Seahorse BBC2 now

[Hirsutefirs]

I wonder what the viewing figures are, for stuff like this: www.jeaniefinlay.com/seahorsefilm

I’m not going to watch it, for a start.

Also not watching - I'm assuming it will do a sterling job at peak transing several more people though...

[Hirsutefirs]

Freddy is 30 and yearns to start a family but for him this ordinary desire comes with unique challenges. He is a gay transgender man.

[Hirsutefirs]

I’m not watching it, but I financed it modestly, by buying a TV licence.

There must be something on YouTube I can watch.

[newtlover]

is no one watching it?
I kind of feel I ought to but not sure if I can face it

[bumblenbean]

I’m watching. It’s an uncomfortable watch so far ...

[newtlover]

let's hold hands then
I'm just watching on catch up

[tartantroosers]

Dear God, only on the BBC. What are we becoming?

[bumblenbean]

Highlight so far - transgender man and male partner attending ‘The London Women’s Clinic’ 😏 to quote ‘create the kid’

[newtlover]

he really doesn't pass as a 30 yo man, more an 18yo lad

[FabulouslyGlamorousFerret]

Does Freddy work? I missed the first bit

[Soontobe60]

So Freddie's can't cope with having a period and carrying tampons. How's afresdie going to feel when carrying a real live foetus?

[Michelleoftheresistance]

What is this 'increasing hostility'? I know a lot of exasperated women are talking about women's rights but the hostility I'm really not seeing, never mind the escalation.

Escalating racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, yes all of that....

[Soontobe60]

And by some miracle Freddy is able to keep his jeans on for an internal scan 😱

[tartantroosers]

Sorry, I don't get it. They're going to "flood your uterus with good quality sperm" - these are two blokes, no?

[Mildpanic]

Is this mildly more interesting than the usual brexit issues on gmtv? That’s all they talk about, brexit or the transgender debate. Am I missing anything?

[boredboredboredboredbored]

It's bullshit therefore won't give the bbc y viewing figure. Seahorse my fucking arse.

[tartantroosers]

I'm just waiting for Bercow to pop up behind the bed- "ORRRDAAAAAH".

[newtlover]

autoandrophilia?

[truthisarevolutionaryact]

I'm watching and it's really interesting. Freddie comes over well so far - quite self deprecating. I'm not sure how much Freddie has thought through all the implications but how many parents do?

[Soontobe60]

@tartantroosers
Freddy is female. Presenting as male. Still has all the reproductive bits.

[Sallycanwait1]

I missed the beginning.

Why aren't they making the baby the trational way? Is the partner also not a traditional man.

I hope they don't have a girl.
