Max Sweeney, formerly Moira Sweeney, is a fictional character on the Showtime television network series The L Word. He is played by the American actress Daniela Sea. Max is a transman who has a relationship with Jenny Schecter through most of the third season.
[edit] Season 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.
[edit] Season 4
Max gets medical and psychiatric support for his transition, and has an uncomfortable dating relationship with his boss' daughter. Later, Max comes out as transgender at work. Hostility from his managers and coworkers prompt him to quit. The season ends with him contemplating breast removal.
[edit] Season 5
Max, having decided not to have surgery, works as Alice's technical support and lives with Shane and Jenny. He becomes suspicious of Jenny's new assistant, Adele. He sleeps with Jodi Lerner's sign interpreter Tom.
