I absolutely wasn’t offended, I was just informing you that it’s disrespectful. Didn’t mean to cause a whole big kick off, just wanted to raise it before others did it before realising.Thanks for the support people and I absolutely meant no offence at all. As it happens my Daughter’s best friend is trans and I love them very much. ‘She’ prefers to go by ‘they’ but certainly isn’t so militant or rude to people who get it wrong.
And we don’t know that Elliot wants to erase their past and considers Ellen dead. They may be extremely proud of their career as Ellen, I know I would be. And frankly I do worry about any person undergoing surgery, I work in the NHS am very aware of the risks.
Finally, the Karen insult is vile. To the poster who used it, you may want to check your internalised misogyny and agism.
I also wholeheartedly apologise to Karen.
Lots of love, Jameela xxx
