It's fine Livia, I just hate it when someone preaches that they have the freedom of speech when it's such a horrid remark like Will posted. Saying that a picture of a transsexual makes you sick, when that person probably wouldn't even have realised if it hadn't been pointed out to them isn't freedom of speech. It's a comment meant to offend and hurt.

I understand that Rob. I made my original comment because there is often a discussion on here about censorship and people's right to voice their own opinion. I actually agree with you.

1 in 8 black people are murdered?

Can I see the software you're using to store this data?

He probably means in South Africa by other blacks, or Detroit etc ditto.

They looked like they were getting on brilliantly.

And I looked at the comments and someone wrote:

"Makes me feel sick."

What a disgusting thing to say.

..I don't understand this thread..I mean in terms of LT because his remark was against the person/comment that was offensive..he just expressed it in a light-hearted way...he hasn't got anything to 'answer for'...

..a photo of what Arista/I don't understand..?..

Marsh. · 13-10-2015, 04:38 AM

To be fair, the image has nothing to do with anything tbh. You don't need to see what the person looks like to engage in a debate about acceptable language when it comes to transphobia.

If you're suggesting something could be in the image to account for the "Makes me sick" comment, then there isn't.

Unless, like me, he's disgusted by that hideous grey scarf.

It's not the image that's "upset" Will. It's the way people talk about transsexuals or any other minority group.

But I knew you had great fashion sense.

Oh I couldn't agree more.

Ammi · 13-10-2015, 04:57 AM

..Arista is right though..we have to 'go there' with what offends to be able to address prejudice/and prejudice which I presume EE are doing with the storyline...that comment was why/one of the whys of why the storyline is being written I guess...plus the nice fashion scarf angle as well..

No Hideous

Marsh. · 13-10-2015, 04:49 AM

Yeah, I suppose a link to the article or offending comment would've sufficed.

arista · 13-10-2015, 04:52 AM

"What do you mean? "

enders is meant to be East Of London
of course its made near the Big Brother house

The Writers want codgers getting angry

I still don't quite know what you mean in relation to the story.

But the person in question is a female to male transsexual. No men in dresses here. (Unless you count LT).

Yes it is, that said disgusting things are said in the internet every day, sometimes they are just said for effect or a "laugh", sometimes the person posting believes what they are writing, this type of comment will never be eradicated completely in real life or on the net sadly.

bots · 13-10-2015, 11:50 AM

returning the original post. People are perfectly free to express an opinion. "makes me sick" is a comment well within the bounds of acceptability. It may be a comment that one doesn't agree with, but that's life.

Kizzy · 13-10-2015, 12:28 PM

Is 'makes me sick' an opinion, if it's within the realms of acceptability why are so many taking exception to it?
It is what it is, a rather ignorant comment that begs the question ....why?
