I wonder what the viewing figures are, for stuff like this: www.jeaniefinlay.com/seahorsefilm

I’m not going to watch it, for a start.

Is Freddie in a relationship with CJ? I’m not understanding that part.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 10/09/2019 21:33

I think the partner wasn’t born Male.

CJ is also a woman near the beginning he said we both have uterus

SlowasaSnail · 10/09/2019 21:38

Hang on. Has CJ got a baby as well? I’m confused.

Lesbian couple have baby via sperm donor shocker. Not watching.

tartantroosers · 10/09/2019 21:45

The Airedale seems quite well adjusted tho.

tartantroosers · 10/09/2019 21:46

Oh go on, watch it. The banter will be good :-)

DobbyTheHouseElk · 10/09/2019 21:50

Changing the maternity notes to people?

carly2803 · 10/09/2019 21:52

turned it on, thought it was about seahorses

turned it off.

ritzbiscuits · 10/09/2019 21:52

@DobbyTheHouseElk I know! I was shocked at that - ridiculous!

Mildpanic · 10/09/2019 21:53

Oh good god, I’m exhausted just from the commentary from mumsnet. Cannot bear the thought of wasting any brain cells on this.

Dec2019mumtobe · 10/09/2019 21:53

@tartantroosers I think it's a Fox Terrier, unless it identifies as an Airdale? 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🤔

Very difficult watch for women who struggle to conceive.

Moonmelodies · 10/09/2019 21:56

going to "flood your uterus with good quality sperm"
Is that some kind of chat-up line?

newtlover · 10/09/2019 21:57

yes- enraging I imagine
what age was he when he transitioned? he seems so young

tartantroosers · 10/09/2019 21:58

Dec2019
I stand corrected - it's a lovely dog though, isn't it? Maybe there'll be a follow up in which the dog decides to adopt

Jenzenn · 10/09/2019 22:00

I don’t get why he wants to carry the baby if it emasculates him.

tartantroosers · 10/09/2019 22:00

Yes, it would be difficult to watch if you were trying to conceive. According to our ingenue: " it's soooo easy for other people- all they have to do is have sex". Well dontcha know.

FooFightersFan · 10/09/2019 22:03

jenzem I was thinking similar. If he was so unhappy with being a woman, why is he subjecting himself to being pregnant.

Sallycanwait1 · 10/09/2019 22:04

Watching him get the scan dh commented that no man would react like that.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 10/09/2019 22:06

Yes, it would be difficult to watch if you were trying to conceive.

I'd imagine people who watch this won't be watching it because they is brave and stunning, but because of the freak show value.

I'm surprised it's on the BBC and not a cable channel alongside "too fat to move", or "the man with a tree for a head".

I find myself feeling a bit sorry for Freddy dealing with all of these internal inconsistencies: wants to be a man but wants to gestate a baby, wants to appear in a documentary but wants anonymity....

I just wish Freddy had thought about the impact on the baby in all of this

DobbyTheHouseElk · 10/09/2019 22:06

His voice is grating. Not sure why he’s doing it if it’s so torturous

newtlover · 10/09/2019 22:07

I've just seen him complain that 'no one tells you about being pg...'
well, that's because you turned your back on the people who would have told you
