The show has recently been criticised for its handling of a transgender storyline.
Popular ABC Family show Pretty Little Liars has come under fire for referring to a transgender character as "He. She. It." on social media.

Pretty Little Liars is about five teenage girls – Spencer, Hanna, Emily, Aria and Alison – who are stalked, harassed, and taunted by an anonymous person known only as "A". The show is in its sixth season.
In the mid-season finale earlier this month, it was revealed that "A" is a transgender woman named CeCe Drake, who is the long-lost sibling of Alison.
Some fans were upset with the reveal, criticising the show for playing into a long-running pop culture trope of transgender characters exhibiting sociopathic behaviour.
