I’ve been someone’s ‘girl experience’ – here’s my warning to Celebrity Big Brother’s Ella
It sound like she wants to try sushi for the first time; it’s so flippant.
As far as I’m concerned, questioning your sexuality is as natural as breathing.
Still, when I heard Ella Rae Wise’s remarks on Celebrity Big Brother last night, I sighed.
Talking to influencer JoJo Siwa, drag queen Danny Beard and presenter Angellica Bell, she said: ‘I want to have a girl experience.’
JoJo responded: ‘They say, if you have the thought that “I wonder if I’m gay”, then you’re gay.’
Ella replied: ‘Oh god, I’ve had that thought quite a bit.’
Having been in Ella’s position – uncertain of my own identity – I sympathise with her wanting to explore her sexuality with another woman. But I’ve also been the woman targeted by the curious person seeking a ‘girl experience’.
So I find her remarks a double-edged sword.
