eason 3

Moira accompanies Jenny on her return to Los Angeles from Skokie, Illinois. Moira's butch gender identity and working class background clash with Jenny's circle of friends. Turned down for work as a computer programmer, Moira begins transitioning with grey market male hormones and no medical assistance, and adopts the name Max. As Max, he gets a well-paying job as a programmer with the same company that turned down Moira. His changing behavior causes friction with Jenny, who loses interest the more masculine Max becomes.

Hostility from his managers and coworkers from throughout the season prompt Max to quit his job. The season ends with him contemplating breast removal.
