It’s because she’s a caricature of a woman. It’s like drag queens. Taking those basic external qualities of a woman and exaggerating it. It’s quite insulting in a way because when trans women talk about how they feel like a woman, there’s rarely any depth to it beyond looks. What we look like is a mere drop in the ocean as to what it feels like to be a woman. We have generational trauma to contend with, we have our amazing physical power of creating and growing life, we have the layers and layers of society’s expectations weighing us down…there’s an ocean of depth to what it means to being a woman.

Ew Brad’s done a video about it all and in the Insta comments both Terence and Paul seem to be supporting him!! Brad was pulling a Tasha and saying there’s hours of filming and edited for drama for the audience, which I get but clearly he was actually awful to Shona otherwise the experts wouldn’t have booted them out! Also Shona’s post from last night says a lot. He’s a gaslighting POS and taking zero accountability. Vile long necked creepy man.

Also his tattoos are horrible.

They will never know what it means to be a woman in the same way I will never know what it means to be black. My husband is black, my children are mixed race, I can empathise and relate and fight for them…but I will never BE them. And it’s insulting to pretend otherwise. Trans women know what it means to be a trans woman but sadly the media would have it play out like they don’t recognise they don’t know what it means to be a woman.

Why does Ella constantly have her fake tits on display doesn't she realise that women generally don't do that?

I see hers more than I see my own. I can't get over how much work she has had done. The lips are horrendous. I don't know if she has just gone completely overboard trying to make herself look more womanly, but she actually just looks like a doll.

I can't help but compare her to the woman on Big Brother, who apart from being a literal giant, looks womanly without all the surgeries.

 

[Instafamousssss]

Obviously Tasha took to her stories to tell everyone how edited the show is and is using that as an excuse for her behaviour. Did they edit those god awful faces you pulled and those nasty words coming out your mouth? Nooooo. If it happened differently and Erica did something then tell us!!! Oh wait but she didn’t… you’re just a nasty cow.

Yea i didnt have a clue until the other people came into BB and were stood alongside her.

Let's not pretend though that there aren't plenty of women like Ella who have lots of surgery and have their boobs on display a lot of the time. She's like a lot of love islanders.

At least they’re actually women. Ella would die to be on LI except theyd never make it on there so they’ve settled for MAFS instead. I wonder how they’ll feel when they have to compete with a couple of other gay blokes

I think those women are a minority of wannabees who want attention though, the ones who want to promote themselves as models/influencers or Kanyes next wife. The average woman doesn't think its a good idea to have their breasts on display in inappropriate settings.
They were at a hotel having drinks or tea in last nights episode, not a nightclub or beach resort. The majority of women sitting in a hotel lounge would know it was inappropriate.

 

[potatopotato2988]

Ella goes on like to be a woman, you have to be fingering or fingered 24/7. And I can think of at least 3 hours a day that I’m not so she’s wrong there.

did Tasha actually say what it was that pissed her off about Erica or did she just say it was an Edit?! Because surely for her to get that mad she had to have a reason?! Unless she’s just a piece of toxic tit, which I think she is.

 

[NoseyParker24]

Completely changed my mind on Tasha after last night!
Also the hypocrisy of Ella saying "not a girls girl" when she sat flirting with another one of the girls husbands all ep!!

Saying it's edited because people have seen her true colours, everyone knows that the show is edited but you can't edit those faces and bitchy remarks.
Even when Erika got in the hot tub she was just looking for an issue.

 

[ChickenLicking]

Him labelling this as love! So toxic.

Writing as a person who was once on the receiving end of the following rant from an ex in a London branch of Wetherspoons: "YOU IGNORED ME THE NEXT DAY - AND I WAS IN LOVE WITH YOU!"

I'm autistic and never realised how abusive and controlling he was. I see that in Brad and Shona's relationship and she deserves much more.

Tasha just seemed to have the hump. I don't know how long the shoot was but it must have been uncomfortable for all involved. I wonder how drunk they all were?

 

[aimzalicious]

Just caught up, Team Erica all the way!

It's not even about being appropriate is it. Every born woman knows that if they go out dressed like Ella they will be bombarded with comments, they will be stared at in ways that make them feel uncomfortable and God forbid something happens to them, they will be blamed - because what did you expect to happen dressed like that.

Nothing makes it more obvious that Ella doesn't actually feel like a woman than his clothes. Because he clearly isn't subject to that constant nagging undercurrent of fear that women feel. Every day, just because they are women.

Trans women might be scared that something will happen to them because they're Trans - I'm sure it sometimes does, but it's not the same because they are not the same. You can see it in the confidence they have to stand for themselves. They expect to be listened to, they expect to get what they want, they expect protection.

Women want those things too - but we very rarely expect to get them.

But those women *are* women, not men wearing a costume of a "woman" designed by men and pornography. The difference in context is obvious

Plenty of women like Ella? No. You mean a subset of men.

 

[HeyBabes]

It's the lips that get me. Ella sounds half pished all the time because of the inflated-lip induced slurring. The turkey teef dont help either

 

[Nicnak21]

I'm calling it now Nathanial will end up with one of the new gay guys

EXactly this, and articulated much better than my post talking about generational trauma and the weight of society’s expectations on women.

 

[newaroundhere123]

100% this. Lost all concept of a normal woman

100% - if people looked at the research of what it actually does to people, they wouldn't engage with it, it's shocking.

Shona wanting to stay shocked me, he's really broken her down and he'll 100% dump her for some bizarre reason that the universe told him as soon as they leave, he's not doing it to 'save their love' this proves out my theory never to date a man with a long neck or a giant Adams apple *shudder*

Tasha acted like a proper head but then when I was her age I'd act like a proper head when I was drunk. I think Erica was baiting her all day with little digs and smug looks and the drunker she got the more she blew up and it ended like it did. I'm not a massive fan of Tasha but I'd have 100% taken her too. Erica isn't nearly as fit as she thinks she is and is clearly massively insecure to be acting the way she does - why do you have to make someone else feel bad to make yourself feel good if you're soooo fit and happy? She might feel all up herself banging poundshop for now, but she'll have things to work on down the line too.

I'm actually glad it's not on tonight, I need a break from Ella's shiny bangers and blow up lips
