Lauren playing transgender card?
 
Luke A won, Nardia won years back (I think...) she mentions it a lot.

It's the only card in her hand!

MrWong 31-08-2013 11:17 PM

But does she mention it as much as you?

EatMyFlan 31-08-2013 11:27 PM

Do I mention it much?? Or are you just offended by my views?

Kizzy 31-08-2013 11:30 PM

To say she's been living as a woman for 12 odd years she does bang on about it.

The first one.

Dionkan 31-08-2013 11:34 PM

She uses it every time she can she's playing the game and it seems to be working

CaudleHalbard 31-08-2013 11:36 PM

It's the only life story she has - apart from scamming.

Not mentioned her being a transexual. Have mentioned her being a vile manipulater which is her personality. My sexuality doesn't define who I am. A bad person is a bad person regardless of gender, sexuality, race or religion.

It does work with people of a certain personality.

Yes

Vanessa 01-09-2013 04:51 AM

No, she hardly mentions it.

I hate when people say this about any HM. Its so pointless. Is Louie playing the 'gay card' ? Is Charlotte playing 'the Geordie chav card'? Is Dustin playing the 'Screech card'? Is Abz playing the 'boy band card'? and so on, I could go through every single one of them applying the same logic. Its her 'thing' all of them have a 'thing' or they wouldn't be in there.

do you see her as a bad person? I don't see that:shrug:

Ammi 01-09-2013 06:40 AM

..I hadn't noticed her mentioning it a lot but if she does then it's probably because it's a huge thing in her life, how could it not be..and there are always people who judge so she probably seeks acceptance as well...

joeysteele 01-09-2013 08:29 AM

She is always going on about it, anytime anyone is seemingly getting at her she brings that in as the reason they are or that someone doesn't like her or want to talk to her.

It is obviously a major thing in her life but she is the one who keeps drawing attention to it.
I just see her as Lauren, she annoyed me on bbbots when she was on for 2 series and now she is annoying me as a housemate in the house.
Not for that fact as to what she has gone through but because she is who she is and I find her really annoying and always wanting special attention.
She is very hard work I would guess as a housemate and I can see why she has no friends either.

Everyone must have to tread on eggshells around her in case they are perceived as being aginst her for only one reason.
Which she loves to,it seems to me anyway, highlight herself as to why she gets negatives from other people even though it is more likely her behaviour that is the turn off not what she has been through.

Her story is actually really interesting and commendable in my view,as Luke A's was too.
Not the way she uses it herself though to get at those who seem not to be able to get on with her.

I used to think she needed sectioning but now I think she is a cute game player with some rather disturbing tools. The gender card, the sympathy card, the suicide card and anything else that gets her votes. I swear to god if she wins, I will never watch another CBB. This years celebs are a bag of spanners and low budget tossers. Big Ron was the only one of worth and as usual the VTS got him kicked.

Marc 01-09-2013 11:53 AM

Would this card me a mix of the Jack and the Queen?

Doesn't she just?she is always using it,a bit annoying now.

cfromhx02 01-09-2013 01:22 PM

No she's not and why do some people insist she's not genuine and that she's playing the victim.Is it because some people are uncomfortable with transgendered people and can't accept what we tell them about the medical reasons we are the way we are no matter how often we say it and will uses anything to try and stop a trans person winning.

It's true we are victims we do get threatened and we do get awful abuse in public, far worse than Sophie got who's made out that was a terrible argument when it was hardly anything.

I'd like to see how bad Sophie would think it was and how she would react if she got surrounded by gangs, had things thrown through her window as Lauren has, had the insults of freak,

queer and gay thrown at her, if she'd had a petrol bomb dropped through her letter box or if she was just beaten up or murdered.

All these things have happened to transgendered people.So Lauren is not playing a trans card, she will have had something thrown through her window and will have been threatened and terribly abused by many people as most transgenderd people do have to suffer these things,

so she has good reason to find it difficult to trust anyone who isn't trans.

Even many who make out they are OK with us react uncomfortably around us and talk behind our backs or give each other sly looks.

CaudleHalbard 01-09-2013 01:26 PM

Lauren is a screwed up person from a screwed up family.

If she plays the transgender card, it's because it is the only card she has to play.

It's not about sexuality, it's about identity, it's about what gender our brains are not about what our sexual preferences are.I wish more people would bother to read up on it and find out the truth.That is why we are careful to call it transgender and not transsexual.

Are you meaning she is transgender because she is screwed up did you or others used to think that gay people (which is a totally different thing as that is one of the common misconceptions thrown at us by people who can't be bothered to read the medical research on why people are trans) were because they were screwed in head too.I remember decades ago more people used to think that gay people were only that way because they were screwed in head too

CaudleHalbard 01-09-2013 01:38 PM

Lauren is screwed up - and would be that way whatever her sexual or gender orientation. It's in the genes - you only have to look at her appalling family.
