Transvestive in Corrie
Anyone else think a transvestite who's chosen not to have the operation but still inhabit both male and female personas depending on the situation would be a good addition to the show. Be an opportunity to explore the characters double life as well as their own personal demons

I'd like Roy to return to his Norman Bates persona and start dressing up as Hayley.

A transvestite is someone who like the other genders clothes. But yes. In fact they've already done it. It was Haley cropper who had me starting to question my own gender.... |

Would they need to have demons (about transvestism anyway)?
You get people like Grayson Perry and Eddie Izzard who seem quite comfortable with how they are. Be nice to see somebody who was ok with themselves even if other characters would inevitably have issues. |

Don't you mean transgender. Transgender, means somebody who identifies differently from their out ward gender.

How soon forgotten clearly. I liked that character too. |

Audrey has already been out with one in recent years. Remember Marc Selby back in 2011.

Well there's a blurred line - I was thinking the character could sit on that line and be older so they were more likely to struggle with it.

I think a transgender teenager might be a good storyline. They've already done the adult perspective with Hayley and showed some of her struggles, but if they are going to do a topical storyline, I could see showing a teenager struggling with their gender to be a helpful storyline to a lot of young people.

Is there? I don't think I've ever seen that suggested anywhere else. Do you have any form of confirmation of that?

What they won't do and funny enough no one mentions it, is to bring in an outwardly racist or homophobic character. I'm not saying I'd like it to happen, but in the real world these people are about whether it be Manchester or London....

Well I have personal experience. I know several people who have male and female personas and whilst they admire and desire certain aspects of their opposite persona and do to an extent want to live as the women still prefer having their biological sex in certain environments even if it isn't there favourite.
Would a person who'd prefer to be the opposite sex, but did nothing about effecting the change, be classed as 'transgender'? Just my opinion, though, and I accept I could be wrong. |

Firstly, a transvestite has no desire to be a member of the opposite sex, just to dress like them. As a trans myself your ignorant post appalls me. Secondly, to call transvestites people who lead double lives is possibly even more offensive. |

What an utterly offensive, ill-informed load of old cobblers.

Secondly, to call transvestites people who lead double lives is possibly even more offensive. Also the double life stuff isn't a purely trans issue. Many people with desires that may be considered unusual by other people do still hide them (something like 70% of gay men hide their sexuality from colleagues) |

Have you heard the expression : "When you're in a hole, stop digging"?
