So apparently Owl made a film

[AngryAttackKittens]

I'm thinking Owl should stick to Owl's day job (is there one?)

If anything it shows the massive misunderstanding of how others view the trans community, and why people are worried about selfID.

It also show complete misunderstanding of how humans interact.

Owl obviously identifies as a film maker.

Yes. It was the overheard phonecall that got me. Does some cunt think they have a right to confront neighbours about private phonecalls?

The cat was the best of the bunch.

Hang on - the cat was trans? Well, I presume they had had the op...

I loved the focus on the cat - I assume it represented something... can’t put my finger on it

Yes! That was fucking brilliant. More please Owl. Get Posie to project it on to the side of the BBC too.

Get Posie to project it on to the side of the BBC too.

Hahaha.

Haha! The cat was the best actor in that.

Get Posie to project it on to the side of the BBC too.
Then it can be advertised as being shown on the BBC.

I've seen waffling about trans pets before. How would you tell how your cat identified? I mean, if they're ornery, uncooperative, affectionate one moment vicious the next, that's not a gender, that's just being a cat. Do they offer their dogs a choice of pink or blue tennis balls?

It also show complete misunderstanding of how humans interact.

"If I eavesdrop on my neighbor and then go angrily confront them over the garden fence over a private phone call that, again, I was being rude as fuck by listening in on then people won't think I'm a nutter at all!"

Can't wait for the cinematic release.

Yes, eavesdropping not the best choice to found the work on.

Before I watched that I thought people were being a bit mean with their comments TGLWGH and all that.

Then I watched the video and.... I mean, really?

I thought that about the eavesdropping on the phone call as well. The totalitarian theme continues.

For a moment I thought Penny was going to scale the fence in one huge leap and smash the abusive boyfriend unconscious with a camel skin lamp. Then she would sit with Owl and have a cup of tea and agree to disagree, mildly disturbed half way through the conciliatory refreshment by the cat shitting in its litter tray.

I think Penny will be played by Jean Claude Van Damme when Owl gets the budget. And there will be more explosions.

Hey, I have every sympathy for beginning filmmakers. Many an unintentionally terrible student film has been made by earnest people with good intentions.

But this? This is just dreadful. Like, I'm so embarrassed for you bad.

And Bruce Willis will play the cat

I overheard my neighbour having a private phone call and they said something that challenges my personal ideology. AIBU to aggressively confront my neighbour over our shared fence?

P.S. Neighbour sometimes looks after my cat. Not sure if this is relevant but don't want to drip feed.

Oh ok. I've just watched it again. I get it now.

The transwoman cat sitting neighbour tells someone on the phone they can always tell a transwoman isn't a woman (the fact that they're trans themself is confusing, I agree. But I suspect it's a double bluff fail.)

Owl confronts them and the cat sitting neighbour asks what the hell Owl knows about it, implying they don't know Owl is trans.

Owl prove they're a woman by having a row with an abusive boyfriend where they take a subordinate role.

And yes, it's absolute shite.

"spy on neighbours, get their views, report them, challenge them."

Isn't this Stalinism, I'm not massively read on Stalin but my basic knowledge draws comparisons?

PPS Despite purportedly being a woman of later years, neighbor often leaps over hedges and bounds into other people's homes in order to aggressively confront abusive men, at which point they immediately back down, since we all know that abusive men find older women terribly physically intimidating.

Datun, your analysis is correct, I think. I imagine the transwoman playing the cat sitting neighbour was an attempt at queering it all up. Double bluff as you say.

I'm sure the creative conferences they had before the script was written and cameras rolled was very excited wokesters saying "And what about if we have the ciswoman neighbour played by a transwoman? That'll be so cool!"

Yeah - I was thinking that the whole DM stuff was about some sort of shared experience between women that binds us. But I agree. It is more about what defines us. 'Hi there - I've been bashed - I'm a REAL WOMAN'.

before the script was written
Script?
And what about if we have the ciswoman neighbour played by a transwoman? That'll be so cool!"
I suspect it was supposed to be a big surprise and a big shocking reveal that the actress was trans.

"And what about if we have the ciswoman neighbour played by a transwoman? That'll be so cool!"

"And the best part is that nobody will even notice!"
