Don't want to hear about 'top surgery' on Saturday Kitchen!

Anyone seen Saturday kitchen today? Completely rainbow washed and then a guest mentions their top surgery. I watch it for food not political stuff but it was unwatchable today as its so over the top.

Pride Month is so 2022.

Self harm being glorified again

Yes. Next week: how to cut yourself.

I'm fed up with pride month.It used to mean something and celebrate love in all forms. Now it's just rainbow washing bandwagon nonsense. I now deliberately buy the non rainbow version of everything and refuse to engage socially or at work. I'm annoyed because aside from pride I love rainbows but now I am starting to get irritated when I see them on buildings, clothes, lanyards, linkedin profiles, road crossings. Yawn.

Re-educated by his younger staff who had "reclaimed" the word - despite them never being called it as an insult....

Indeed. The reclaimed word makes them special and so different to everyone else but because of its previous connotations they can also use it to claim victimhood, when they deem the need has arisen which is constant so we don't need to pay it any heed.

Who was on that had had top surgery?

DH, who isn't usually v bothered about these things, has just said 'Pride month? How can it be Pride month again? It only just finished the last one'

I think we are in for a long month.

Yep. Feels so bloody forceful now.

Had it on in the background not really paying attention but turned it over as soon as I heard "as a non-binary......"

I turned it on just as the Chocolate guy was saying how he felt uncomfortable with the word "queer" due to being bullied at school but then he was "re-educated" by one of his younger staff that it was perfectly fine now.

And switched off.

I’m white. I’ve never been called the n word. Do I get to reclaim that?

looking forward to seeing some black people on telly saying how the "N" word is now cool. Dont hold your breath.

Show quote history

Black people being told that by white people

James Martin was doing a pavlova with white chocolate, much more my kind of thing.

For shame, BBC. Families can't even watch TV without dangerous lies being peddled.

From Canada. But we know this is happening in the UK, too:

Yes, definite "reframe your trauma" vibes. I'd bet he still feels uncomfortable, he just can't say so.

That's the bit I saw too. It was horrible I thought - I saw it as a gay man being bullied again into accepting that he was wrong and they were right.
So he just has to put up with hearing "queer" despite how uncomfortable it obviously made him.

It really clashes with the feel-good believe people narrative.

Within the first few minutes of watching somebody was saying how transwomen led the Stonewall riots.

PronounssheRa · 01/06/2024 12:11

Glorifying mastectomies on the BBC is a particular low.

Pride month plus general election campaigning, wake me up when it's July.

Pride month only lasts 15 months a year, what's he complaining about?

greenlettuce · 01/06/2024 12:00

I am appalled that this is seen as acceptable as it is not in my view appropriate conversation for that time of day

It is also so offensive to those people who have had to have operations of this type due to cancer.

James Martin's trending on Twitter because so many people are turning over and letting the world know.

Are you listening, BBC?

I had to turn over straightaway - we have a whole month of this OTT hype, with probably much more to come on BBC. I can’t wait!
My gay son and his partner think it’s all nonsense - they just want to get on with living their lives.

TheFireflies · 01/06/2024 11:37

I turned over when they started to talk about how inspirational it would be for young people watching.
