To have not lied to DS about trans actor in Last Christmas?

It would have been fine, except you qualified it. Just say 'yes, dear, it's a man'.

Interesting......... so despite the fact that there is I think? a trans day, week, month of visibility and that we are endlessly being told by the "trans community" (which is in no way a community) that those of us who object to it are "destroying their lives" and lots of other hyperbole........you are arguing that actually the fact that most of us dont identify (or in anyway support the trans cult) doesnt affect a trans persons life. Also as I said in another comment - look up "obfuscation"

The trans cult (because it is a cult) massively affects all of our lives whether male or female in so many ways. It permeates almost every aspect of day to day life in the Western world atm. Have a read/watch of books/videos and you will soon know but Im guessing you'd rather not confront the facts - should you wish to........

I’ve looked at photos on Google because of this thread. Passes for a woman, to me. I’ve seen more masculine looking female born actresses. Angelica Houston, Tilda Swinton, for example.

I haven't watched it. I like both leads, so would be open to it, but the premise sounds dumb as rocks.

Because he was very clearly a man, so I find it funny when people say they couldn’t tell. There are a rare few who could ‘pass’ as women, although usually once they speak and you see more of them, it’s still obvious that they’re men. In this case, he is very obviously a man.

Oh my god! I feel so stupid now!! 🙈🙈

Gender non conforming people have always existed.

Deciding that gender non conforming people are 'really' the opposite sex in some way, or that 'gender identity' should trump sex when it comes to the classification of male/female is a very recent development.

“And also no trans people have not always existed.”

How is this known?

I am at odds with your comment in so many ways. For starters, any response that starts with "you do realise" is bothersome because its so incredibly rude and patronising.
And also no the trans debate isnt a distraction from real problems - we are all aware of those issues as well. It isnt one or the other.

And also no trans people have not always existed.

And no again - because yes actually the existence of trans people does take away from the rest of us. In lots of ways.

I recommend you look up the word "obfuscation" because like many others who hold your perspective on this topic you are good at it.

Do tell me what’s so funny. You’re suggesting I’m lying? Why? I didn’t know about the actor until I read this thread.

I’d have just said yes it’s a man dressed up as a woman and left it at that but I don’t understand what your lesbian dd has to do with anything?

🤣🤣🤣

And they all stood up and clapped....
🙄

I don’t really see the issue.

When my DD used to ask things I’d just be honest and say they were either born a man or they’re a woman but has a deep voice.

It’s not offensive to be honest to your child.

Did you miss the whole TWAW thing? Besides gender and sex seem now to have basically come to mean the same thing, even though they aren't. Gender is just a meaningless set of cultural stereotypes.

But no problem with the trans actor in the film, the film was mostly disappointing IMO though and i really regretted paying to see it at the cinema.

Transphobia. But oh on, there's none of that on MN.

Quite the opposite. Having a mother that doesn’t buy into trans ideology that is homophobic, is a good thing for her daughter being as she is a lesbian.

‘DD paused then typed a wee bit more furiously than usual for 30 secs but then was ok. She knows tbf. She's lesbian and not pan.’

I don’t understand what happened. Ds asked, you confirmed, dd typed ‘furiously’ and then you cried because it’s a sad film?

Your poor daughter.

God I hate that film. A whole film concocted to match a line from a song. I rolled my eyes so hard when the penny dropped that I saw my brain.

Part of the joke at pantos is that the men in dresses are evidently not women. No one is having to sit there po faced pretending that they are.

Oh course you are unreasonable OP. Anything other than chastising your child for not instantly believing the person is a woman is, of course, transphobic. Correctly describing a trans woman as a man who believes themselves to be a woman is also deeply transphobic.

You could’ve just said it’s a man dressed as a woman. I bet you’re a hoot at pantomimes

No, I didn’t 🤷‍♀️
