This is going to piss off India and get mighty confusing

So is Shane who calls himself Courtney when he dresses as a lady going in dressed as a lady and if so will he demand that housemates call him "her and she"?

If he does how will India react and will Ann, Amanda and Rachel muddle up things and misgender India more?

I'd say so, it's more of a sensation for BB to have him go in in drag really, isn't it?

LeatherTrumpet · 05-01-2018, 10:08 AM

yes this is why he is in, to cause drama with India

If it turns into interesting discussions rather than arguments then it would be great viewing I think because it is an interesting topic

He's a crossdresser???

Northern Monkey · 05-01-2018, 10:12 AM

So glad I don’t know who this person is cos that spoiler in the title woulda pissed me off.

Gusto Brunt · 05-01-2018, 10:22 AM

He's definitely been put in there to cause trouble.

I think India might walk...

i expect he will want to be known as she in his outfit but India may not respect that and call him HE

Ann will get confused and Dapper will probably call him and India he causing a huge bust up

I imagine he won’t mind which pronouns are used, if he’s in drag as Courtney it’ll be she and if he’s Shane it’ll be he

MICHAEL G · 05-01-2018, 10:58 AM

Housemates would never call him a she. They can’t even call India a she

Shaun · 05-01-2018, 11:01 AM

Courtney Act is a character. So the same as saying 'Widow Twanky' or 'Dame Edna' is a she. Don't think he gets very annoyed about any pronoun, really, and can't see there being any problem unless India makes one up.

Jamie89 · 05-01-2018, 11:24 AM

I don't think him going in will be an issue for any of the housemates tbh. Possibly the viewers, but from what I've heard about Courtney/Shane, he's not going to be too fussed about pronouns. I imagine the housemates will just get on with it.

As for India, she hasn't actually indicated she has any issues with drag queens as far as I'm aware. Her convo the other day was about not wanting to be viewed by other people as somebody who is one. Which is fair enough. It wasn't actually a criticism of drag queens as some have misinterpreted it as. And if she's further misgendered herself I'd assume she'd handle it just as well as she did in last nights episode.

The house seems quite a reasonable and mature one, I think anyone expecting a big drama to arise from this might be disappointed.

He was revealed in the trailer last night, you can't exactly get mad about that.

Not seen it yet.Gotta wait for it to be put on catchup after the PG daytime repeat.

Amy Jade · 05-01-2018, 11:44 AM

They should refer to him as they would a member of royalty.

Ann best be ready to curtsy in Courtney's presence

It's on catchup. I watched it earlier this morning.

LeatherTrumpet · 05-01-2018, 11:49 AM

Well I doubt he will be as funny as Dame Edna, has anyone heard his routine, will the jokes travel from Oz to this country?

Courtney also clarified that she is not transgender as some might assume. “Well, I use the term genderqueer now,” she explained. “I don’t use the term transgender. Because I live as a boy and I dress as Courtney.”
