Anyone else find Lauren hilarious?

[Scream]

I just think she's so dull but it's funny :joker:

I've seen a lot of hate for her but she seems so rude but in a funny way idk?!!

She seems weird.Not sure about her tbh.Will need to see more of her first.

She's intentionally but mostly unintentionally funny.

Hope she's not an early boot.

Don't get me wrong she's completely lost the plot bless her but I think she is amazing and very quirky however she could be in danger as I can see her being nominated and I'm not sure whether she'd stay depends who she's up against

NOPE, im sorry to say this but Lauren is car crash TV, a poor misguided soul who has destroyed their life.

[reece(:]

I think she's happy... what are the signs to her being sad at having surgery...?

[CaudleHalbard]

I think she's happy... what are the signs to her being sad at having surgery...?

Didn't say she was.... in terms of regretting surgery. Let me put it this way:

James was - we have to assume - an unhappy boy. Lauren seems to be an unhappy or at least discontented woman.

Becoming an ersatz female may not have helped. Lauren can never have the full female experience. Genetically she is, and always will be, a man. Her femaleness depends, not only on the radical surgery but (as I understand it) the hormone tablets she will have to take every day until she dies. She can never stop taking them. I suspect some people may not realise this.

I have met a few transsexuals over the years. My impression is that surgery and the daily hormone tablets have NOT provided the answer and that coming to terms with their sexual orientation could have been a happier and less destructive solution. Initially they are thrilled with their new body and gender..... it's a few years down the line they realise they can never be the real thing and they have by then struggled for acceptance. It takes a very special person who will accept a transgendered individual as a sexual partner.

Lauren had the sex change op 15 years ago. She may be at that stage of realisation. I feel a bit sorry for her. :(

[joeysteele]

I find nothing at all from her even remotely funny, in fact all through the fist night/day in the temple, she looked bored to tears and out of her depth

I have yet to even smile at any single thing she has said or done so far.
Safe to say she is never going to be one of my likes and I wouldn't be sorry to see her go at the earliest opportunity.

[Blue Cadillac]

NOPE, im sorry to say this but Lauren is car crash TV, a poor misguided soul who has destroyed their life.

Have to say I agree with this completely.

[Beso]

Bending over in the bedroom with a tiny g string on over and over again so everyone can see your starfish is a bit off putting when you have just got in with your late night kebab..if she stops that then I could probably put up with her for a while.

[MrWong]

She is not actually technically a woman.Just a man who wants to be a woman.Having hormones and surgery does'nt make you something you're not.She can have all the parts added and removed as she wants and will still never be a woman.I'm pretty sure she has no womb,child bearing hips,birth canal or ovaries.Not saying i don't like her for this or anything,But that is how it is.Boobs and having your dinkle cut off does'nt make you female.

Actually by law she is a woman. She can change her birth certificate, her passport, her national insurance details and she can also enter into a civil partnership with a man if she chooses too. See the Gender Recognition act 2004.

You don't need, by law, a womb, child bearing hips, birth canal or ovaries. You just need to have lived your life as a woman for atleast 2 years.

[CaudleHalbard]

I'm not sure tbh.Maybe,Is'nt your Birth Certificate who you were when you were born?Passport could be different.

You are allowed to alter your birth certificate if you have gender reassignment. It is a rare edition exception to the general rule.

All other official documents, such as passport, reflect your new gender.

[PrincessIona]

Actually research has shown that transgendered people are trapped in the body of the opposite sex. They have cut open the brains and discovered a transgendered person born a man would have the brain of a women.

So, Lauren has the brain of a woman, and as much as science will allow, the body of a woman. Making her, in my view, a woman.

[CaudleHalbard]

Lauren's sex chromosomes, also known as gonosomes, will be XY (male) and not XX (female). No surgery or pills can alter that. She will always be genetically male.

In some extremely rare cases, children are born with genitalia which do not relate to their chromosomes. Or born as hermaphrodites... with male and female sexual organs. However, for most transexuals it is purely psychological.

What is sometimes called a "legal fiction" allows transgendered people to pass as persons who are of the opposite sex of their genetically determined one which cannot ever be changed.

As to Lauren, a couple of people I've spoken to (who remember her as a boy) assumed she's a transvestite!

[Beso]

Brain of a female, body of a female, chromosomes of a male...whatever, she has the face of a grinch.get the twat out.

[fingers]

Lauren is not hilarious. I remember when he was a little boy (James Harries) doing antiques on the TV. His family screwed his brain up. He was used by his parents to make them money. His story is actually tragic.

[DanaC]

In answer to the Op though: I don't really know what to make of her. Some of the stuff she says, I'm not sure if it's really funny, or really deluded...

