Ffs!

does anybody remember that clomping ‘ballerina’ from a while back, being feted by all the actually talented and skilled women? All a bloke has to do is turn up in a skirt and everyone acts as if they’ve done something marvelous - women rarely get such praise even when they achieve something truly outstanding.

Yeah that really confused me.
There have always been both men and women in ballet. And they've always, up until recently anway, been just as skilled.
And here's this male who's a "woman" with it's the grace of a cow on drugs clumping around like he's 3 year old wearing wellies for the first time and really enjoying it.
And it's all stunning and brave, and I'm sat there thinking "Other men can be just as graceful as the women, so why can't he?"

Can’t help feeling that he has Marianne Jean- Baptiste’s nomination place

This makes a mockery of the awards, no doubt he will win the Oscar as well as he is nominated for the women's category. Its a fucking joke, there is no way in hell he is eligible to win an award for women. I also doubt they are that good, they are just flavour of the month and the usual virtue signalling we see in such circles.

It's interesting that they sometimes look vaguely (and I mean vaguely) passable when they are photographed alone.
But that illusion just shatters when they are photographed with women.
The old fashioned kind.

I reckon Timothee Chalamet at 13/8 and KSG at 13/2 aren't bad bets.

I'm definitely considering a trip to the bookies.

William Hill's odds are here.

You're all being very unfair. How many other actresses would have the range to play a young gigolo as Karla did. Most just don't have the balls for that sort of role.

I see Angelina Jolie has been snubbed in the Screen Actor's Guild Award nominations for her performance in Maria as KSG nabbed one of the slots.

We're going to need a bigger Bechdel Test.

Cripes, it sounds even more rubbish than I'd imagined.

This is what happenes when self ID is implemented. As illustrated by the Spanish soldier who took full advantage of it

Ereshkigalangcleg · 02/01/2025 09:26

You can never, ever satisfy these people. How exactly did they expect this character to be portrayed?

ArabellaScott · 02/01/2025 09:11

'In her two-star review for The Independent, Clarisse Loughrey questioned Audiard’s depiction of the trans experience. “Instead, he renders Emilia and her pre-transition self as two entirely different, disconnected people, as if he only sees his trans lead as a metaphor, an opportunity to explore his own thoughts on rebirth and second chances,” wrote Loughrey. “There’s a slight whiff of reductive gender essentialism here: the notion that womanhood is purity manifest, that Lady Macbeth was always clear of her damned spots.”'

Reductive gender essentialism? Surely some mistake!!

Oh FFS 🤦‍♀️ do these award panels simply see a TW and have a Pavlovian reaction? Is it even possible for a TW to do something and NOT win an award for it?

No! They are literally better at womaning than any other woman ever

its all part of being the most oppressed & marginalised ever

Spanish Twitter thread. Turns out Gargoyles makes a super-ugly woman but was actually a rather fetching lady. That's if you overlook the moobs.

@GargoylesofBeelzebub have you seen this? You’re famous! And I’ve been here too long…..

Eventually, in about the year 2099 I reckon, someone will look at the stats and realise that a natal woman hasn’t actually won a prize, an award, a sporting event or any form of recognition for at least forty years , and that year, and probably for that one year only, we will win fucking EVERYTHING!

Perfect summing up of the situation, Igmum!
They are so brave and marginalised and literally genocided that they deserve everything woman-related, and we are petty and mean and unkind and phobic if we object..🙄
