There is a new transgender character coming to EE in the Autumn, do you think they will be one of Claudette's foster kids or a stand alone character? Do you think DTC is going down the right road with a character like this, as it has been done in other soaps before, however, never with a transgender actor as DTC has promised?

Cora looks like Roy Hodgson in a wig. Maybe she is the trans character.

Is it confirmed as a new character? Maybe they could go in that direction with Nancy? That would be a pretty interesting s/l.

So cant a woman dress in shorts and t shirt without being a transgender? Not all women have to be into makeup and dresses

Definitely, but this is soapland we're talking about, and DTC. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if he had this lined up for her. This is the Carters remember!

Nightwish do you think it's ok to make fun of trans people?

Nightwiah wasn't saying that at all. But it looks to me that you're spoiling for a fight on the subject

Hope it's a well thought out storyline and not a comedic one. It's going to be interesting to see how this goes, Corrie did it well with Hayley and Les's reaction, but it's 2015 and London, so we'll see what EE does.

Agreed. When I was much younger I was like Nancy, mostly wearing jeans and a leather biker jacket. A skirt? Never! Now I'm quite a bit older I'm very much a dress, or skirt and cardigan woman. I think people should be able to wear what they want. If a woman wants to wear "boyish" clothes like Nancy then fine. It doesn't mean she's trans. There are lots of women and girls like Nancy who won't be seen dead in a frock. Equally if a fella wants to wear dresses etc like Dylan on Hollyoaks then fine too. Lots of men and boys like to dress up in dresses with make up and jewellery etc. I think people are more open these days and less judgemental especially younger people.
I'm looking forward to the new trans character. If he or she is going to be played by a trans person then all the better. That's more realistic.

Vaslav stop going out of your way to try and get offended. If this was anyone other than your precious Cora you probably wouldn't comment.

Good point. I think most of us are guilty of assuming that transgender means male to female most of the time.