[CaudleHalbard]

There are developmental disorders which can mean a woman is born without some of those things. That doesn't stop her being female.

But her chromosomes say she's male. They haven't found a way to alter that yet. Lol! ;)

If I was speaking to Lauren, I wouldn't dream of saying anything to imply she was anything other than female. It would be disrespectful.

However, on an internet forum we can express our views. In reality this is a man who, for purely psychological reasons, has been surgically altered to become a "faux female" but has to take hormone tablets, for life, to prevent the male characteristics from showing through.

This is a bit different from a female who has developmental disorders but who is genetically still a female.

[DanaC]

*smiles* fair enough. I think we'll have to agree to differ on this one. It all depends on how you define 'gender'.

[CaudleHalbard]

It's a controversial subject.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_identity_disorder

[DanaC]

It certainly is.

[Northern Monkey]

There are developmental disorders which can mean a woman is born without some of those things. That doesn't stop her being female.
Yeah,You are right,But she would have developed as female,Just with some mutations which caused her to not develope properly.Lauren was born a man with no female organs whatsoever.Getting her body hacked up and things added and taking oestrogen tablets will never change the fact that she does'nt have any female organs and was born a male.Nothing can change that.It's all cosmetic.Being a woman is more than just a pair of breasts,If you are born male,no amount cosmetic work can change that.A transexual can never fully appease their desire to be the opposite sex.

[DanaC]

But being a woman isn't just about your organs either. It's about what goes on in your head, it's about self-identification and external identification, and it's about where you fit in society's rendering of gender. If the things you like, and the things you feel and the way you think places you in one category and your physicality places you in another: who is to say which of those should take precedence?

[fingers]

She gets all worked up about the term "Trans" yet on the HL show (on Now) she says that she's doing it for all transgender people, more Lauren lies!

That's just a chemical inbalance in the brain.If you're physically male then you're male or vice versa.You can't change that no matter what you THINK you are.

[CaudleHalbard]

It was only in 2002 that, in the UK, transgenderism ceased to be classified as a mental illness. In France, as recently as 2009.

Physically she is a altered male who is neither a woman, or a man any more. I call that a shemale.

Why though? Why not just call her a female? What harm does it do to you to accept the gender she claims?


I was just being accurate, scientific. Call her female if you want. Arguments can go on forever though if you are not accurate.

[Livia]

She isn't a woman, she's a transsexual. I would refer to her as 'she' because that's what she's chosen. However no amount of surgery is going to get rid of the Y chromosome. And no, I don't find her hilarious, I find her annoying, self-involved and tedious.

[Kizzy]

It's a strange one, I guess unless you have been in that position psychologically you can't begin to imagine how being called several different gender terms makes you feel.

[DanaC]

That's just a chemical inbalance in the brain.If you're physically male then you're male or vice versa.You can't change that no matter what you THINK you are.

I don't think there's any 'just'about it. If it is a chemical imbalance, it is one that occurs during fetal development. Essentially in such cases the brain of the male fetus follows a female developmental path. It isn't a chemical imbalance in the present which can be corrected through some kind of chemical re balancing, like clinical depression.

If the self is created by the brain, then the self in that case is female.

Given that science has found ways to make the body match that self, and hasn;t yet managed to find a way to make the developed brain match that body, we can either consign such people to a linguistic no man's land (;p) or accept the new designation as valid.

I think science has done great things for people who are born in what they feel is the wrong body, but they're not going to be able to do anything about the Y chromosome, either to add it, or to take it away.

So, Lauren has the brain of a woman, and as much as science will allow, the body of a woman. Making her, in my view, a woman.

Exactly brain scans have been done loads of times which have shown that transgender people have the brains of the gender they feel they are inside.Gender is about the gender of your brain not your body.There is an accident that happens at birth which messes up one of the chromosomes when it should have turned out the other way apart from an accident on the father's side at conception.

Trangender people's brains are the gender they think they are.Unless you want all transgender's to have brain surgery then how do you expect them to be happy unless you change the body ? The body is created wrongly round the different gendered brain which has been proven in studies umpteen times.It only takes stress on the father's side to b*gger up one of the chromosomes so a transgendered person grows up with the brain of one gender trapped inside the body of someone with the other gender's body so they haven't got the chromosomes they should have because of it being messed up on the father's side which can just be by stress.Is it any wonder Lauren behaves awkwardly,because she's nervous about all the ignorance about what makes transgender people around her, and is it any wonder she gets angry sometimes ?

