A reality television programme kicked off a debate about whether it's discriminatory or transphobic to refuse to date a transsexual person.
The argument started on UK reality television show Celebrity Big Brother, where minor celebrities are locked into a studio made to look like a house, then filmed 24/7.
As might be expected in such a situation, tensions run high and conversations can be fractious. One of the housemates is India Willoughby, a TV journalist who had an established career as a man before transitioning to become a woman.
Willoughby asked her housemates about their dating preferences, and the resulting conversation kicked off a social media storm.

Bet your ass it's discriminatory. So call me a bigot. Better question: Is it discriminatory to beat the fuck out of one when you find out it lied and you thought it was a she? Yep. Check me in on that one too.
