Academy says 'gender fluid' actor can be nominated in both male and female categories

The Actors Branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has determined that a woman born as a man can be nominated in both male and female categories.

Sigh.

The Wrap:

Kelly Mantle, a gender-fluid performer who was a contestant on the sixth season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” has made Oscar history as the first potential nominee eligible in both male and female categories, TheWrap has learned.

Mantle plays a transgender prostitute in “Confessions of a Womanizer,” a Miguel Ali indie from Harbor House Films starring Andrew Lawrence and Gary Busey.

The film’s producers ran into a dilemma when filling out Oscar paperwork, which required them to classify Mantle, who was born a man, as either male or female. Mantle was submitted for consideration in both categories, and the Academy confirmed that the performer can be nominated in either one.

There was no "dilemma" by any stretch of the imagination - only an effort to advance and legitimize the notion of "gender fluidity."

Liberals are insane.

No, this isn’t satire.

Gee, I never could imagine my ‘junk’ could suddenly and magically ‘melt’ away and become a J-J....

Imagine that!

They HAVE TO distort all of reality just to be “right” in one little lie, these would-be gods.

Another reason to not watch the anti-American insults and barb-fest. They just don’t know when to stop.

Gender fluid sounds like you need to call haz-mat, not the Academy.

So Trump has the chance to be the first female POTUS if he so chooses?

Dennis Miller had a funny observation years ago. Essentially, he said everyone is an “actor” in Hollywood...until it comes time to hand out Academy Awards.

Will “actors” and “actresses” insist on keeping the awards seperate? Will the academy announce a _third_ acting award? Will it be “the Academy awards for best actors” and a pick of win, place, and show from a slate of 8-10?

So “gender-fluid” is just another way of saying, college student snowflake.

I don’t think he’d do it. But it would be funny.

This is like in the Olympics when one of the female athletes, Caster Semenya was biologically a man but allowed to participate as a woman. If my memory is correct he, oops I mean she, won, having had an unfair advantage.

Because the trans-gender issue is so hot he/she will no doubt be nominated in both categories and most likely win, scoring a double dose of victory for the left and political correctness.

It is worse. They are satanic and as such, they actually believe that Vice is Virtue, Up is Down and Women and Men are interchangeable. It is pure Marxism which is Satanism (Communism/Progressivism) (irrationality+The Big Lie). They “think” they can defy Reality and Truth (God).

It is all to erase the Christian worldview in children, so they are so confused and unable to be rational (human beings). They want ignorant cattle of the masses (gentiles) to herd, control and kill for their NWO.
