Sorry if this has been posted already, but it's quite enraging. Yes yes I know all about the Le Pen family, but what she says here actually makes sense. A case to watch, French law is pretty strict on this kind of thing though.

It's also pretty insulting that the person plays a woman in Mexico, where they have so many femicides. I don't think men are being trafficked to sex parties, then murdered and left in the dessert much, while the police do nothing.

Trans actor Karla Sofía Gascón sues French far-right politician after ‘sexist insult’

The actor, who became the first transgender woman to win the best actress prize at Cannes, had earlier dedicated her award to ‘all the trans people who are suffering’

He claims that it is a sexist insult based on his gender identity! What utter crap. Sexist insults are based on sex and I did not think the comment insulting anyway - just honest. He IS a man.

Also he transitioned at 46 and has a wife and a daughter - yet another one. 🙄

Male actor wins Best Actress. I don't care who said this is a man, he is a man. How on earth it is a sexist insult I do not know. If he is actually a woman in French law then it's just an inaccurate observation (mad as that is in reality). If he is a man claiming to be a woman, then it's accurate. There is no insult in the quote from the Guardian. If there is a law making it illegal to say that a man is a man, then I hope there is a lot of publicity about this in France.
