I don't recall Luke A whining about his transition at every opportunity. I must be watching a different programme.

Going through the transition from female to male is not the worst thing in the world that can happen to a person, I know many people personally who have gone through much worse and don't whine on about it at every given opportunity.

hmm.....so we should tolerate what he went through because you think its not the worst that can happen to a person? is there a measure of what kind of prejudice is worst?
and how can you say certain things is not as bad as going through another thing, for luke A its probably the worst thing, because its part of who he is and will carry it forever.

No, you just weren't concentrating. Every time he gurns about "acceptance" and "not fitting in" and not "being popular" and paints the House like an infant in terms of "goodies" and "baddies" he is playing upon public sympathy and he knows it. Fair Play to him He does it very well. A boring Pete Bennett.

sadly all of these make him boreing.

I'm sure you're not alone in "personally knowing people" who have been through stuff. I'm sure everyone on this forum has both been through traumas of some kind and know people who have. However, just because you don't like Luke A, it doesn't give you leave to trivialise his past because you know someone who may have been through something bad. Furthermore, I have never once heard Luke A use his past as an excuse for anything, and I most certainly have never heard him "whine" about it.

I don't find him boring. I find him quietly amusing.

"Boring" on this forum seems to mean lacking a personality disorder/ being level headed/ not trying to seek attention all the time/ having some form of self-respect/ having integrity. I'm all for "boring" housemates in this sense, as I dread the concept with reenforcing bellend behaviour with 50k and the adulation of the public. I note the opener of this thread loves Caroline and likes Scott. Hmmmmm.......

Blue Cadillac 11-08-2012 11:05 PM

Maybe he just lacks self confidence, and seeks approval? I don't know that that's the same as 'whining about his transition at every given opportunity'. Personally, I'd much rather spend time with a grounded, well-mannered, clear-thinking person than have to endure the likes of unintelligible species such as Caroline, Becky or Ashleigh, who have to scream, shout abuse, swear and offer repetitive and pointless arguments to make a simple point.

Is there something wrong with your head? I bought Pete Burns music in the 80's ffs I am well aware he is a man. Pete Bennett played on public sympathy and was voted for because of his Tourettes. How the hell could you think I'd compare Luke A to that monster Burns??? Much as I think Liuke is a jealous, moaning little bore he is a decent person with more good points than bad.

I think you should not assume that anyone would be so ignorant to confuse a F2M TG person with a man who likes to dress in women's clothes.
