Woman perusing someone not knowing they were a transman

Well, more the transman pursuing her. She's quite a traditional Irish girl, the trans fella didn't feel any obligation whatsoever to disclose his trans status. He knew she wouldn't be into it. Which I thought was wrong of him.

I know the guy who disclosed it was unpopular for that, but whatever his motivation, Filomena was definitely entitled to know.

Because it's pretty obvious if you have eyes. For starters he had that 'chummy' chat with Romaro where he helpfully told him how everybody knew and was talking about him behind his back. Unlike Marcus, who was telling him to his face because he's so honorable. He couldn't wait to out him! He's milking Romaro's anger, twisting the situation round so that he is the victim. He's all malice.

I felt the whole group were gossiping about Romario and leaving Filomena out which was very unfair. She deserved to know as she was developing feelings...
I think Marcus was right to inform her because Romario was not going to which is not fair.

However I suspect Romario was put in there precisely to force this kind of drama and Filomena was just a pawn in the TV producers narrative. She is the exploited one here.

@Terfragette69 "Was it just me or did none of them appear overtly political... As in tra?? Just ordinary people living their lives without shoving it down our throats??"

Yes, I agree, they did mostly come across as quite normal young people, not political etc.

I thought Campbell came across very well.

@DJLippy "He didn't tell her to be nice though he had malicious intent."

Why do you think that?

@Italiangreyhound He didn't tell her to be nice though he had malicious intent.

Both the black housemates somewhat on the outside of this group, and I don't know why that might be, surely it could be nothing to do with the colour of their skin could it? That's not very woke is it?

cistersofterfy · 07/05/2018 22:06

I liked it. Interesting programme. I think they did well to choose a broad range of views and identities and just shows the confusion about who we are exists for all of us.

Wrong for Romario to be 'outed' but then I also understand why Marcus did what he did as Filomena was being lied to. It shows how difficult a situation it is.

I told them there was too much snogging though so I might not let them watch next week

I watched this with my older daughters and it led to some interesting discussions about sexuality and gender Smile

@bellabelly "I do think Marcus (the two tone hair guy) relished the drama of telling Filomena. Have gone off him rather."

I think he was right to say something. He was the only one to speak to Filomena, it was her business too.

AfterSchoolWorry · 07/05/2018 22:03

Romario was definitely wrong. It's not ok to conceal material facts from someone you're romancing. That's high handed and disingenuous.

I enjoyed the programme though, more than I expected.

SayNoToCarrots · 07/05/2018 22:03

Romario was in the wrong to keep it from Filomena considering how clear she was on her feelings. It wasn't Marcus's place to tell her , and on Romario's birthday. I don't really get why Romario stripped off though.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 07/05/2018 22:03

What drama

Look how the guys in the pub just shrugged their shoulders and said things were different when we grow up and good luck

I do think wanting drama is something in manybof their lives

bellabelly · 07/05/2018 22:01

Well, that was not as totally infuriating as I expected it to be. See you all next week!

DumbledoresArmy · 07/05/2018 22:00

You would assume people of the lgbt community would understand & respect Romarios privacy

bellabelly · 07/05/2018 22:00

Lol, thanks @Juzza12! Grin

I do think Marcus (the two tone hair guy) relished the drama of telling Filomena. Have gone off him rather.

Italiangreyhound · 07/05/2018 22:00

@DJLippy "Why are they isolating the black transman? Is that anyone else's take on this?"

No, I'd say Romerio is in the wrong to come on to Filomena, quite openly and keep his trans history secret, IMHO.

MrsWooster · 07/05/2018 21:59

That was not good.

LikeAZombie · 07/05/2018 21:59

He outed him! How rude and nasty

DJLippy · 07/05/2018 21:59

Marcus is a total bellend why would he ruin Romaro's birthday like that?
