Would Ann have got a warning?

[Matthew.]

For referring to India as “he?”

[Amy Jade]

Should she have? No.

An obvious mistake and she apologised.

[pontyboi]

This is why I am enjoying this series any other year she would have but its all about freedom of speech and we all slip up sometimes regarding someones identity....especially Ann this is probably very alien to her.

[Matthew.]

But i don’t think that Ann knew who India was before the show

[FaLaLaLand]

It was a total, honest mistake on Ann's part you could tell. Good for India just brushing it off too.

[pontyboi]

But i don’t think that Ann knew who India was before the show

She knew she was transgender as India has spoken about it alot but that doesn't mean anyone should recieve a warning for not immediately adapting or should be expected to be fake about how they feel.

To me this just proves Ann is being herself and not treading on eggshells.

[Marsh.]

She should've been ejected. Repulsive language.

[Rustic bauble]

A slip up...she apologised.
India didn't brush it off...because at the end of the show she bought it up again to make a point for camera time..unecessary IMO.

100% agree with this.

Indeed.
She just couldn't let it go.

[The Grinch]

No, was a mistake.

[Monkey Slut]

If she continues to do so she should.

[pontyboi]

If she continues to do so she should.

I actually disagree it would be nice for once for housemates to have an actual opinion as it makes good viewing and causes debate over housemates pretending to be in love.

[Northern Monkey]

You would certainly hope not.I mean it’s nice to say ‘she’ out of respect or whatever but the minute it becomes some kind of law or rule to call blokes ‘she’ or ‘her’ then it gets dictatorish and silly.
I would do it so as not to upset her but nobody should have language forced onto them.

Exactly I worked in a call centre once and a trans woman called in to donate to the charity it was and obviously over the phone it's hard to tell if it's a male or female but she had to give me her credit card details and it was her birth name...which was male.

At the end of the call I said "thanks sir" and was mortified....it just happens.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

no dont be silly

[Shaun]

She probably did get a talking-to by the producers, let's face it :p

[BBUKAUSFAN]

tbh in the context of the conversation that was had it would be easy to mispronounce.

[chuff me dizzy]

When Inidas son wont call her anything but Dad I doubt it ,when your own son can't do it why should a stranger ?

[waterhog]

For referring to India as “he?”


was a mistake but has to not keep happening and ann has to pull her weight and try and apply herself.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

and it sounds like she isnt trying to sort that issue out either (with her son)?

poor lad

Its always the kids that suffer for selfish parents

[ChristmasNeeve]

No, it was clearly a mistake

[Osjama]

Obvious mistake she wasn’t doing it to be rude and it’s prob not smth she’s super familiar with. India handled it well too so like ykno

Agree with this.

Though if they were calling India he in a clearly malicious way meant to hurt India, then there should be words I think.

But generally..I don't think there should be punishment for using words in the way that words have always been used until the past 5-10 years

[Marsh.]

You always seem to have a lot to say about the personal lives of housemates who have kids despite their parenting not being on display for us to judge.

[Jamie89]

No warning was necessary. Ann and India dealt with it themselves and it wasn't a big deal anyway, a simple and understandable mistake to make

[Tom4784]

She probably got an informal chat with BB but I don't think she should get a warning unless she is malicious with it or it becomes a habit.
