Olivia Colman: “I’ve always described myself to my husband as a gay man.” 🙄

She sounds embarrassed to be a straight woman. How depressing.

The only platform I want her to use is the one at the railway station. People who are famous aren't experts in anything, maybe in their own profession, but nothing else. She's entitled to her own opinion on anything, there's no need to spout that opinion at every opportunity.

Did you post this on the wrong thread?

Being an ally doesn't mean that you claim to be something you clearly aren't.
I don't see white friends putting on blackface to speak up about racism.
Ally my arse.

This.

An ally to who?

Maybe she wants to use her platform to be an ally.

Maybe she has a different view on this from you.

I think that's allowed. Even though she's a middle aged woman.

@Heggettypeg we are adoptive parents and see the "rainbow baby collectors", people who seek out children who are darker skinned than them.
Our DD spent some weeks with a foster carer though she was placed there from the hospital; the foster carer told us about a white family that a baby in similar circumstances was going to. Prior to meeting the baby the family asked about her skin tone "we like dark babies" or "she'll match then" or some such. It seemed to be a reassurance that the child would fit the image.

🤣

We really need the laugh emoji back.

This was my take away. I think they all have to, to some extent. And I haven’t yet decided if I feel slightly sorry for them or if I think they’re all tiny brained dickheads.

However, this:
But I’ve never felt massively feminine in my being female
I agree with. I’ve never found myself flouncing around thinking oh goodness I’m such a womanly woman, being all womanly doing my womanly things. I mean, who does? Ohhh…..

Oh yuck TMI Olivia. Keep that private. We don't need to know this.

😂😂😂😂 Well said!

She's so non-binary and unconventional that she's married to a man and they have three children together. I wonder how non-binary she felt when she was pregnant or giving birth. I wonder...

Oh, what the fuck, I can't be bothered. It's all so pointlessly, tediously stupid.

Is she going to to be exactly the same in this as she is in everything?

Never liked her. Too fond of herself by half and now she’s just proved herself to be the massive bellend I always thought she was.

It will be interesting to see how much she is allowed this ID too.

Short hair is common on older women and Olivia hasn't got a naturally androgynous face or body.

Remember folks, actors are only interesting when they are acting. Speaking the screenwriters words and doing what the director tells them to do.

This stuff is so immature. Is she wanting attention? Words are failing me right now. Just embarrassing.

These multi-identity descriptions always make me think of those ‘if Gerald is the father of Diane’s sister’s aunt, how is Gerald related to Diane’ type questions, where you ultimately think, I really don’t give a shiny shite, but particularly when they are contradictory; how can you describe yourself as non binary and a daughter? Shouldn’t you be a non-gendered ‘child’?

The film sounds utterly tedious

She bought my former home in Norfolk a couple of years ago. Grade II listed, oil fired heating, four oven oil-Aga, gas hob, two log burners & an open fire and single-glazed sash windows in the oldest part. Didn't make her think twice about her public stance on fossil fuels destroying the planet.
When I saw Oblivian I wondered why she didn’t buy herself a nice eco-friendly bungalow in Sheringham. But those are just for us ‘norms’. She is very special.

Olivia: what you actually mean is you have never thought you were attractive as a woman.

BE HONEST FFS

What did Kathy Burke say?

If the non binary character is described as being played by a “queer, non binary, transgender daughter” of the director, it means the actor is a TIM calling themselves “non binary”, I think.

She was clearly making some light comments in an interview. The problem is that gender and sexuality is now a massively charged topic, hence the widespread commentary. I would recommend more listening to Ricky Gervais.

People spend so much time navel gazing these days - perhaps they always did but nowadays there are too many platforms for them to disgorge their streams of rambling and brain-farts.
