Emma Corrin and 'homophobia'

[IdgieThreadgoodeIsMyHeroine]

Emma Corrin claims to have experienced homophobia since 'coming out' as non-binary.

Emma Corrin is in a relationship with Rami Malek.

Make it make sense.

Oh yes, I agree that it's not homophobia because I never said they were in a homosexual relationship. It would be queerphobia.

I don't think you can be clearly, perceptibly and blatantly female without buying into traditional stereotypes about what being female is.

In this situation queer doesn't relate to sexuality as they are in a heterosexual relationship.

You could say that Corin is in a queer heterosexual relationship.

I can understand Corin saying that Corin received what Corin believes is vitriol for saying Corin is non-binary, but I don't see how anyone could be homophobic about Corin's current relationship.

Actually, Emma Corrin is a non binary person in a relationship with a man. That makes them a queer couple, not a heterosexual couple.

She is a woman. He is a man. They are a heterosexual couple albeit (her anyway) a rather attention seeking one. I thought she was good in The Crown but her acting seems to have become secondary to her self-perceived specialness.

It's so fucking offensive to all the gay men and lesbians who were "queer bashed", assaulted and murdered for being gay when these ultra privileged heterosexual people indulging in luxury beliefs, appropriate a hate crime for their own personal interests.

Numerous of my male gay friends were assaulted on the streets back in the day. The idea that this is being used by people who are not homosexual for their own narcissistic ends makes my blood boil.

It's tedious. I went googling and found a DM article about this in which the writer is clearly having fun with the use of they as it reads more like utter nonsense than it needed to.

Emma believes people don't like her being openly NB out of fear. I can't eyeroll hard enough to express my utter terror.

What utter nonsense. Why would humans be the only mammals who can't instantly identify what sex another member of their species is, in almost all cases? Nothing to do with whether they fit the stereotypes or not.

I don't think you can be clearly, perceptibly and blatantly female without buying into traditional stereotypes about what being female is.

You do know there are multiple physical differences between male and female human beings, right?

Which members of the species have been able to recognise throughout its history, whatever the prevailing clothing and behavioural norms of the period.

I get this from my niece, who is in a 'queer' relationship with a bloke. They are both they/thems and experience terrible 'homophobia'.

It's interesting how she always tells me this, as I have been an out lesbian for over 40 years and could tell her a tale or two. I just smile and nod.

No one thinks Emma Corrin is a gay man.

I'm well aware homophobia is an issue, thanks- just not for straight people.

How is this supposed homophobia manifesting itself? What abuse, physical or verbal, has Corrin been subjected to on the basis of Corrins homosexuality?

Is Rami Malek non-binary too?

I mean I have a woman’s face, massive tits and I’m 5’2. I am clearly, perceptibly and blatantly female. It doesn’t matter how I dress or act, no one is going to mistake me for a man.

Why would anyone think a woman in a relationship with a man is a lesbian?

Well the breasts are a bit of a giveaway, for a start...

You can, despite my jeans, short hair, lack of make up, boots and frequently holding a wrench or some other form of tool I am blatantly female

God, she’s insufferable.

Danni Minogue came out as ‘queer’ recently, too.

Meaningless word salad.

plus who actually GAF?

You are a better woman than I am.

Did you see James Dreyfus's tweet in response to that? It was brilliant. Hang on, I'll try to find it.

Some people confuse the material reality of having a female body with stereotypes. Somehow. My eight year old daughter seems to grasp the idea okay so I'm not sure why it causes difficulty.

Gender and sex are not the same thing.

If you're a theythem it might be themophobia or theyphobia.

We can't go on repurposing words anymore. We need our stuff back.

Here:

What's 'gender'?

She must have been thinking we'd forgotten about her.

She was right

Oh gawd, not this tedious, competitive victimhood gobshite, Corrin again.
