shows the writers views and pdphilia, i expected transphobia, but i didnt expect this amount of disgust.

It was not even good medically. No one is imunne to testostettrone. Women have and need it too. You can produce too little or maybe not have enough receptors for it. But never immune

Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome is a real intersex condition that makes the body unable to utilize testosterone. The show was incredibly weird about it, and it doesn't make someone magically more attractive than a non intersex woman who does process testosterone, but it is a real condition. There are intersex women and people who don't process testosterone

Interesting, I thought this syndrome only affected the sexual development and not all the testosteron in the body@@spirithawk6580
