WHEN A MAN IS FOUND BRUTALLY BEATEN AND BARELY ALIVE OUTSIDE A STRIP CLUB, HIS TRANSGENDER TEEN IS THE PRIME SUSPECT.
When a man is found badly beaten with no memory of what happened in a strip club parking lot, Detectives Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Elliot Stabler (Chris Meloni) are at a loss for evidence as a rainstorm washed away any clues. A fake fingernail embedded in the victim's back leads the detectives to believe that the attacker is female. Detective Benson and Stabler turn to the female dancers at the club for questioning, but a homeless man, Sid Gabbert (guest star Paul Lazar), points the detectives to the victim’s truck. Using evidence found in the truck, the detectives learn that the victim, Mark Van Kuren (guest star Frank Grillo), was sent to repossess the car of strip club dancer, Molly “Misty” Lambert (guest star Heidi Marnhout). After questioning “Misty,” Van Kuren awakes in the hospital with no memory, but brings the attention to his ex-wife Ellen (guest star Wendy Makkena) and their 13-year-old transgender son Henry (guest star Bridger Zadina).
Not sure how this ended up as I fell alseep. Yes I know. samething every week.
I am really unfamiliar with the whole transgender kids issue and even Dr. Huang's explanation last night was not easy to fathom. What says everyone else???

I really enjoyed this episode. One of the main reasons I enjoy SVU is the psychological aspect of some of the crimes and this one is no exception. I could not imagine the pain and suffering folks like this have to go through in life - and of course I don't think anyone truly can unless they have - and I liked seeing a little insight into something "new and different" and somethign SVU doesn't visit often.

I enjoy that aspect also but I have no read up much on transgender issues so I was unaware that this was a big issue. DUH

something we don't think about I guess because we are not "involved" I think it was eye opening.

Same with me, I saw the majority of it, but missed the ending. Thankfully, mum saved it on the DVR and I can watch it when I have the time.
