A reboot of the iconic show 'Rosanne' will return to television, and while it features the old cast, one of the brand-new characters that will be introduced is Rosanne's grandson, who dresses like a girl.

'He’s too young to be gay and he doesn’t spot as transgender, but he just likes wearing that thoughtful of clothing and that’s where he is at this point in his life.'
