I actually think Shane, even/especially s1 Shane, is the most emotionally intelligent one of them all. The way she handles her creepy stalker-type in the first few episodes? That's compassionate yet clear. I don't like that she seems to have this wild reputation just because she sleeps with a lot of people--like, what's the big deal? She's confident and not crazy possessive, which all the other characters are and which is what I find disturbing about all of them. That and their weird bi-, butch-, and trans-phobia. And their snooty classism.
It's in later seasons that I go 'oh god what have they done to shane!?!'
