BB saying that last night was ridiculous

'She' when he is drag, 'he' when he isn't...

We are supposed to treat his drag persona as a person with a separate gender? What type of insanity even is that?

So if I put a frock on people have to address me as a she? Stop the world......

…I don’t think that anyone is required to do anything with regards to drag queens…I recall in Courtney Act’s season, the question was asked directly to them from housemates…and they said that the general thing was ‘she’ as Courtney Act and ‘he’ as Shane …and that’s something that drag queens to get asked specifically but there is no requirement…

Yeah, I was always under the impression that Drag Queens refer to themselves as "she" while in drag as more a part of the act and for fun/to be in character kind of a thing? I don't think these men (or most of them anyway) would care if someone still said he though?

I wouldn't have thought so as they are playing a part, they are still a He at the end of the day

…no, I don’t think that any would care on the whole…(…there will always be some that do, I guess…)…but I recall that I would always refer to Dame Edna as she when she was Dame Edna for instance…and Lily Savage had always been a she to me as well but equally a he as Paul O’Grady…that’s always just felt natural…in mainstream TV there are obviously more drag queens now because of Ru Paul’s show and I often seen that question put as to how to refer to them…it was interesting to see Courtney Act/Shane talk about it back in the day…

Yeah exactly, it's a character so you can respond to the character, I reckon that's probably what Big Brother meant too when answering Mickeys question

It’s common sense that this is what was meant.

People are just very very quick to be outraged and triggered.

You are projecting what you want to be happening, that's all. All we saw was BB saying that the drag persona should be referred to as a she, while Danny out of drag should be referred to as a he.

Why?

It's just a stage act. I have no more inclination to pretend that it's real than I would have to pretend Spit the Dog was a real dog while Bob Carolgees was on stage.

Also, it's funny to me that the progressive left created the term and concept of 'triggers' and popularised it in the interests of safety and consideration now use it as a way to gaslight and belittle those that disagree with them. Just an observation.

Yeah... BB didn't think that one through very well.
