Because again, it was never supposed to be loyal to the actual historical figure, it was supposed to be “Scarlett Johansson lesbian scene” movie.

So when are we casting Jennifer Lawrence as J. Jonah Jameson in the nest Spider-Man movie?

He’s dead.

It makes complete sense when you realize it wasn’t originally supposed to be about trans people or gender identity at all. It was a random story of what they saw as a butch lesbian crossdressing as an excuse to do hot lesbian scenes with Scarlet Johannson. It was only when they got backlash for misgendering the lead…

You’re the one who’s lying:

Yeah, I was kind of thinking this when reading the article. (I’m a guy but am insecure about my gut)

How would he be able to contact people in a regular jail cell.

There’s no good reason for torture.

Oh god, I forgot about power ranking comments. Somehow fans of every team were convinced their team was being sold short.

Literally every region I end up rooting for gets screwed. I’m down to Eastern Europe, hoping against hope.

To my untrained eye, Croatia or England probably won’t win but have a chance. Neither Belgium or France looked THAT amazing.

I was really hoping for a non-European, non-South American team to do well (preferably African). Went to non-Western European and non-Brazil, Argentina  Uruguay South American team and am now down to Eastern Europe. Go Croatia/Russia! 

I think they’re not considering the potential reward but I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.

Did you even read what I wrote? I did. There’s not much on him. He’s not some super well-known figure, doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page. Had you read much about him before this controversy?

Didn’t he also skip a Republican debate, have his own event which had proceeds go to charity, then not do so until he was called out on it?

But she didn’t. You literally just said it was a $50 million net loss, with a large built-in fanbase. And why couldn’t she just play a supporting role?

Uh, what? I did look it up and I couldn’t find much on the historical figure outside the movie. After I made that comment, I continued to look it up and I found one thing that made it sound like this person was probably trans, but still not a sure thing: http://old.post-gazette.com/obituaries/20030109gillp4.asp

Thanks for the explanation! I agree with the whole trickiness of applying identities to past figures. After reading up more on Gill though, there does seem to be a lot of evidence he was trans.

I know this was reprehensible, but it was so incomprehensible, I can’t even tell how bad it was.

That is way more than 100. Are you actually serious with this thought? There are at least a couple million.
