It seems to be more common for male to female though (or am I way off base about that?) Certainly male to female transgenders are more vocal and seem to be making most demands about prisons, sport, shared changing areas etc. and being realistic men are more of a danger to women in general, women (in general) aren't much of a physical threat to men. I've been learning alot about all this recently through our chats and through Vicky and it seems like maybe the reason people are starting to worry more (mainly women i guess) is because of this whole thing now of a man just deciding he's a woman and that's that, it's not really transsexual like India is though, it's all still very confusing to me tbqh

Are we all in agreement that Kellie was a complete twat though?

They're not claiming to be the 'same'. Noone is the 'same' as anybody else. And 'trans' isn't a description of gender. A lot of issues with this are just semantics and confusion over categorisation. Trans women being referred to as women doesn't mean they are the 'same' as women born female, both can coexist as women and still be considered different.

Not sure why predominately gay members who are immersed in such topics think that your average jo public bloke will think the same as them when they come across a woman like India
its very intolerant of you tbh You can be dismayed that society is not as accepting as you are but to be angry and start name calling is to not understand the world you live in incremental acceptance my friends is the way it happens Boy George got all this abuse after Karma Chameleon Now he is a national treasure |

I understand what you are saying and I have had a similar discussion with my auntie yesterday who pretty much said what you did and she said I may feel different if I had had children, (she supports India btw she's not being nasty) but I guess my view is very black and write in a sense.

Kelly created much more controversy than India, that's a fact i'm pretty sure on. That was for a number of reasons including Kelly's background prior to appearing on BB, and the fact that she was early on in her development
My feeling is that many are being way over sensitive for whatever reason with respect to India. People have not been transphobic on this forum anywhere that I have seen. Not everyone is as clued up with whats "the correct" thing to say when referring to a trans person, and they are being insulted by the hounds when they haven't actually said anything wrong. It doesn't improve understanding of situations when that tactic is used, and it certainly doesn't encourage meaningful debate |

It's always the same whenever a transgender housemate goes in although I can't remember it being that bad for Luke A but that just might be not remembering much of that season.

Sort of, but she was going through hormones that happen following a sex change. She was a fantastic housemate and up there with Gary, Frenchy, and Leslie as a highlight of her series

Trans people go through exactly the same as us, and then some. It's ten times worse for them because they need to actually alter their body in extremely painful and emotionally scarring ways in order to feel happy in ways that a lot of us completely take for granted. On top of that, they are subject to ignorant comments by people who genuinely have absolutely zero idea what they're talking about. You aren't made to feel like a freak, or a creature, or a skidmark on society for being who you are on a day to day basis. LGBT people are. And that's why you're going to find people fighting tooth and claw to stand up for people who have to explain themselves every single day.

Kellie had it worse from what I remember. She faced a lot of people who both refused to see her as a woman but also questioned her motivations and thought it was a stunt etc. especially by going into the house so soon after announcing her transition. India hasn't had the latter at least
