It’s the Apple thing here too I think. They see Apple as a sexy brand maybe? Of course the GG are notorious for being easy to manipulate with enough money....

I mean it’s almost like the GG wants famous people to show up on the telecast and help ratings... 

“It’s a simple concept: include trans folk on and behind the screen when you are making media that portrays them.” We agree here at least. 

You’re being literal by saying over and over that I care about Chris Pratts feelings. You said it numerous times. That you think this example was more than just an example. You don’t understand how comparisons, or citing an example, work because you are overly literal. Like all ideologs.

“This is classic, unadulterated concern trolling.”

Listen, go ahead and over play your hand and demand that only Italians play Italians and only Jews play Jews and so forth and you will lose the real justifiable battles too. That also means that Italians can ONLY play Italians and Jews can ONLY play Jews and Trans people can ONLY play Trans people, and that seems…

If they are exactly the same thing, then YES it does.

I assume then that you can’t read what I wrote. That your mind is changing my meaning over and over again. The fact you think I was talking about the effect on cis white guys is literally crazy at this point. good luck.

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.
