How people keep missing this I do not know.

And he's part of a system that perpetually misgenders and oppress trans women and men. So he gets called out on it. Until this type of behaviour is rare trans folk are not under any obligation to give the benefit of the doubt to every single person who uses language that hurts us.

Oh go away, the victim was a woman, identifying her as male is not ok. Also good job never referring to her as as she.

Wait what a ton of this thread is based off her saying I can't even?

Yeah I agree . He deflects and seems to strongly imply that even if she was killed for being trans that's not a real hate crime cause

" If you really think about it, a hate crime is killing someone for a specific reason, being black, Hispanic, gay."

The juxtaposition of "We have no indication at this time to say this…

It was beautiful in a way.

That's a joke right? Writers have the least power in the film industry in terms of final product. Producers/directors/actors can change whatever they bloody want.

Hurt Locker was 2008. Released in the US in 2009 but was originally released elsewhere in 2008

Yep I'd say transphobic.

"We don't know whether she was murdered because she was Transgender"

For sure.

To be honest I don't even know if I hate the phrase as much as I just love to deconstruct its stupidity. Not lying I wrote a 2.5 minute short scene/film for my screen acting class last year that was entirely about some well meaning friend trying to brighten up her buddy's day by telling her that fabled advice…

You didn't.

Thank you so much you just gave me so much stronger reasons for hating that movie. I can't stand it but couldn't pinpoint one. All I could fall back on is that life is like a box of chocolates is a fucking stupid saying because you always know what you're gonna get, you're gonna get chocolates.

oh wow I thought you were being sarcastic... but you're not. Sad

I support the resentment! 100%

That was then, he'd have the whole crazy right wing machine running him now.

Right now with that current GOP? No you aren't not if you want to have anyone respect you as an progressive in any way. Sorry don't blame the system, blame the GOP.

The day Paul Ryan is a centrist is the day centrist will have to be retired as a viable word.
