It’s about pp changing their gender identity on C4 now

Debaser12 "... wants to be a man because she doesn't like the attention she gets as a beautiful woman. It's almost like a form of self harm."

Yes, that really stood out for me.

Does Jackie expect her wife to be lesbian now?

MenstruatorExtraordinaire · 11/02/2019 23:08

That was just three people who were obsessing about their appearance spending great amounts of money trying to pretend to be something that they're not. I didn't see anything there that would change my opinion of the fact that the whole ideology is a nonsense and very selfish and self obsessed.

HollowTalk · 11/02/2019 22:56

It's all to do with the way they look, isn't it?

"That great city that belongs to me." Not to us. To me.

Cairo will never look like a guy. Their eyebrows and cheekbones will always stop that.

HollowTalk · 11/02/2019 22:54

I started a similar thread in television, I think.

Cairo is very similar to an anorexic, I think. Simon's wife deserves a bloody medal. Vicky (?) is another who is totally selfish - it's clear their family don't have much money but Vicky is spending thousands on a visit to America, while admitting they've done no practice on their voice, and involves their children in something like this which is clearly confusing them.

So the beautiful young woman has lost her relationship but feels happier in themselves because they superficially look like a guy?

Wow

Not watched it yet but I never understand how they can say they are "being their authentic self" and then have plastic surgery hormones voice and mannerism coaching etc. It is more like a never ending cosplay.
Your "real self" is the body you were born with.

Debaser12 · 11/02/2019 22:49

How did these types of people be themselves before cross sex hormones and cosmetic surgery?

So much work needs to be done for them to be ‘themselves ‘. ( looking at the guy wanting to change his voice))

Shows the difficulty of dating as a transwan. If you’re dating men, you basically are a fetishis for them which must be very dehumanising

I'm sure it is a form of self harm.

Debaser12 · 11/02/2019 22:32

Something the girl said made it seem like she wants to be a man because she doesn't like the attention she gets as a beautiful woman. It's almost like a form of self harm.

Heartbreaking for her and the young girls partner

That black guy is very masculine looking. Curious to see how he’s going to change. Actually all these pp are very nice and genuine but I wish they could just be themselves within the boundaries of gender expression and not have to go through this.

So far I've heard bla bla likes stuff that is stereotypically for the opposite sex then omg that must mean I'm trans! I put on a wig now I'm female!

OldCrone · 11/02/2019 22:24

Now a man who 'knows he's a woman' because he liked looking at women's shoes in his mother's catalogue as a child.

MenstruatorExtraordinaire · 11/02/2019 22:23

Yes it's irreversible.

Oh my god who's this next person....

I feel really sad for that beautiful young woman and what she’s going to go through.

MenstruatorExtraordinaire · 11/02/2019 22:17

That's what feminists have been fighting for for decades. I think with all this really gendered marketing that's been going on in the last 10 to 15 years people have just got really really confused.

MerryInthechelseahotel · 11/02/2019 22:16

Why can't people just wear what they want and read what they want etc Just stop the harmful hormones and surgery.

MenstruatorExtraordinaire · 11/02/2019 22:15

I can't understand why they can't see the disconnect of saying this is them being their true selves with having all this surgery and injecting themselves with hormones to change themselves
