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

This is man. Not a woman.

Not only that, he’s a man who “identifies” as a lesbian.

Peak misogyny

I've told women their makeup is lovely.
I've told women that I absolutely can't walk in heels and am in awe about how they can do it.
I've told women they look beautiful.
I've told a woman her dress is gorgeous and really suits her.

This sort of attitude always baffles me. There’s a bunch of people whose opinions you like and respect; then you find out they think differently to you on one specific subject. Why is your response “Oh no, they were terrible people all along!” rather than “Hmm, I wonder if there’s more to this topic than I realised?” This lack of curiosity and self-examination is not a good thing…

It affects women and girls when men pretend they are women.

It's amazing how some on here can shoehorn Trans into every thing.

It’s not.
“I wish I could do my make up that well”
“I wish I could walk in heels like that”
“You’re so beautiful”
“You’re more of a woman than I’ll ever be”
“All I noticed was how beautiful you are”

This kind of gushing sycophancy is reserved for men, exclusively.

YANBU I’m sick of people just going along with all this madness and playing along with the delusion. You were right to not lie to him and tell him that he’s a man.

What a ridiculous leap.

The actor did look nice in their scene.

I said yeah it is a man love. A man who identifies as a sex they are not.

They identify as a different gender, hence transGENDER and the change away from transexual.

"ioóii neh".

Sometimes I feel that too. But usually only when my manager emails me to ask me to call her, so she can ask me to call someone to ask them to call her.

Men are just THE BEST at womaning, aren’t they?

I find Mumsnet users to be an intelligent and understanding group until we get to the trans debate. On this subject it's a hotbed of intolerance with its inflexible and hate-filled TERF mentality. I despair.

You are so brave.

Glad I’m not the only one who spotted this.

Interested in why the OP and everyone saying she is NBU thinks ‘fuck that film’ for the mere fact of having a trans actor in the cast is appropriate or reasonable?

Regardless of how OP wants to describe that actors sex or gender, why on earth is it anything other than rank bigotry to object to the mere fact of a trans actor having a (minor) role in a movie?

Congratulations. You must be feeling so proud. Well done you.

I also love the film and my first thought was is this character is trans?

But then, my immediate second thought was how beautiful they are. Really really beautiful. A lovely character.

Just made the film even more interesting as it is a story about transplant which should be brought to the fore far far more imho.

You would just say what?

You’re entitled to your views about trans people. But why ‘fuck that film’? That implies that trans people can’t exist at all. They shouldn’t even be on your television? I find that pretty offensive. You believe a trans woman is a man dressing up as a woman - fine. Why can’t she be on your television doing that?

Its very dangerous to bring girls up not recognising who is male. There are situations where females are at risk from males and we shoukd not teach them to pretend some males are not a potential danger

Why do you think it’s ok to have an opinion on something you know nothing about and have never looked into? This issue has been hotly debated for over a decade now. The ways that ‘trans people’ who want to be treated as the sex they are not, in all and every situation, negatively affects other people has been well articulated and evidenced.

Here’s a fun fact for you. The fact that you haven’t bothered to look into an issue, doesn’t mean that issue doesn’t exist and isn’t well known and evidenced.

Here’s another fun fact. Sound bites from your equally closed minded mates, are also not ‘facts’.

i couldnt tell whether it was a man or a woman, i assumed a woman.
but it is a very minor part in the film

‘biological lol ioóii
neh

What the fuck does that mean? And when are you going to close the quotation marks?

Read my post. I state quite clearly that I don't believe a man can become a woman.

So no, explaining to a child that the reason someone in a film who appears to be a woman sounds like a man is because they were born a man implies nothing else.

Post makes no sense. Baiting.

But that's the point, isn't it? Why have we created a society where a child can get into 'bother' for stating basic reality, which 99.99% of the population accepted as basic reality all of five minutes ago?

I have a 14yo DS who thinks its all nonsense (independently of me - I'd never talked ?about it) but I've told him to be very careful what he says outside the house. Isn't that insane?
