Transgender must be in the logline.? Must, MUST, MUST.? It’s your differentiating story hook.

And I suggest using the more common term “empathetic” in the logline.? Spell it out.

That said, in the script,? definitely develop how her intense awareness of others’ feeling plays out as both a character strength and a character weakness.? For example, a critic of her decision, someone who knows her all too well (like her mother) could point out she’s always been an easy mark, a sucker for a hard luck story.

And she will also be acutely aware of the negative feelings of her boyfriend.? So emotionally she’s caught in a cross-fire, trapped between the horns of a dilemma, damned if she does,? damned if she doesn’t.

Whatever.? My takeaway is that I sense there’s dramatic gold to? be mined in her intense empathy.? (Are you aware of the Myers-Briggs typology? Your character would score at the far end of the feeling spectrum).

Best wishes with your project.
