SOAP Q: Is All My Children foreshadowing a Trans story?

Sarah Bibel of Deep Soap posted this story about Kendall on All My Children (Bianca's Sister):
nfortunately (or, fortunately if you are a fan of unintentional comedy), a scene of Alicia Minshew playing the hell out of Kendall’s grief over Zach’s (Thorsten Kaye) presumed death while holding a stuffed animal that made her shadow appear to, uh, have undergone the same gender transition that that Zarf (Jeffrey Carlson) did a few years ago.

Kendall’s phallic shadow made it onto ‘The Soup,’ which periodically mocks the soaps along with reality and talk shows. I doubt that most viewers noticed the gaffe while they were watching, but host Joel McHale credits the “sixth graders” on his staff for focusing in on it.
