See story here: bit.ly/1bsMw76 Hit teen TV show Degrassi has introduced its first trans character this season, and Xtra went on set to speak with actress Jordan Todosey, who plays the role of Adam.
@@oooh19 I know that, but y’know, he was always protective of tristan cuz he was considered different…so him treating adam the same way tristan got treated was just ironic
Evieteresa he wasn’t homophobic, he said “i have no problem with u being gay” but he knew that riley wasn’t out and so he threatened to out him so he could be quarterback 1
Sa ndy he never had a problem that riley was gay, but he knew that riley had a problem with being gay and didn’t want people to know so he used it as leverage
Jordan Todosey is absolutely amazing! she is unbelievible. You honestly believe that she is a guy. Ever hearing her voice, because i am so used to hearing it "as Adam" i still think "guy" I really can not imagine anyone else being justice to this sensitive role. Jordan is femonominal!
so they weren't going to hit him when they thought he was a boy, but when they find out he actually still a girl, they're okay with beating the crap out of him...makes sense...I love this storyline though, I think it's really good!
Also FTM... I am so proud of Degrassi for this. I used Adam's storyline to help show people how I and other trans individual's feel. Keep it up Degrassi!
Last night I finished the episode for the first time where Adam died; he had become one of my Degrassi faves. Now, this was just on my suggestions. I miss Adaaam.
Something that always kinda bothered me was the fact that Owen was transphobic towards Adam when his brother was gay. I know there not the same thing but still part of the same community so he should’ve understand.
@trackball885 where did u hear this from? Idk the actor that plays Owen(Dan Kelly I believe his name is?) that well so I'm just asking where u heard he was anti LGBT
With Owen, you would think he wouldnt be so mean consider Tristan is his brother and Tristan is gay... but okay And with Drew... He was mean to Riley, threaten to out Riley... but Adam is his brother.... sigh... Oh degassi
1. drew wasnt homophobic he just wanted to me QB he would have used any big secret 2. a lot of people are accepting of people being gay but not supportive of people being trans so the story line is actually quite accurate
@@aaronbest5271 what I'm saying is, you would think Drew would know how important it is to not out someone who doesn't want to be outed. I wasn't saying he was homophobic
OHMYGOSH! I love this. i actually almost watched the clips. i skipped em. i wanna see them when the tv. :] cant wait for teennick to show thiss episode.
@kidrockty No, Jordan Todosey is a regular girl. If you've ever seen the comedy show, Life with Derek, Jordan Todosey was the little girl that played Lizzy, the main character, Casey's little sister. She does a really great job, and she is just so awesome for putting aside her beliefs and playing such an outspoken character.
Ok everyone saying that this is disgusting, how would you feel if you were told you're the opposite gender that you are? I'm trans and if you think this is perverted, go look at your Internet history. I'm sure it's full of "appropriate" content...sheesh.
It's really interesting to read through all of the comments and follow the massive, heated debates about LGBTQIP individuals or LGBTQIP rights. Anyone else agree?
@Bane13Hades thank you so much :) i make it a point to always stand up for social justice & people who aren't afraid to express themselves. i adore diversity SO much.
there was this girl I went to elementary with named Eden used to dress up like a boy an played football even went to the boys washroom I added her on facebook an sure enough saw pictures of her an her date it was crazy I never thought id know a transgender
@lunaticorthelover Bahaha, so true. And didn't Paige have a girlfriend after she and Alex broke up for like one or two episodes? Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm pretty sure I missed one or two episodes in there somewhere.
I know somebody who is a transgender. She used to be a man. And know I like her. She is amazing. This video make me sad when the guys who bullies Adam in degrassi I really want to help Adam out so bad. I want to say too own and Fitz to stop bullying him. I like Adam, he is amazing Guy. RIP Adam Torres. I miss you.
@RedRockstarr98 i was referrign to in the promo where drew says "your a girl" or something on that lines, towards adam, thats rude really, so yeah, i wanst referring to any past episodes, iw as tlkaing baout the promo
@blingblinggirl12 drew doesnt bash on adam he's his stepbrother and he actually stands up for adam in my body is a cage part 1 and also he didnt care or make fun of riley when he came out so hes not homophobic
@StarGermanShephard The reason why I got so angry is because my partner is an FTM transgender, and the same exact thing happened to him. This episode of Degrassi was very important to him, because it's about time people acknowledge that this really *does* happen. It's not "just a tv show," this really happens. Should I probably have been more calm in my approach? Yes. I can admit that. But I stand by my stance.
@lunaticorthelover so what? we still have marco, alex, riley, and adam (i dont count page. she only went out with one girl and everyone else was a guy)
@blingblinggirl12 is it the promo where him and drew both like fiona and adam was like "why is it so bad if i like her too" and drew was like "jelously's a bitch"? sorry i really pay attention to the promos im sorta obbsessed
@Elementl19 wow i feel exactly same. another fav character of mine is JT :) poor JT :(( but what i dont get is that even AFTER they find out its a girl, why the hell would they still throw him? O.o
@32coolness32 Um, no he isn't. Off the top of my head I can think of three others (from Cold Case, The Listener, and Mental). He's still awesome, though. :)
