[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

was this borderline transphobic?

idk ‘prick’ just doesn’t seem like a gender neutral insult to me and something you are much more likely to say to a man

[Wizard.]

I did kind of think that tbh you don't usually call a woman a prick.

His "Dickhead" comment was made to a man not a woman so he sees her as a man not a woman

disgusting transphobia from the "Forum pinup"

This modern use of "phobia" is a bollocks term, is there any indication that Andrew has an irrational fear or aversion to India because she's trans? No.

If Andrew sees India as a man, as you say he does, then tough - just because someone wants to identify as they please it doesn't mean they can force others to think how they want them to as well. India grew as a man, she's a man who's had surgery and feels that that she's a woman inside, that's all.

India's "phobia" of drag queens is far worse than any other in the house because it's a lie, it's jealousy that someone's stealing her thunder, taking her preachy self-righteous limelight. She's a crap example of a human being and will do trans people no favours with her behaviour.

Great post.

At least 90% of people claiming a "phobia" need a reality check, in my opinion.

FFS give me a break!!!! . Women get called male insults all the time and this isn't the first time in BB history .

You're basically clutching at straws and you're falling for India's victim card .

you took the words out of my mouth

[BBDodge]

I'd call her a c word. Would that be better?

[Gusto Brunt]

India could drive a Priest to swear. She is an appalling housemate and person.

[Livia]

Oh please... Something else they're not allowed to say to India? She IS a prick. And she's also a 'see you en teee'. There... two genders covered.

I'm sick of this ! . Men get called Bitch and the C word all the time and women get called what Andrew called India all the time as well .
People should get over it .

Only our Livia

I've often heard women be called dickhead not so much Prick but still though depends on the person, where they're from etc For example Gav calls my boy all the time, it's just a thing where we're from to put boy at the end of sentences

Stephanie McMichael was called a prick!

[Peppermint]

He also said that he has always seen her as a woman, so can't really disagree just because of the word 'prick' when it's not gender specific

[LemonJam]

I've called women pircks before. I wouldn't say it's a gender exclusive insult.

[waterhog]

great vocabulary - I feel like some poetry - going to do one on on my fav desert - spotted ????

[LemonJam]

Perched for waterhogs poetry about throbbing cock.

[Daniel-X]

I've called my friends pricks before in arguments/as a joke, I don't consider any insult besides 'bitch' 'slag' etc. gender specific really.
