There was a time when the UK Soap “Coronation Street” was enjoyable. It portrayed working class life in a suburb of Manchester with a degree of gritty realism and humour. But the times they are changing and I stopped watching it around 1985.
It’s now got it’s own “non binary” person!
Coronation Street star Shobna Gulati has revealed that she now identifies as non-binary. The actor, who played Sunita Alahan in the ITV soap, said that she only recently realised there was a term to describe the feelings she had had all their life.
Speaking to Kaye Adams on her How to be 60 podcast Shobna, 58, explained: ‘I’ve become more happy describing myself as a person. What do people call it now? Non binary. So, I suppose that’s who I am.’ The star, who now lists her preferred pronouns as ‘she/they’ on social media, continued:
‘I’ve never had a word for it, but I’ve learnt from our younger generation what that might look like in terms of a word, because I know what it feels like in terms of being me. All the way through my life I’ve never had the words for that and I’ve never managed to explain that and I suppose my immediate family have not really thought about it.
I have a word for it. Mental illness. The worst bit is when the media plays along and uses the “they” pronoun to describe this confused woman. This is particularly unfortunate as it indulges the cognitive dissonance. I wish Ms Gulati well and of course we have to remember that she is a profession based entirely on dress up and make believe.
