I have cochlear implants and I tell people all the time, I quite like how she announced it as it wasn’t a ‘feel sorry for me’ or I have something wrong with me moment it was just a statement of fact. Sometimes I like telling people because it’s something that makes me special and different and I like being special and different, I’m proud of it! I honestly think it’s each to their own on things like thisSo my nephew was born deaf and has cochlear implants on both ears - I HATED the fact she made all the islanders sit down and announce it like it a big deal? I don't want my nephew to ever think he's 'different' I treat him exactly like i would any non disabled child. I really disliked the fact she made it a big statement. Yes, its great to see someone with implants in the media but I really think she over dramatized the whole thing. I would really hate it if anyone ever treated my nephew differently just because he has implants, he is the same as the rest of us. But that's just my two cents as someone who has a family member who is 'disabled'.
What are you talking about?Indiyah seems a bit like Kaz from last year. Quite aggressive and hostile and expecting men to fall at her feet without putting any effort in herself
Honestly I’d have to disagree because Gemma has had a lot of conversations with different people and has been equally rude in all of them which makes her come across as rude whereas Indiyah has notI find both Gemma and Indiyah to be similarly stand offish and rude. The fact that it’s okay to label Gemma as aggressive but not Indiyah despite them both being quite similar in approach is baffling. They both come across very entitled. Labelling people racist for having a different opinion to you is ridiculous, petulant and immature. This thread was ruined by this shite last year.
Well to be fair it might be a big deal to her and if she was comfortable letting people know about it directly from her than that's her choice. Plus she may have been asked to let everyone know by the producers.So my nephew was born deaf and has cochlear implants on both ears - I HATED the fact she made all the islanders sit down and announce it like it a big deal?
