dr who and the politically correct script writers

That's not how I read either your post nor that of day6

If do not spend time on a daily basis telling people that I am heterosexual & must not be observed, treated differently, treated badly, treated better etc etc.
Sometimes I think some humans who have changed gender or are bi/ trans etc are more sensitive to perceived slights & therefore sometimes become more outgoing & flamboyant in a defensive way, if that makes sense.
Much like a very shy person will either avoid people or adapt a persona as a protection. I can’t explain it exactly, it’s sort inverted behaviour creating a shield.

And my daughter and her wife don't spend time explaining that they're contentedly gay.
No "flaunting and hyping" - which was day6's term.
That annoyed me but you found it not only acceptable but praiseworthy!I

Good posts Day6 and Bridgeit I know exactly what you mean and are saying.??

You’ ve lost me now !what did I find Praisworthy,?
I have all manner of friends I don’t care what anyone is as long as they are not cruel, dangerous, violent ,two faced , non tolerant etc etc,

Thank you Lemongrove

mcem you have no need being so defensive about your gay DD....nobody is saying anything at all about her after all.

Brilliant Day6 after an unpleasant post would seem to indicate approval!
And lemon it's less a case of defending my lovely daughter and more a case of objecting to sweeping generalisations.

You’re making perfect sense to me Bridgeit.

As it happens one of the loveliest weddings I attended was a ‘Gay wedding’ , but it is not something that needs more or less attention or mention than an opposite sex wedding (imo) ie I would say I am invited to A& Bs wedding not I’m invited to a Gay wedding

I absolutely agree Bridgeit. I often do agree with your posts. Hence my confusion over your apparent endorsement of the earlier post in question!
However, I rarely agree with posts from Day6!

Thanks NFKdumpling, I don’t always have the right way with words , which can be confusing ( even go me?)

Mcem??

It may be that Day6 feels the same way about your posts mcem but is too polite to say so.
Most of us have some things in common when it comes down to it, in fact I agree with just about everybody on here at different times and on different subjects.

Bridgeit I do not know if you identify with any minority group or not. But if you have spent a large part of your life being wary of people because of who you are you can get quite militant or else you can just crumble.

I probably seesaw between the two, but thank you for your comment Pecs .

Imagine the scriptwriters meeting for last nights episode (18/11), what political/ethical subject haven't we covered??? Let's cover A****n" and the nations shopping habits, this should be escapism, not preachy tv.

Having been a lifelong Dr.Who fan, through my childhood, then with my C and GC, I am struggling with this series and shall probably end my Dr Who "journey"

In what way was last night’s episode preachy about shopping habits? Perhaps there was a message about automation and humans being replaced by machines but hadsn’t this always been a theme of science fiction? Nothing more chilling than seeing a determined robot/Dalek/ Cyberman walking towards you.
We actually thought the veiled/obvious reference to a well known online shopping giant was quite funny.

Bring back the Daleks, Cybermen etc.
The show is missing those “hide behind the cushion” moments.
Whilst the Rosa Parks episode was good and educational, in my humble opinion the rest have been overly “preachy”
