Zelahs fertility is no one’s business and certainly not the OP who does not care one jote. Just another dig at trans people.

So you responded to that perception with a solid dose of heterophobia?

ok...

Not sure you are decreasing the ignorance here really.

Ze's fertility became everyone's business as soon as they talked about it on Big Brother. You don't get to be the big boss and pick and choose what we talk about regarding the show.

I get to call out the transphobia. Regardless of anything, such a deep discussion, rooted in transphobia isn’t necessary.

I mean, you can call out perceived transphobia (which I find weird when you are happily to be as equally bigoted as you think others are in the very same thread) all day long, but it doesn't make it true.

But, anyhow, the conversation has happened, so what now?

Can we just note your objection and move on?

C'mon now BBXX, I was just done saying that this had been a good discussion and I had no issues with you at all, no need for the attempted cheap gotcha point scoring.

I wouldn't have mentioned the heterophobia if the tired old cliches of transphobia hadn't been wheeled out first instead of a reasonable argument or valid point made and you know it.

Except it’s not the surrogacy part, it’s the trans part that’s got certain members triggered.

honestly, I come here looking for a reasonable discussion on things and you guys always manage to drag it down to this stupid level.

So you mention heterophobia because people dare to suggest the framing of the thread was transphobic in response to the opening post misgendering someone, making out like this was a outlandish situation when it's literally just surrogacy, and a slew of replies saying how 'weird' the situation was due to the child having multiple mums/dads.

Seems an odd thing to object to but cool I guess.

I would bet my life if Zelah born a male (and mentioned surrogacy or IVF between him and his girlfriend) this thread wouldn't exist. CD has form of having issue with trans people.

If it quacks like a duck a walks like a duck it's usually a ****ing duck.

Nothing that I have said in this thread would be different if Ze had been born a male.

I don't care what others have said, I am not responsible for them.

What I will say though is that you perceiving them to be transphobic is NOT a shield for you to flex your own bigotry. You don't fix bigoted nonsense with more bigoted nonsense. You definitely don't have a license to be bigoted while trying to call others out for it. In fact, it makes your behaviour worse because you should know better if you are so aware of it all. The hypocrisy was deliberate.

And that was the point being made with the heterophobic quip. I am clarifying it because it clearly went right over your head.
