^As a result, women could have a higher hill to climb to score a win.
In the long-term, it's not hard to imagine the outrage if a decision like this led to a repeated loss of recognition for worthy winners, particularly women.^

Corrin not Corinne ffs!

Theeyeballsinthesky · 25/11/2022 08:25

When ppl talk about straight people being ‘queer tourists’ corrin and Corinne being NB always comes to mind

comes from a wealthy family, public school, Cambridge & then picked to play Diana straight out of university

diana brought EC instant fame & critical praise. EC is invited everywhere, showered with gifts, Invitations & EC career has gone from strength to strength

corrin demonstrates their NB by having short hair, wearing an assortment of odd outfits and holding all the ‘appropriate’ opinions - TWAW, sex work is work and gets to claim special status under LGBTQ+ despite living a life of privilege most people can only dream of

It’s probably all related to the fact that she’s ‘about to star in a new stage adaptation of Virginia Woolf's novel Orlando’. It seems she used she/her until quite recently.

God I couldn't finish corens navel gazing crap. Its always the same with the trans/non-binary people the might aswell scream "I'm so special everything must be about ME". Ugh

As a working actor I would have thought Emma would have been more aware of the disparity in number of leading roles for men and women . Maybe someone should remind Emma of this.

Radical notion here

Rather than thinking the categories relate to gender , just keep them sex based ? Then she could not feel homeless

"They said they did not worry that being so up front would limit the kind of roles they got offered in the future. 'I would never sacrifice integrity or honesty because of work that I may or may not get. My being non-binary is not a rejection of femininity or my femininity in any way. It's sort of an embrace of that. "I still want to play women, my experience on this earth has been a female one - and now it's sort of a very fluid one.'" The Eddie Izzard defence. Only this time used by a tall , blonde, slim white woman trying to make herself seem different from other tall blonde slim white women.

That's encouraging - both that the writer of the analysis wrote it and that the BBC published it.

Emma Corrin comes across as trying way too hard,

"Your gender identity is so much to do with how you feel and it ties into so much of how you want to be seen or are seen by people and that can be very triggering or can make you uncomfortable if you don't feel you are being seen honestly or correctly.

"I think that it was necessary for me to be open and honest about it because otherwise I would have felt I was being perceived wrongly."

"I know how much I've been helped by people in the public [eye] who have been open and generous with their journeys and how much it's helped me feel comforted and acknowledged and like I am on the right path.

Boo hoo that you don't see me the way I have told you to, the way I see myself.

And 'on the right path' but it's not a belief system / religion?
