** The doctor and nurse being appropriately chastened and making steps to fix their mistake after Mary Anne confronts them is this to some extent as well. Given how many transgender people struggle with other people, including medical professionals, ''intentionally'' misgendering them and refusing to respect their gender identity even after being called on it, it's still significant that their response is "oh, sorry, we didn't realize" rather than challenging the concept or insisting that Bailey is a boy, because it shows that they do understand and respect transgender people, even if they didn't immediately recognize Bailey as belonging to that category.

* Janine seems harsh to Claudia in most of their interactions, possibly due to an AmbiguousDisorder that makes it difficult for her to interact based on emotions rather than facts. After an entire episode at each other's throats and misinterpreting one another, Janine is able to bond with Claudia in her own way – by sharing facts that she knows about Mimi's life. Even though Janine is not as outwardly emotional about it as Claudia, she still is able to convey that Mimi's past is deeply upsetting to her and that she thinks it's wrong. Just because she and Claudia don't connect all the time doesn't mean she doesn't care about her little sister and grandmother.

** The girls gently confronting Kristy to accept that her biological isn't coming back to her life nor a good father worth waiting for. Mary Anne says her mother died when she was 18 months old and, while never knowing her, she knows her mother loved her enough to have given anything to have even 5 more minutes with her. Dawn also says that, while her father lives in another state, he does his best to see her as much as he can and she loves him for it. He doesn't do it "because he's a saint" but because he's a parent who wants to see his kid however he can.
