'Oppenheimer' actor comes out as transmasculine and nonbinary, keeping 'work name'

[Delldude]

Why is it any of your business?

It's the entire concept of how a message board operates.

 

[Mr. Friscus]

Well, the proper term would be "Gender Identity".

An irrelevant term. You can have one, but no one else has to participate in your made up world.

 

[whitehall]

Transmasculine? Yet another word for fruitcake.

Sure. I asked you a question. Now you are suppose to answer.

 

[JoeMoma]

Your argument was that transgenders are "mutiliating" themselves (even though only a very small percentage of them get Gender-Affirming Surgery)

But you are not nearly as upset about people who get "mutiliated" for purely cosmetic reasons.

Silicone Breast implants caused thousands of cases of disease, but you aren't upset women did that.

Breast implant illness (BII) includes many symptoms that may occur after getting breast implants, such as fatigue and joint pain. Implant removal can help treat BII.

Strawman repeated.... about things in which my stanch has not been stated......because this thread is not about those things.

 

[ThisIsMe]

I think that's called social norms.

You have dozens of social norms that you go along with. It's why I don't put my bare feet up on the table in a restaurant. It's considered impolite.

Conversely, men can go shirtless in public but women can't.

There are certain words you can't use in public. Why? Social norms have considered that unacceptable and you might get your butt kicked.

social normal doesnt mean one person gets to decide someone else's beliefs in science.

If someone wants to be trans, they have enough very right, but their rights stop where someone else's begins.

You don't put your bare feet on a table because it's gross and unsanitary.

Men go shirtless because they don't have enough genitals on their chests.

And there are words deemed to be slurs and offensive. However, not capitulating to someone else's views is not out of social norms.

Maybe the trans community needs to stop thinking that if someone doesn't call them by THEIR preferred pronouns, it's not an attack on them, it's just a difference of opinion.

 

[Delldude]

Sure. I asked you a question. Now you are suppose to answer.

It's my business just as your commenting in any particular thread where you made it your business to comment.

Can you hear me now?

A flower?"

Probably a pansy........

I see no reason for it to be your business.

 

[Delldude]

Mind your own business then......

 

[pknopp]

Mind your own business then......

You seem to be saying it is none of your business but you just had to condemn it.

[martybegan]

It is simply seeking attention.

Every time I see an announcement like this I just see REEEEEEEE LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEE

 

[JoeB131]

You don't realize it but all you are trying to normalize here is people who are sexually insecure.

Why would a trans person be "insecure", they seem to know who they are.

you are the one with a problem, due to you own insecurities.

Hey, remember how Dubya Bush was going to save you from the nasty gays getting married?

He didn't, but you all got underwater mortgages and busted 401K's for your trouble.

 

[JoeB131]

Your weird trans ideology got stomped. It doesn’t make sense, and it’s harmful to children.

You’re on the wrong side of history

Guy, buddy, you barely won because people were too stupid to realize inflation was a global problem.

Trans acceptance is inevitable. How do I know this? Because corporations are enforcing it for their workers.

Just like I knew you guys lost the gay marriage debate when big companies offered "Domestic Partner" benefits long before the government legalized gay marriage.

 

[braalian]

It’s just attention seeking behavior

Why are people getting all worked up about it? Who is it hurting?

Are we really shocked that an actor is seeking attention? It should be obvious that the field attracts people born with attention seeking personality traits

 

[Delldude]

Why would a trans person be "insecure", they seem to know who they are.

It's obvious they aren't secure with their biological sex.

Hey, remember how Dubya Bush was going to save you from the nasty gays getting married?

In 2004, Obama came out against same sex marriage.

you are the one with a problem, due to you own insecurities.

I'm happy as a lark....no one has keyed my car.

 

[Stryder50]

Well, I don't think there are 50 genders. Gender is certainly a spectrum, however.

The bigger question is, why do you care? Is this actor thinking she is more male than female really bothering you or upsetting your day?

Only on the issue of which bathroom and locker room to go into.
I prefer such is based on the biological plumbing (sexual organ) from birth.
Mental illness of identity should not be the factor.
Nor should such qualify for any special taxpayer funding.

 

[JoeB131]

In 2004, Obama came out against same sex marriage.

and by 2011, he embraced it and it is now the law of the land. Suck it, hater!

Or we could just have unisex bathrooms and locker rooms and get over ourselves.

 

[braalian]

Europe has had unisex public restrooms for decades.

It’s not even a “woke” or trans thing. It’s a “who gives a shit?” thing.

But apparently if American women have to share public restrooms with men and happen to see a fully clothed man with his back turned at a urinal, she will overcome by the vapors and have to be escorted to the nearest fainting couch so she can recover.
