When Hollywood produces a transgender film, you might expect LGBT activists to be happy their culture is being further normalized. No, the social justice warriors are annoyed because the actors aren’t transgender enough. The actor is even openly gay, but that’s not good enough.
Faster, please!
” No, the social justice warriors are annoyed because the actors aren’t transgender enough. ”
Well of course not! They want Mary,who was formerly Dick, getting bumeffed by Dick,who was formerly Jane.
We definitely do not have enough mental facilities!
“The Danish Girl” also received criticism for casting a man (Eddie Redmayne) to play a trans-thingummy woman. Never mind of course that the real Danish girl actually was a man who became a woman.
Again, the essential contradictions of the “progressive” mindset are on full display.
On the other hand – and particularly in this instance – who much cares if the trans-whatsit demographic wishes to “self-marginalize” or not?
Blacks and gays make a big fuss if they are not depicted in just the right way, and then can’t understand why Hollywood doesn’t make more films featuring them.

funny how this diversity dealio is totally a one way street…
“Riri is only the latest in Marvel’s effort to introduce more diverse characters
into their projects, including teenager Kamala Khan as Muslim Ms Marvel,
Miles Morales as a black Latino Spider-Man, a Latina lesbian Ms America,
The Falcon as the new black Captain America, and Jane Foster as the new
female Thor.”
i bet the new spiderman got bit by a radioactive v@gina.

Homosexuality and “marriage equality” are now considered normal by the majority in our nation. Even many conservatives approve, or at least say nothing for fear of being called bigots. Reasoned argument has been of little use in opposing this mania.
Now the next mania, normalizing transgender behaviour, is under way. How much insanity can a civilization indulge itself in before it decays and crumbles from within or is destroyed by its enemies, or both?
I think this nicely describes things:
“In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king, but, in the land of the insane, the half-wit is hanged.” Walt Kelly, “Pogo”
Back when they were first discussing decriminalizing sodomy, I sent off over $100. worth of telegrams (a lot in those days for a school secretary) and told them they were opening up pandora’s box and they didn’t have any idea what would come out of it.
Now they know.
Trouble is, I don’t know if we’ve hit bottom yet.
Good one! Walt Kelly was being prophetic, at least in this instance. As the line at the top of Kate’s blog says, now they’re making insanity compulsory.
“Faster, please!” Islam is doing its best to reverse this trend.
Walt Kelly was right.
gellen, no we haven’t. When you and I are sent to jail, that will be the bottom. Rest assured that is soon coming.
Do these people all get PAID … for being OUTRAGED !? … It seems to be a new industry
This reminds me of a series of science fiction stories from the early to mid-1970s written by Joe Haldeman and published in “Analog”. They were later compiled into the novel “The Forever War”.
It’s about a group of terrestrial soldiers who fight in an interstellar war, starting in the late 20th century and going into 3000 AD or some such date. They come back from their first campaign right about now and find that society’s changed drastically. Homosexuality is not only legal, but encouraged as a means of population control. (Keep in mind that when the stories were written, many of the methods of conception, such as IVF, were either experimental or hadn’t been developed yet.)
As time progresses into several centuries in the future, heterosexuality is seen as a deviancy. Reading news items like this one, it seems that we’re close to being there.
All-gender washrooms are coming to a school near you —boards around Greater Toronto such as Peel are introducing them in all high schools, while in Durham every public elementary and secondary school should already have at least one.
It occurred to me that the people who are outraged at this are hypocrites. They want one of their own to play that role, but what difference does it make? It’s called *acting*!
With that logic, will they be boycotting other movies? I mean, John Wayne wasn’t a cowboy, so I guess they will be avoiding all those westerns he made with directors John Ford and Howard Hawks, particularly since he wasn’t alive during the time that those movies were set. How about all those James Bond flicks…. Shouldn’t the role have gone to an intelligence agent? And Tom Hanks was never an astronaut, nor did he ever fly to the moon, so I guess “Apollo 13” should go into the dustbin, right?
Some people have way too much time on their hands….
Why not just call it what it really is,….mental illness. We need a few films that question the need to cater to the nut fringe and what the end game is supposed to be.

You can’t do that. Calling it an “illness” implies that they’re sick and I’ve yet to hear one of them admit that they are.
They’re simply re-labeling handicapped washrooms.
Nonexistent problem = simple solution.
But at least Donald Duck will always be Donald Duck, and Goofy will be Goofy.
Ken, unfortunately what islam will leave in it’s wake well be nothing but misery for all.
“They’re simply re-labeling handicapped washrooms. ”
Yet, that does not satisfy them as they demand their new “normal” status.