It is now accepted by many that gay people can't help the way they were born and that they are born with a gay brain by many who didn't accept it before.How many years will it take till transgender people which are much different than being gay are given the same courtesy and accepted that they can't help how they were born too.

How long till many in the general public accept they have the brains of the gender they think they are and how long till someone can be judged on whether they are funny or nor as a person and not having to have it linked to whether they are transgender or not ?

yeah...no. I don't see somebody getting the treatment or surgery they need to live healthy happy lives is a drain on the NHS. I see that as the NHS doing its job.

Not to mention that what may well be a drain on the NHS is when it has to pick up the pieces after someone's been and had their op done elsewhere and it's all gone horribly wrong.

[MachoPoodle]

I'm a bit skeptic about the whole transgender thing, and being born in the wrong body etc. However, on a personal level, I have no problem with transgender people and I worry more about them making a potentially harmful, drastic decision (surgery) that will cause them personal grief later in life than I do what it might cost taxpayers. Regardless of my views though, I don't think I have a right to decide something so important for someone else, not to mention it's probably best not to generalize too much since each individual's life, experience and reasons probably differs quite a bit.

[CaudleHalbard]

Trangender people's brains are the gender they think they are.

It is a question of whether it is a mental health issue. Until 11 years ago (only 3 years ago in France), it was treated as just that. I am not aware of any startling new scientific discoveries that have altered the position.

Treating it as something that can be "cured" by radical surgery and a lifetime's supply of hormone pills is dubious, to say the least and raises suspicion of pandering to the PC brigade.

I am not taking up an entrenched position... I remain on the fence but a bit sceptical. I am quite happy if people want to make themselves into faux-women or, more rarely, faux-men at their own expense as Lauren has done.

But I'm not convinced taxpayers' money should be used in this way for people who are physically completely healthy and who may, in fact, develop health issues as a result of gender reassignment. I have spoken to a number of transsexuals and such problems are real, not theoretical.

[DanaC]

The American Psychiatric Association only removed homosexuality from it's guidelines in the early 1970s.


Incidentally, I also have spoken to quite a few transgender people about the psychiatric aspects of their treatment and a few other matters. I was part of a working group that looked into the local health trust's provisions for transgender patients.

The move away from considering it a purely psychiatric condition has been fought for for a very long time. And, funnily enough, the most ardent advocates for keeping that designation were the psychiatrists whose living consisted primarily of 'treating' transgender patients.

I use 'treating' in that way, because I heard some pretty disturbing testimonies about power trips from those who had absolute power over their patients ability to progress their treatment to a final conclusion.

For example: did you know that as an NHS patient seeking gender reassignment, you not only had to show that you had lived as your target gender for two years, but also that you had to be in employment? (though that may have been peculiar to our health trust).

Why?

[Kizzy]

I really don't see the issue, we are on this planet for a short while is some feel they would be happy living as a different gender let them....

Maybe ensuring they are employed is a gauge to measure if there isn't another underlying mental health issue that could be contributing to their gender confusion?

[CaudleHalbard]

I would never want to deny anyone the right to happiness.

But, from my own experience and contacts, I have doubts about the surgery/hormone pills route and - far more importantly - whether the state should be spending several thousands of pounds, per case, operating on healthy people.

It should be like cosmetic surgery. If you want it, you pay for it yourself.

[DanaC]

I sort of see where you're coming from. And I agree, in many cases there are later problems. Some people feel so sure that if ony that were resolved, as the root of their problems, they will then be happier. It can come as a shock to those who don't end up feeling happy.

But: that is a portion of the people who have the procedure. Lots of people go on to find that, though they still have other issues and problems to work through, setting that fundamental sense of dislocation to rest allows them to find some kind of peace in themselves.

And there is an argument to be had, as to whether the process would be so heightened and anti-climactic, were it allowed to follow a less traumatising path.

She's not normal in the regards of waking up. She has lived an entire life of fantasy, and always escaped from her problems...

She's a picked on boy, she leaves school.. escapes.

She goes to Manchester, can't take it... leaves Manchester, goes home... escapes.

She's in a body that she doesn't like... she changes her body... escapes.

The genius in her always finds an answer to escape...but...

She's picked as the least attractive woman in a line up... escapes...

How does she escape?

1/ After leaving Big Bother lots of plastic surgery.

And if the plastic surgery doesn't help.. she escapes...

2/ Suicide.

So this line up is a bad path for her. And I am the real genius, not the fake genius.

I have seen male to female transsexuals who look like quite normal women... it's only the slightly deep voice that gives it away.

Lauren tries much too hard with revealing clothing etc.

[fingers]

Lauren like myself has

She also seems not to have mastered the art of NOT tottering on High Heels.

