Should he have outed himself?
Luke is the latest contestant of Big Brother UK. After telling the audience he didn't intend to out himself to the housemates, he started telling people on the first day*! Hubby is disappointed as he wanted the world to see Luke as a man, not a transman. I figure he went in there wanting to tell people and be able to contribute to trans visibility, which is something I respect.
I'm not asking 'Should we be entitled to tell Luke how to live his life?', I'm asking 'What are your thoughts on transmen in the media and how would you have liked a situation like this to play out?' Luke. *the girl he outed himself to is hot, which probably explains his indiscretion.

*I was like 'WHERE do all these porn star teachers come from????' which astonished my hubbie as, of course, I've been in the sex industry AND I've been a teacher. It must require similar skills or something...

I'm a huge BB fan but have only seen the American version. I watched some of the clips of Luke telling his housemates. I'm not sure how it will effect his chances in the game. I think it would have probably been better to wait. If this is the first week of BB, the houseguests usually vote out anyone that stands out in some way. Since they don't know each other well they tend to focus on what is said and anything that makes a HG stand out. There is little to no plotting and planning in the first week and its rare that any alliances have been formed so that first week or two, guests that usually lay low can get through the first vote.

The only thing that Luke 'should' do is to do what feels right for him. Assuming that's what he did, then I believe he did the right thing.

It gets betterrrrr... not. This was said by one of the commentators (a former housemate herself I believe) about Luke's decision to out himself - "Any longer and it would have looked like oh you are covering up, you are turning into a bit of a liar, he handled it brilliantly - everyone was so supportive!"
Er, sorry... wot??
