That's all of the more reason why a Transperson will be selected.

BB love controversy.

Oh and Incels are ready made for BB, completely deranged and cannot self-reflect at all.

Someone just existing as who they are being considered ‘controversial’ is such a horrendous mindset

They've covered pretty much every possibility there which is good I guess but the Instagram/TikTokers? hhmmm

I hope the “cast the next generation of reality TV stars” doesn’t mean they’re just looking for influencers

Sounds a little like that but they also mentioned other things like age diversity, different communities etc so that's hopeful

How is an incel going to interact and be a team player??,but then again.... There's been all-sorts of weird previous housemates through history with mental issues. As i said before... I think producers enjoy it when they're a little unstable.

You do know that Nadia was only put in BB5 because she was trans, and so Davina could have a little " I know something you don't know" moment with the contestants that got evicted.
The amount of times Davina would reveal to some of the evicted contestants " Nadia use to be a Man " . She took such pleasure in revealing the bombshell ,that was basically the main focus like some cheap exploitation gag.

To make it worse Nadia went in there and kept it a secret , even when asked if she wanted kids ....instead of being honest she just said she 'can't have kids ' . She goes on to win the show mainly due to how her time in BB was orchestrated in her favour. I guess people found it funny for her to deceive the other hm's... Davina especially found it amusing .

It was all done in such weird way just to be controversial for ratings. If you're going to have a trans person....why must they keep their identity a secret for a joke ??.

Then Nadia's family awkwardly describe her as 'honest' , despite the fact she kept that huge secret whilst living with strangers.

I'm confused by this... this looks to me a screenshot from a LinkedIn profile. If its genuine, then that person doesn't work in that position anymore as shown in the October-November 2022.

Applications are still open. I'm not saying outreach by production to potential housemates haven't happened, I just would say this shouldn't be taken as a "hears what we're definitely casting" because there's still the application process open.

Why is it an issue for someone to keep their gender identity a secret? If someone doesn’t want to tell people, they don’t have to. Especially in a time like this when everyone is so hateful.

If you're living with a group of people for 3 months you don't think you should tell people your gender??.

As for your daily life basis you don't have to tell people,but I disagree with keeping it a secret at the expense of others.

i think everyone pretty much know what biological sex Nadia was lol

Whilst I'll agree some of the hm's had a feeling about Nadia, it was still a shock for some of the other hm's .....Ahmed didn't have a clue. And I don't remember Stuart ever knowing until later?.

[MTVN]

Don't see why Nadia should have told them tbf. It's not like the housemates are marrying each other, they're free to disclose as much or as little as they like about their lives pre-show

Oh come on she was used as a circus football to either laugh at or be shocked at . If they just let her be honest at the time then it would have had a better outcome for everyone. I know transgender was a new thing back then ,but the way they handled it didn't help.

They might not have been marrying eachother but they were sleeping close together,same room and living together for 3 months plus they were all getting drunk and intimate with eachother.

If you think it's fine to keep that secret??...then where do we draw the line. Will BB producers next have a contestant who pretends they are trans just for views ??.

Keeping her identity a secret , just reminds me of that awful reality show 'There's something about Miriam ' which was exploitive and unfair & immoral to everyone involved.

I never watched that series tbh haha so can't comment on the specifics of how the issue was treated.

As a principle though I really don't see why someone should feel obliged to tell the others if they're trans. Lots of housemates will have pasts that they didn't reveal to their fellow housemates. At the time she went into the house she was a woman so what does it matter if she used to be a man?

What rights specifically do they want that they don't already have?

"Everyone is so hateful"

Does everyone include yourself and all of your friends and family.

he means that people don't agree with all his views and so must be framed as hateful or phobic

Alf its a much easier way for a Gen Z or millennial to argue about stuff - less typing

will you let them live?

[joe199998293]

I’m hardly trying to argue with anyone. I just don’t see how someone keeping their trans identity hidden, has anything to do with anyone else. If they don’t feel comfortable sharing that in a certain environment, they don’t have to.

It baffles me why some people are so bothered about what genitalia someone has or how they choose to express themselves. Unless they choose to share that fact, it shouldn’t have anything to do with anybody else.

I don’t care if people don’t share my views, everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. I just don’t understand the big issue with trans or people not being open about it. I’m not trans myself, but if I was, I would be too scared to come out now, and especially 5/10 years ago. When I say that all they want is rights, they just want to be accepted, and not to be alienated, or everything about them have to be something to do with their gender identity. Trans is only ‘political’ because people against trans people have made it political. All they want to do is live their lives in piece, yet they just get constantly targeted by the media, leading to more and more people targeting them online, thus leading it to being political. Just let them be.