She's got the face of Baby Jane Hudson....Got the body of Marti Caine...Talks like Zippy from Rainbow...and Walks like Elsa Lanchester in The Bride of Frankenstein!....

....But I find her both Endearing and Fascinating!...excellent choice for a housemate! :thumbs:

A scary combination indeed! :eek::D

But I broadly agree with your conclusion.... not 100% sure about endearing! ;)

I like her. She's just so eccentric and very funny indeed. :hugesmile:

Perhaps you saw Lauren Harries enter the Celebrity Big Brother House last week, but if you missed her speech you’d be forgiven for scratching your head and saying ‘I know I’ve seen her somewhere… but who the heck is that woman?’

Well, as Harries explained, she underwent a full sex change operation aged 22 and has been living as a woman for the past 15 years.

But why does that name ring a bell? Prior to her sex change she was – shock horror – James Harries, the child star who shot to fame as an antiques expert in the late eighties.

Get up to date with our history of Harries: as you knew him then, and as you know her now.
(Picture: YouTube)Before: James Harries (Picture: YouTube)
Being James Harries

Born in Surrey in 1978, the young Harries was essentially a jumped up hoarder of tat who collected bric-a-brac from car boot sales and second-hand shops. Persuing this hobby she eventually struck lucky with a pricey piece of porcelain and was even featured in the local Cardiff rag.

His style

Quirky. Unforgettable. Downright odd. It would be hard not to remember James’ look – a kid with big blonde curls and bizarre Dickensian style get up. Lauren recalled, ‘I was this little freak in this little suit with a bowtie on’. She may have lost the bow-tie, but we hope she hasn’t lost the attitude – nothing makes for better Big Brother than a housemate with a bit of a freak streak.

Fame highs

James entered the public eye aged 10, in 1988, appearing on the Wogan show to discussing his love of antiques. He became an entrepreneur, running a number of companies with his business partner (who, it should be pointed out, was his mum) and was regularly on TV for a number of years, including on After Hours and The Word.

Fame lows

Recession hit the Harries hard in the 90s, and TV opportunities arose less often. The family got into debt and Harries had to flog all her collectables to help keep the family afloat.

The goss

James’ father Mark was arrested for burning down his shop and charged with insurance fraud and his mother was put on antidepressants. Years of bullying lead James to two suicide attempts aged just 14.

Being Lauren Harries

Harries started cross-dressing in 1997, and soon became known as Lauren. A casual remark in a shopping centre – ‘he should be a woman’ – encouraged her to undergo a sex change operation 2001. ‘My life is just beginning. It’s like I’ve been reborn’ she explained.

Her style

The slender six foot glamourpuss entered the BB house in a slinky black dress and hopes to bring ‘a bit of sex appeal ’ to the show. She’s clearly a strong woman too, comparing herself to Margaret Thatcher ‘but more beautiful.’ Having packed an abundance of sexy lingerie for her stay, Lauren said that ‘you never know’ what she might get up to… now that’s a saucy promise.

Fame highs

Harries was a regular on Big Brother’s Bit on the Side in 2011 and appeared as a guest panellist on Big Brother’s Big Mouth as early as 2005. She has starred in numerous documentaries and was even a cover girl for magazine Transliving. She was most recently on last year’s ‘World’s Greatest Body Shockers’.

Fame lows

Lauren has spoken out against prejudice on a number of occasions, and famously lost her cool on This Morning in 2009. Probably the worst incident Harries has dealt with was the attack that took place in July 2005, where a gang of five assaulted her and her family at their home.

The goss

Lauren’s a Buddhist, a vegetarian and apparently, she can read peoples auras – which will be a helpful skill to have in the BB house. Whatever her abilities, celeb dance personality and BB housemate, Louie Spence, seems totally charmed by her powers and that is a troublesome twosome we can’t wait to watch.

Watching that, Lauren seems to be fighting over camera time with the man on her left. I think that she views him as a threat to her celebrity. Two suicide attempts? That is also a concern with some of the CBB time becoming personal to Lauren.

Lauren HAS to be the centre of attention and only HER views are relevant, if you watch the video again she constantly regards the psychologist with utter disdain and interrupts him to lecture him on his use of trans when describing transgender people, she was also unable to make eye contact with him when telling him HER views, looking over his head instead.
Lauren was really only there to plug HER TV show and when they ran out of time and she got cut off she resorted to her usual imbecilic behaviour.

