You said “There’s no difference between the two” which means a persons sex determines (or has to match) their gender. It does not.

Again, as long as you keep insisting I care about his feelings, you are missing the actual point I am making. The only explanation here is you didn’t actually read what I wrote. Honestly, if you READ what I wrote, you couldn’t have written what you wrote.

So a person with a penis can’t identify as a She? I think they can. 

We agree, but you feel the need to argue a point I agreed with several times. The issue is that people take something good, like Trans Folks should get more representation and jump directly to Chris Pratt can’t play a video game character because he’s not Italian. That’s not worrying about protecting HIM. I couldn’t…

You said Sex and Gender were the same thing. That means that if you have a Penis you are male. That is not accurate. Sex is biological, gender is fluid. 

You can have, or have had, a penis and yet still be female. Stop being anti-trans.

Wow. I would have to work very hard to be that literal. I am saying the intention is good, but it’s being taken too far and that will cause a back lash and that will hurt the cause. You are so blinded by ideological literalism you can’t (won’t) see what I am saying. NOTHING you wrote has anything to do with what I…

And when did I say they should? I said it would be best of they were able to play more of these roles. My point was that people ARE taking, not a hypothetical slippery slope, are taking this way too far and attacking the very idea of acting itself. “No one should play something they themselves are not”.

Chris Pratt is being called out for playing Mario in the movie about the video game as not being Italian. I am not exaggerating when I say people take something reasonable and correct like Trans People should get more roles to only Italians can play Italians. People can’t do subtleties anymore.  

Which is LITERALLY what I said. Sex not Gender. 

Mmm So people are NOT born with genitals? Good to know. 

I love the idea of hiring trans actors for any role they are right for, but I also believe that this crusade against acting itself is counter productive. According to you Meryl Streep’s entire career was evil.

I was talking about sex not gender. 

Do you not think any actor could be capable of playing the role with sincerity and commitment? Would you also limit trans actors from non trans roles?

I should think the the story of a person born male who transitions into female, should be open to anyone who was born male or is currently female.

As a fan of Paul Thomas Anderson, I am ashamed to admit I have never seen Inherent Vice or Punch Drunk Love.

As a first year GenX who is married to a last year Boomer who watch NCIS and have all the streamers, I am proud to say I have never watched a millisecond of Bull.

How do you mention Staying Alive without mentioning Sylvester Stallone made it? That (And the fact is was a HUGE hit at the time) is the most interesting part of the whole film.

I bought a nice used car in summer 2020 for 28k. The same car - make, model, shadow sport package, upcharge color and miles I have on my car today - is for sale at the same dealer for 36k.

Some people are just defending the right to disagree in public. To be provocative. I disagree with what he said, and I think it’s fine that people cancel Netflix and that people are quitting Netflix. That seems the correct response, BUT I can’t see how preventing speech that offends you helps anyone, even those who…
