I don't watch much telly, but a visitor pointed out that the CSI episode on tuesday called,
Ch Ch Changes was about the murder of a transsexual.
So it was, and I suspect there were several trannies or very convincing actors in it as well as our murder victim. I won't spoil the plot in case it turns up again, but I will say that Grissom and his team handled the subject with some delicacy, correcting those who used the wrong pronouns and so on. Quite well done if a bit gruesome (or should that be Grissom?).

I think I've seen it.
I thought they handed the subject pretty well.

"Ch-Ch-Changes" is the eighth episode from the fifth season, and according to Wiki at the time, the first broadcast of the episode was the highest rated episode in the show's history - with 31.5 million viewers.[1] It was later beaten by the season finale, Grave Danger, with 35.05 million viewers.
Marci Bowers plays the character Bev in the show, for those that have never heard of Marci, check the wiki link.

Bowers is viewed as an innovator in the field of transgender surgery, as well as a pioneer, being the first transsexual woman to be performing the surgery.
my other half is a CSI fan and has the entire series on DVD, and while that episode is a bit gruesome, the subject matter was handled brilliantly and has only helped us all with the amount of exposure.
