Hmm.
So, so, so, I mean, I think maybe this is not what you're talking about, but I mean, like the overarching theme is obviously we're not sitting by the phone waiting for a man to call in and ask us to marry him, right? It's like we... Possibly Charlotte is. Well, possibly Charlotte, but then she... But she's aggressively pursuing it. She's aggressively pursuing it.
And there's part of her that has this marriage goal in mind, but she also... kind of wants to experiment and have fun.
Than you realize she really is. And I remember, of course, we did the thing, they had a thing in a magazine about who had had the most sex. It was the book.
They had all the pictures. Wasn't it even before that? Oh, it could have been, yeah. I feel like there was a magazine article listing how many sex partners each of them had and that Charlotte, surprisingly, I know, One, she had been to bed with more men.
Right. So I feel like in terms of Miranda, obviously she's very smart. She's very quippy. She's very cynical. She's very driven. She's all about her work and getting ahead.
and competing with men on an equal footing. Right, I love that. And she's interested in having sex, but she really has thought not at all about the idea of marriage or long-term monogamy, much less children or anything like that.
And so... So the fun thing about her has always been that she has this really tough armored exterior, but that she has all this fragility inside, right? Yeah. And so I feel like for me, the turning point for Miranda was, I believe it's Jenny Bick's first episode. That's one of our writers. And when she first came on board, she wrote the episode where Miranda buys her,
first apartment such a good one right yeah and it's like as a single woman what does that mean is that intimidating to a man when you when you already own and you're not waiting for him to like buy something with him you don't need shoes together right right and that Miranda is really determined and excited but then it brings up all of these demons for her about
What does this mean, buying this apartment? Does this mean I'll always be alone? I'll die alone. And I'll die alone, and, like, no one will know, and the cat will eat my face. Yes, oh, my God. Right? It's so good. It's so great. And she starts to have these panic attacks, which seem very un-Miranda. Right.
And, you know, in the same way that Michael Patrick talks about with Charlotte, Charlotte is a beautiful, intelligent, warm woman career person who wants to get married.
And so, right. Michael Patrick says at a certain point, even though it's about single women, we got to let her get married. Right. Because we just can't believe it. We lost. It's, it's incredulous. Right. Right. That she, she wants to get married. She, she's going to get married. Right. Right. Right. Right. And then it's not going to work out. That's the point. Right.
So, and the same with Miranda, he was like, how much, how brittle is, And bitter can we make her? It's like, finally, she is going to just break. So we have to finally, I guess it's season two. I'm not sure.
You know, they bring in Steve, right? Somebody who is like the antidote to all of the... Who is happy to be the beta to her alpha. Right. Right. And who is so into her that she doesn't doubt him. And it's just he's like he's sexy, but he's also just very devoted. And it's a it's a it's a place where she can land. That's a wonderful place to be. And it's not.
She'll call me three bands.
I am here today as the mother of a proud trans man.
I am here today as the aunt of a proud trans man. My best friend's kid is trans. Her best friend is trans. My wife and I, our lives are filled with the most amazing, beautiful, brave trans people, young and old, but especially young.
My trans kid had his top surgery at NYU a number of years ago.
His surgeon was the best we could have imagined.
And the idea that this city is filled with young people who thought they had a place to go where they could receive the highest care, and that place has now been shut to them.