[erinp5]

6.30pm: Lauren's currently giving Bruce a foot massage. He doesn't look as relaxed as you might expect :joker: I would love to see Bruce's face

Yeah of course, cause calling people out on transphobic comments really makes me an attention seeker :rolleyes:

Congrats on highlighting your own transphobia

Jack please either leave these daft comments out or switch off. It's getting tedious. We know your views. Please allow others to think for themselves.

[Jack_]

Why would I switch off because people are making transphobic comments? Switching off isn't going to stop them :conf:

People can think for themselves but if you are going to make an overtly transphobic post, I'm going to pull you up on it because quite frankly it's disgusting and cannot be justified. It's not a 'matter of opinion'...it's just wrong and highly offensive

What is getting tedious is the amount of discriminatory posts on here

[Vanessa]

Lauren is great. I think she will make the final for sure. :love:

[Vanessa]

I think it's normal to disagree sometimes. But surely everyone can see Lauren is really nice deep down? And a great housemate as well. :hugesmile:

To be fair most celebs are like that. She's been nothing but nice so far. Bless her! :)

Of course, I forgot, nothing in their life counts just as long as they are "entertaining" in the house.

Well said but you left out the bit about her looking like a frog in a wig.

[Vanessa]

I think she's nice and i like her.

[chuff me dizzy]

Shes very bright,but also very ditsy ,yes I like her

I could sit here for hours going on but Jack and Dana have it covered :worship:

[muchadoaboutnothing]

I didn't think I would like Lauren, I guess because I saw her on BOTS previously and wasn't impressed but NOW I think she is TV Gold and extremly hilarious. She is so keeping me interested in this series of CBB. Depending on what she is wearing, Lauren reminds me of Miss Havisham from Great Expectations. I think with Lauren, what you see is what she is - bloody adorable and I hope she gets to the final (and, at this stage, even win).

I must admit, she is starting to grow on me. I do like the way she is with Courtney.

I really didn't like Lauren at all when she was on BOTS but I'm definitely like her more since she went into CBB

She's unintentionally hilarious! :joker:

:pipe:She makes me laugh.......mainly unintentionally.....but what can you do.:wavey:

[Scotialinz]

I really hope she makes the final. She could even win! :amazed:

Absolutely. I think another thing people forget is that she has dyspraxia. It's a real condition that makes her that bit clumsy, ditzy and awkward. It's not put on. It's quite endearing and I love eccentricity as I'm a bit eccentric myself :elephant:

[DanaC]

SHE is just lovely,Soo womanly!

Well, it's a start. :p

[Kizzy]

No, stalking round in a negligee and g string looking like a spider crab?
That's not dyspraxia that's just silly.

[Northern Monkey]

Well, it's a start. :p

I actually find HER clumsyness amusing.Even if i thought that SHE was still male,That does'nt mean that i don't like HER.:P

[erinp5]

She is harmless with a big heart .She is so chuffed that she has made a friend in Courtney ,her first true friend.

She's like a female version of Mr Bean. Love her so much! :laugh2:

She is a nasty gobby piece of work with a vile temper once she gets going so im looking forward to seeing her lose her rag with someone.
Once i have seen that happen i will be over Lauren and wouldnt mind her leaving.

what makes you think she has a vile temper? I'm not really seeing her as nasty, I could have missed something though.

Wait and see, she's incapable of keeping up this charade even for 3 weeks.

[Pincho Paxton]

I've never had a friend before... :bawling:

She's latched on to Courtney, because, guess what, HOLLYWOOD is in LA! since she considers herself to be a rather beautiful actress, Hollywood would be her natural goal.

Having watched the lady fauntleroy video of her unbelievably fame seeking family I can well understand there are no friends for any of them. Even the cousins and all known relatives have nothing to do with them.
Lauren herself has admitted that that she craves tv. in any form possible. If she befriends Courtney then the USA would be her best bet because what ive witnessed of the American culture is that you are absolutely no one unless youve appeared on tv.

[Kazanne]

I find Lauren a very interesting character,would like to know more about her,I like her as a housemate.

[erinp5]

10.41pm: Uh oh! Ron and Lauren are having it out in the kitchen. She's not happy

[PrincessIona]

She's like a female version of Mr Bean. Love her so much! :laugh2:

Spot on!

I thought it was sad how she has no friends the only people she speaks to are her family, and occasionally the plumber.

Although, this begs the question - how often do they call out the plumber?!

[Mrluvaluva]

The funny thing about her is that she takes some things so seriously and is quite deluded in some of her thinking. Her heart is in the right place though.

I'm just adding all this to my list of how to win BB next year 8) repeat several times you have no friends 9) dress like a clown 10) be ditsy and unintentionally funny.

What was that line in my poem....

To win big brother it's clear to see
You need a bit of sympathy.
