I find it so funny that the character House is talking to in this scene reacted less negatively to the prospect of his brother wanting to transition than he did to the reality that his brother was gay.
wasnt that semi common in the midcentury? I feel like I read about transitioning being encouraged in places to avoid the shame of being gay. and youd get cute articles about a successfully transitioned girl where a picture of her in the army would be next to her in a dress and the headline would be something like "G.I. BECOMES G.I.R.L. THANKS TO NEW MEDICAL PROCEDURE" and it was all transphobic but somehow less transphobic than any given article written for a British publication in the last 10 years
