If someone were to get a gastric band and then talk about why they didn't enjoy being fat, and how different they feel now, people wouldn't really still call them fat if they were now of an average shape 
I think this series is just giving ignorant people justification to get away with all sorts of insults about transgender people. |
India keeps talking about when she was a man and (and I say this with no insult intended) she looks like a man and dresses like a teenage girl.
I think that by putting India in the house they've set back the Trans community a couple of years. I've seen trans women on TV before, and I've met a few in real life, worked with one even, and I have never in my life seen someone so self-centred and ready to be a victim as India. Shame... it might have been a good experience, like it was when Luke A won. He was a good ambassador the the trans community, I think.
