'''Sofia Lopez''' is a trans woman, who first appeared at McNamara/Troy to have scars

removed from a surgery to reduce the size of her Adam's apple. [[Sean McNamara]] is less open-minded at this time, but eventually begins to see Sofia as the woman she is. He agrees to the surgery and learns that Sofia was once married and has a son who accepts her post-transition. Sofia calls Sean from the ER to help her trans friend, who has undergone sexual reassignment surgery by an unlicensed surgeon and is bleeding badly. Sean arrives at the hospital and assists in treating Sofia's friend after berating another physician for not treating a patient based on her gender identity. Sean asks Sofia to reveal the name of the surgeon who did this to her friend, but Sofia does not want to because there are few surgeons willing to do work on transgender people. But Sean convinces her to tell before someone else goes through what her friend just did and finds that the surgeon is his old mentor, now an alcoholic and operating from his dirty apartment. Later, Sean tells Sofia that he confronted the surgeon and Sofia is visibly upset that she has let down the trans community by allowing them one less surgeon.

But Liz convinces her that what they shared was not a sign that Sofia should not have the surgery. It was just that they saw in each other the beauty within themselves. Sofia goes through with the sexual reassignment surgery.
