If someone were to get a gastric band and then talk about why they didn't enjoy being fat, and how different they feel now, people wouldn't really still call them fat if they were now of an average shape

I think this series is just giving ignorant people justification to get away with all sorts of insults about transgender people.

Why? She IS a male person. Yes she has had surgeries and such to resemble a woman but she is still male. And you cannot undo 50 years of male social conditioning.

I reckon if she just st fu for a bit about her transition and being male, people would actually maybe see her as a woman. But whilst shes constantly going on about it and...dare I say acting like a male person...a lot of people will see her as a male person. Compared to the likes of Nadia and Luke A...who barely spoke about it and for them it seemed being trans was a small part of who they are, whilst being trans seems to be ALL India is.
