Being traumatised by your own gender identity is completely different. India has years of baggage behind her that clearly hasn’t been resolved - so yes, I’d argue she slightly edges it on the scarred past front.

It always amuses me how someone in India's position will always get support and sympathy from some people, regardless of how rude she is, how ridiculously insincere she is and how stupid she looks. Everybody has issues in their life, you can't pretend to understand India's just because she talks about it all the time, because you have no idea what issues other people are struggling with. And after watching her on TV for less than a week that's a MASSIVE stretch to claim you know who "edges it" on the trauma front.

She has placed herself on TV and shown us all what a vain, self-centred person she is, she has said her son is really struggling with her transition, and she thought the best way to handle that would be to dress like a twenty year old on Celebrity Big Brother.

If she's looking for sympathy from me, she can find it in the dictionary between sh1t and syphilis.
