Butterfly - anyone watching

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

Opening sequence got pretty much all the stereotypes in...

So likes makeup and my little pony, and hates football....

Well done for taking one for the team

Give us a commentary and it will save us the bother

Yep. He knows he's a lass because he likes sparkly things and hates football.

Here comes the metaphorical mermaid.

At aquarium and sees mermaid (I may be misgendering the mermaid)

No stereotypes so far...

Not watching but this it looks like cliche bingo from the trailer.

Not watching as can't cope with Anna Friel looking all pious.

...and decides he wants to be a dolphin I assume?

Now the wee boy is making "bitchy" comments about dads GFs tanlines - obviously a girl thing

Yep, all cliches so far. Should we move the discussion to telly addicts for a wider discussion?

Now we have the pink best, skirt and sparkly hair clip. Must be a girl ...

Twirling around the room in a miniskirt, pink top and a hairclip. Sinister music playing.... and cut to adverts.

Are we meant to think that pink clothes and pretty hair grips are innately female or that he's drawn to these things because he identifies as female? The message is that pink + sparkles = girl.

I'm watching. So far all glittery pink and cute curly lettering, as expected.

WTF was that mermaid about??

Should we move the discussion to telly addicts for a wider discussion

Well it is telly

It would be interesting what people think. We all know what it is before it started.

(i mean, apart from the obvious).

“Girls things”

It’s 2018 ffs.

Only girls wear earrings.

No Mermans then

(How I miss that! Will they have a Helga Iceberg, I wonder and Dr Wobbly)

He won't go to the boys' toilets?? He'd rather wet himself? I don't buy it.

Aaaand..... toilets

WTF - the school practically has unisex toilets!

Okay. Horrid trendy school toilets.

Why doesn't his mum just suggest he use a cubicle or do boys loos not have them?

In that I hate schools having those mixed toilets.
