Want to be considered for a best actress award? Stop pretending to be a woman!

Everything I've read about Emma D'Arcy has made me eyeroll hard enough to injure myself, but I think this time I may have done permanent damage.

www.yahoo.com/entertainment/house-dragon-emma-darcy-says-010622755.html

Emma can't help but notice that Emma found success only after Emma stopped "pretending" to be a woman, and isn't it "beautifully ironic" that Emma got nominated for a best actress award.

Oh and no fancy frock for Emma because Emma is non-binary. Emma was "doing trans", because Emma wore trousers and a skirt at the same time. "And nothing says non-binary like wearing both a skirt and trousers." My mind is blown - not only did I lose all sense of style in the noughties when I wore dresses over jeans, I actually cast off the shackles of womanhood too!

She acts a good female in her HOD role.

If I'd only known that spot welding in a tutu would solve all my problems and cast off my shackles...

oh ffs, who has time for this kind of idiocy?

@LurkyMcLurkLurk I thought you were being sarcastic when you wrote 'nothing says non-binary like wearing a skirt and trousers' - but then I read the article! This could be a new trend; 'nothing says non-binary like shaving your legs but not your armpits ' or wearing one stiletto and one trainer ...

My turn:
Nothing says non-binary like eating a Yorkie while wearing a ball gown.
Nothing says non-binary like wearing dangly earrings and drinking pints.
Nothing says non-binary like scratching your arse while soaking in a scented bubble bath.

Emma also has a bearded partner called Thomas. No idea how Thomas identifies but Emma is definitely definitely not a straight woman.

I think nothing says non-binary like "posh (or at least middle class) and a bit thick" rather than trousers and skirt.
I also wonder how they had the cheek to take a woman's role when they evidently have no lived experience as a woman.

Non binary. Golly Emma must be interesting and edgy.

If Emma was truly nonbinary, she'd have angrily turned down the award and ugly cried about it invalidating her identity.

The Muslim girls I went to school with had to wear trousers and skirts because they were girls. If their fathers had realised this actually made their daughters nonbinary, would have been a bit of a catch22 situation.

What is it with tedious navel gazing actresses called emma?

Emma Corrin calls for gender neutral acting awards

How on earth did we walk back into the 1950s gender roles? What, in the wider society, caused the idea that gender stereotypes are essential while biological sex is something on a spectrum and perhaps socially created? What happened to the lessons of the second wave of feminism?
