Thinkin\u2019 bout Ace Ventura, Pet Detective (1994) and the Veronica Mars episode Meet John Smith (2004)
That that was the cultural position of gender transition for a while, if someone told you \u201cthat man you\u2019re looking for\u2026 is now this woman!\u201d you were expected to go \u201coh, yeah, I guess that\u2019s a thing that happens\u201d, but it still serves as a curveball twist that the detective protagonists lose zero respect for not anticipating
In part cause it\u2019s blankly accepted that this would be a total rupture in life continuity where you completely shed your previous social contacts
