New CW Show Features Trans* Character

The CW has a new show in the works called Ze, which is centered around the life of a trans* character. Says  Feminspire:

As details for the new show are limited, it’s uncertain what steps are being taken to preserve the authenticity of the subject matter, especially for presentation outside of the LGBT sphere. The show’s title, for example, begs the question of whether or not the main character will adopt the gender-neutral pronoun ze as his own or even if the show will delve into such terminology in a respectful and detailed manner. No casting information has been provided either, but given the CWs history with trans* performers, it seems likely that they would consider a trans* actor to fill the role, especially if they follow the upward trend that has given trans* actors more visibility by featuring them in roles written for trans* characters — Laverne Cox from Orange is the New Black or Candis Cayne from Elementary, for example.
