'I didn't understand what transgender was' www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-48453164

Look at the film.

Wife talks about mourning.

Transed partner talks at length about how they now do everything together and are so close.

There's more I'd add but I don't want to be deleted.

I'm glad they appear to be very happy; I feel terribly sad for the wife.

Those poor kids, they love their parents, what choice do they have but to be supportIve. I just can’t see this as positive....why not be a man and wear make up?

It's supposed to be about how the whole family dealt with the transition but all they talk about is the trans person. And in every bit of the film the trans person is in they try to dominate the scene, from sitting on the couch with there legs up in the partners space to being the person who has to jump across the whole family, to pushing in front of the group when they are out.
Can we think of another group of people who try to dominate physical space.......

Now, now ladies...we're being given a lesson here on how to be dutiful wives and should be grateful for it. If this family can become closer through their understanding and love for each other, we can all become good people like them.

BBC should not get the licence fee. They don't represent women.
I never thought I'd be saying that.

Why didn't the girl introduce her other brother?

Kids are very accepting, that's what I see here.

'Now a female' - just no.

Neurotrash felt exactly the same

And wondered about the constant togetherness . Would be interested in a follow up in 5 and 10 years.

But also feel there is just no balance at BBC anymore. They would never show the struggles of an abandoned trans widow in the same prominent position on website. Always uplifting and positive. Move on nothing to see here.

What happens when Charlotte wants to join the all-women gym class?

The statement that really caught my eye was the transwoman saying:

"So as a family we're kind of joined at the hip, we're with each other 24/7"

That didn't strike me as very healthy and reminded me of other closed groups.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-hampshire-48439442/gym-class-where-muslim-women-can-take-off-their-hijabs

And then the BBC shows the requirement for sex segregation as entirely positive when for religious reasons. You can't have both BBC

I'm starting to think that The Freedom Program should just be mandatory.
