Apparently in response to online trolls.

And do you know what, for the first time I feel sad for India. It looks like brutal surgery. India said India had it done to be accepted as a female but that is never truly going to happen, if people are being honest.

The thing that struck me in CBB when India was jabbing India's finger at the woman present and yelling 'I am a woman' was how male India looked. There was a shot taken from behind and I read what I saw as a man with a ponytail. There was absolutely no getting away from the fact you were seeing a male physique.

I am still capable of feeling lots of other things for this individual alongside sadness but I do hate to think of people being so ill at ease with themselves.

It makes me sad that people will subject themselves to such brutalism, especially in pursuit of the impossible.

Everyone knows that IW is trans, they have transitioned in the public eye. This just makes IW a transperson who has had brutal surgery.

Curious how much some will try and erase their past - quite deluded imo

If somebody has body dysmorphia then they might never be happy with how they look regardless of surgery which is a real shame.

Gileswithachainsaw · 10/07/2018 15:02

This is just a way of blaming people for what actually proves that surgery doesn't do anything to help their dysmorphia and they always have to find some where to go surgery/alteration wise.

India did so because India wanted to do so.

Hopefully India is happy with the results.
Having plastic surgery myself is not something I could ever get my head round, but it's the individuals choice of course.

India clearly used BB money on surgery nothing to do with bullying . Aggresion on big brother poking other women demanding men fancied India was bullying.

I wonder who the trolls were? India blocks out anyone with GC views using 'blockers' so it can't just be people saying they don't believe you can change sex. Maybe big brother fans or something.

India has already had radical surgery to deal with the body dismorphia so it doesn't surprise me that more surgery followed.
It suits the old victim business I think to say "the bullies made me do it!". If it were someone else I probably wouldn't be skeptical.

India Willoughby had surgery because India Willoughy wanted it, nothing to do with trolls. Monroe B started it and now India has joined in. At least they both had their ops overseas, not on the NHS.

She was on 'this morning' with Holly and phil.
Could definitely see the difference and she did say there is still some swelling.
She had it as a result of trolling, and all I could think was welcome to being a woman in the public eye. It's not unusual to be harshly judged and treated badly.
No that it's OK of course, nobody should be treated like that and I wonder about the people who do it.
And like you say, it's not just the face, it's usually the stance or the socialisation that gives it away.

India was on This Morning today. Looks fresher but facially the same. Didn't Stick around for the interview.

I feel for anyone who goes through unnecessary surgery to change their appearance after being bullied.

Oh, I read this in the Mail. Sorry.

The few comments so far are saying they don't see a difference. I do, but it's interesting that the journalist hasn't described the reality of the surgery in any detail.
