It's alright for us to sit here and go 'well that's not a very fair accusation', but we're not the ones that have had to face a decade of such prejudice...it's understandable that if someone made her feel like they didn't like her she may put it down to that because that's the general reason that people have probably given her in the past.

Having said that, I would also say that if you're part of a minority that experiences discrimination in society, you would have a pretty good gauge of when people dislike you or are uncomfortable around you because you're part of that minority.
Most people are perfectly aware of what she has been through Jack, but it's wrong to automatically assume that because someone dislikes her they are transphobic and to accuse them of it on tv is unfair imo.

I'm not sure about Rons reasons for wanting to nominate her, no one but him knows what they truly are but I find it a bit odd that Lauren never mentioned anything at all like that about him until he mentioned putting her up for eviction.


Most of the housemates are moaning about Lauren on LF atm that probably means she's not the easiest person to live with.

its totally wrong. but he can be labelled a bigot for no reason but I cant suggest on here that the types of people who support charlotte may be workless chavs? radical liberalism creates a society where only certain groups of people can be criticized.

Well if they were perfectly aware they'd understand that as I said from Lauren's perspective having endured years of people judging her and taking a dislike to her because she is transgender, that it's a natural assumption for her to make that if somebody new dislikes her it's because they disagree with who she is. Almost as if that kind of mentality is conditioned to her because that's what she has experienced for so long. Like, people need to understand that. Yes it might be unfair but after what she's been through I think it's understandable and that she can't really help but feel like that since that's all she knows.

I'm not going to sit here and say I don't question Ron's mentality because there's alarm bells going off constantly for me, but I don't disagree she would be difficult to live with, I'm just saying people need to understand that from her perspective it would be natural to assume that someone would dislike her because she's transgender...if that's basically the reason she's been given half of her life what else would she know?

Its not a natural assumption to jump to at all. Espcially as she gave no real back up reasons for this pretty heinous accusation. I think she mentioned his age as a reason why she figured hed be bigoted against her. which ironically is a little bigotted too. I respect the fact shes been through hell and highwater to have a sex change. I also respect the fact she has probably been bullied like hell. But its wrong to jump to conclusions like that and she should be told that. for her own sake and for rons sake. it will be interesting to see how this develops if there is no more to this story than meets the eye....lets see if ron does have an issue, bbut lets see too if lauren has issues with older people
