Heartstopper - Netflix

[MrsBooks]

Binged it, loved it, binged it again to Shazam all the music!!

Anyone else watched it?

Gay, geeky teen falls in love with supposedly straight, popular, rugby playing lad. Just very sweet high school drama.

@Simonjt I'm probably just being thick but who is the straight male character?

Tao

Oh I see. I wouldn't think he was straight though, I assumed bi, as he's having sex with someone with a penis.

Tao identifies as straight because he sees Elle as a woman. Outside arguments about whether or not trans women are women, in Heartstopper Tao is a trans ally and sees Elle as a woman and regards himself as the token straight friend.

Does he identify as straight? I don’t recall him ever saying that. But he isn’t, because as previously mentioned, he’s shagging someone who has male genitalia.

he refers to himself as Charlies's token straight friend.
he regards Elle as female
he regards himself as straight

what you personally feel about the trans thing doesnt change that in Heartstopper Tao is written as straight

Exciting news!

Presumably they’re struggling with cast availability to do a full final series.

So exciting!! X

I've been rewatching this again. I'm not ready for it to end! Kind of gutted there won't be more series but can understand why it needs to be wrapped up in a film due to everyone aging up and other commitments.
