Default I see Zelah as a bloke, but...

When you constantly remind people you used to be a female, it must be hard to differentiate at times.

I accept Zelah as a man, from day one, i see him as a man. But being reminded daily he used to live as a woman, and be a woman, it's hard not to see it. Idk.

It wasn't that bad because it wasn't malicious.

Just wanna say, fck this current BB, obsessed with politics and gender, boring af.

He’s just telling his story. Much needed in today’s climate.

People being openly transphobic without fear of consequence shows how far we have fallen.

It was factual in the sense Zelah couldn't reproduce on a desert Island with a woman.

Absolutely. Caroline saying she had to apologize to everyone was ridiculous. She only owed an apology to Zelah. The rest of the group acting offended by proxy and entitled to some kind of explanation sums up a lot of what's wrong with society today.

It would be an island of inbreds no matter who was reproducing. Not sure why anyone thinks that’s a good idea.

I think Glenn's implying that they're all Aston Villa fans.

You're saying Zelah is an inbred? It was he who was chosen to reproduce on an desert Island with a biological woman.

Strange take Glenn, something an Incel might say, idk, im not an expert on Incels like yourself.

Is it transphobia or not being well versed on this.

For some people it is still as simple as if you were born a girl they might still see you as a girl/woman

What’s Caroline’s excuse? Did she know Zelah before he transitioned?

Zelah mentioned he transitioned so that translates to from girl to boy?

But Caroline didn’t know Zelah before he transitioned. She’s only known Zelah as a male.

There’s not really anything you can say to excuse it. She dug herself a hole and just kept digging. She did wrong.

"Transphobic - having or showing discrimination against, aversion to, or fear of transgender people" Nothing Caroline said was any of those things. It was incredibly insensitive but don't make it out to be something it isn't.

You completely misunderstood my post.

I wasn’t talking about the house, I was talking more real life and in particular on this very forum.

We don't have freedom of speech in this country if there's fear of consequence imo.

And I honestly don't have an issue with Zelah talking about being Transgender in itself (why wouldn't he talk about it tbf?) I'm personally more bothered that by the fact that BB seems to believe that Zelah being Transgender is a personality trait and can't be arsed to let him be a normal Housemate.

Kinda like Strictly last year when they wouldn't let Chris just be a normal contestant.

It’s not all Zelah fault. I blame the other housemates for making it bigger than it is. Also for BB only showing Zelah talking about it. I’m sure he has other words with others but we only see an hour in a 24 hour feed.

Caroline was talking about making babies on a desert island and Nancy says 'Does it have to be a man?' (Err .... making babies on a desert island - yes!) So when Nancy chose Zelah Caroline's point (I think) was that the two of them couldn't make babies but the way she put it was really blunt and insensitive, but certainly not worth of the drama that came out of it.

Unpopular opinion: I think transgender people should accept the fact that sometimes people will slip and if they do they shouldn't use it as an opportunity to play victim.
