That doesn't alter the fact that what you wrote is sheer speculation.

Wouldn't that be far worse, if people were always on egg shells worrying about what they can and can't say? It's not like Carol made some kind of serious, thought-through phobic comment.

I wouldn't feel like I was walking on eggshells, I just wouldn't have said that in the first place

I presume Carol was drunk when she said it..... without thinking.

Lauren seemed unbothered.

So you'd have been filtering your comments, however innocent they might be, because of Lauren's extreme sensitivity. If that's not walking on eggshells, I'm not sure what is.

I think Lauren took no offence. Carol meant no harm.

Yes she did. they were in the bedroom the next morning and Lauren came over to her and said she was a bit upset by her comment. Carol immediately apologised profusely. She meant that Lauren needed to eat more, which she is doing, to look more womanly and curvy, which Lauren also agreed with.Lauren isn't the shrinking violet that some make her out to be and confronts people when she is upset.

Lauren did not take it to heart, Lauren did not notice that Carol backed down from her accusation with Sophie either. It is Lauren's good nature that lets Carol say what she wants.


Oh give over!

If Carol had said that to someone like Sophie (who also has a boyish figure) no one would've batted an eyelid. There was no way Carol meant it in as an insult.

Just because Lauren has had a sex change doesn't mean everyone has to walk around on egg shells being careful about how and what they say in case idiots take it as insults!

Carol said she herself has a boyish figure... was she insulting herself as well then?

Let's all put Loopy Lauren on a pedestal and wrap her up in cotton wool in case the big, bad, mean world makes her upset.

Yes I agree with this. Lauren did tell Carol afterwards and then she patted Carol as a gesture of comfort to Carol. I don't think Carol deserved any comfort because she was rude and unkind saying that to Lauren. I was pleased that Lauren had a good long think about it (no knee jerk reaction) and then raised it a good while later.

She said to Sophie 'Trout face' not boyish figure. See the similarity?

I'm using speculation based on evidence, and you are using speculation based against the evidence. That safe.

The similarity is that she chooses to offend. Not to give helpful criticism.

For someone who claims this on his Twitter account > "Genius is an insult to my intelligence!" it seems you are simply looking for arguments.

Last night you were saying that Lauren had contact with a member of her family, there was no evidence last night. I said that my speculation was safe, because there was evidence of my speculation. Today there is evidence that Lauren spoke to her mom, I now go with that safe evidence. That is how science works. It is the correct way to do things. That is intelligence.

There was no intention of offending Lauren. She said she has a boyish figure because she is too thin and that if she gained some weight she would be more curvy, to which Lauren agreed. She (Carol) then went on to say (as I have already said) that she too has a boyish figure.

So there is no similarity and besides Sophie does have a trout pout and Lauren does have a boyish figure.

You're baiting but I'm not biting.

We can all insult people with honesty, it is no excuse.

So you agree that Carol did not mean it as a deliberate insult then.

Well done!

Deliberate yes, but honest yes. Why do people have to change what I say?
