10.41pm: Uh oh! Ron and Lauren are having it out in the kitchen. She's not happy

[erinp5]

1.04am: Who is Spider, Lauren

[Mrluvaluva]

The funny thing about her is that she takes some things so seriously and is quite deluded in some of her thinking. Her heart is in the right place though.

I'm just adding all this to my list of how to win BB next year 8) repeat several times you have no friends 9) dress like a clown 10) be ditsy and unintentionally funny.

What was that line in my poem....

To win big brother it's clear to see
You need a bit of sympathy.

Actually by law she is a woman. She can change her birth certificate, her passport, her national insurance details and she can also enter into a civil partnership with a man if she chooses too. See the Gender Recognition act 2004.

You don't need, by law, a womb, child bearing hips, birth canal or ovaries. You just need to have lived your life as a woman for atleast 2 years.

Making a law saying it's true to make people feel more accepted,Does'nt make it true.Unfortunately for her,She can never actually be a woman.She can say she is,The law can say she is.She still physiologically is'nt though and never can be.

Im not sure, but I would think shes still a man on her birth certificate, I dont think trans genders can change that ,not sure about passport either

I'm not sure tbh.Maybe,Is'nt your Birth Certificate who you were when you were born?Passport could be different.

You are allowed to alter your birth certificate if you have gender reassignment. It is a rare edition exception to the general rule.

All other official documents, such as passport, reflect your new gender.

Utterly dysfunctional lot. No wonder Lauren is so screwed up.

But her chromosomes say she's male. They haven't found a way to alter that yet. Lol!

If I was speaking to Lauren, I wouldn't dream of saying anything to imply she was anything other than female. It would be disrespectful.

However, on an internet forum we can express our views. In reality this is a man who, for purely psychological reasons, has been surgically altered to become a "faux female" but has to take hormone tablets, for life, to prevent the male characteristics from showing through.

This is a bit different from a female who has developmental disorders but who is genetically still a female.

Yeah,You are right,But she would have developed as female,Just with some mutations which caused her to not develope properly.Lauren was born a man with no female organs whatsoever.Getting her body hacked up and things added and taking oestrogen tablets will never change the fact that she does'nt have any female organs and was born a male.Nothing can change that.It's all cosmetic.Being a woman is more than just a pair of breasts,If you are born male,no amount cosmetic work can change that.A transexual can never fully appease their desire to be the opposite sex.

Physically she is a altered male who is neither a woman, or a man any more. I call that a shemale.

I was just being accurate, scientific. Call her female if you want. Arguments can go on forever though if you are not accurate.

Congrats on highlighting your own transphobia

Jack please either leave these daft comments out or switch off. It's getting tedious. We know your views. Please allow others to think for themselves.

Why would I switch off because people are making transphobic comments? Switching off isn't going to stop them

People can think for themselves but if you are going to make an overtly transphobic post, I'm going to pull you up on it because quite frankly it's disgusting and cannot be justified. It's not a 'matter of opinion'...it's just wrong and highly offensive

What is getting tedious is the amount of discriminatory posts on here

Lauren is great. I think she will make the final for sure.

[Vanessa]

I think it's normal to disagree sometimes. But surely everyone can see Lauren is really nice deep down? And a great housemate as well.

Lauren is anything but "nice deep down" she is a product of her parents' insatiable greed for money and dubious "Fame", she has inherited and exhibits all of their greed and double their desire for fame, she will stop at nothing to achieve both.

To be fair most celebs are like that. She's been nothing but nice so far. Bless her!
