Nothing good on
Let’s flop onto the couch and watch a good old cop show mystery comedy soap non-binary top surgery conversation.
The BBC has been criticised over an episode of Casualty which shows a non-binary character discussing top surgery.
A what discussing what? A woman discussing non-medical mastectomy.
The episode, which aired at 8.20pm on Saturday on BBC One, includes a character discussing their “top surgery” and being presented with a surprise cake shaped like breasts.
Her. Her top surgery. She has breasts. She couldn’t have them cut off if she didn’t have them.
Arin Smethurst, the non-binary trans actor who plays Sah, previously told Metro: “Sah is really interesting for me to play for a number of reasons. I think that I’ve figured out more about my queer identity than they have when you meet them in the show.
“I am familiar and comfy with my sexuality and I’m uncovering new parts of my gender identity at a rapid pace. I am non-binary and also transmasculine, which means that I consider myself to lean more towards masculinity. I’m more boy than anything else, but still not a man.”
Above all she’s self-obsessed and convinced that she’s far more interesting than she is.
I’m not sure that, if I had had my breasts sliced off, I should be delighted with a celebratory cake in the form of breasts. Or, if I had my penis removed, delighted at being presented with a Swiss Roll in penile form. I would wonder whether someone was taking the ****. How did that ‘character’ react to being presented with such a cake?
Well that’s the biggest laugh I’ve had in days if not weeks. Thanks Tim!
Literally have to mop eyes now.
I forgot the two small, more or less spherical doughnuts accompanying the Swiss Roll… Sorry!
“I’m uncovering new parts of my gender identity at a rapid pace.”
It’s called growing up not striptease.
Tim, I can recommend the reaction I had to being brought flowers when I was in hospital following the hysterectomy.
I told my friends how appropriate it was to bring reproductive organs removed from plants to someone who has just had their reproductive organs removed.

tigger, as a botanist, I love that. My students perk up when I tell them we’re going to talk about sex. Then we talk about plant sex…
First Tim, and now iknklast; I don’t know how much more abuse my poor bladder can take!
Still, thanks for the belly laughs. Hubby is away, and I have been missing the humour.
We laugh, but Jazz Jennings did in fact have a cake topped with a penis made of frosting before he had his surgery.
