That's a shame, it would have been really brave if they had done a story line addressing the issue of groups of girls all suddenly becoming trans and the high proportion of ASD children that are become trans. Issues that are never addressed in the media. It's never spoken about why so many children are becoming trans and whether parents and schools should be indulging something that can be so damaging.They often have storylines where a woman changes her mind about an adoption or abortion because she was just MEANT to be a mother (like all women are!); or where adoptive parents are treated as glorified babysitters. I think the surrogacy storyline is at least partly because of that. I can't see things going wrong for Brooke either unfortunately. It was written in because the actress decided that she is "non-binary" and is being encouraged in this by her celebrity parents, who already have another "non-binary" autistic child. Unless she changes her mind in the real world, Hollyoaks backtracking on it seems unlikely
Oh yeah I was a bit with that one. They sent the trans woman to a female prison and she was getting bullied and beaten by the mean trabsphobic female inmates.Interesting because a few weeks (months?) ago it was posted here about a Hollyoaks storyline involving a transwoman being attacked in a female prison and it made me do the biggest eye roll.
Tbh, it could happen, Sally's a soft older person. There can be some very hard very mean women in prison. It wouldn't have made sense for Sally to go to prison and be a preditor or bully. They wanted her beaten up and in hospital, so that was the obvious story line. If anything it supports that trans people need their own space, they don't fit in with either female or male prisons. If she had gone to a male prison and got beaten up, it would reinforce that trans people should be in women's prisons.
