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."

Won’t be long before we see “Species Fluid”. You may then identify as a dog and urinate and defecate in public.

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

Gender-fluid is just another way of saying eventual suicide victim. That is the reality of it.

I’m just shocked that Gary Busey is still alive.

I clicked on the link and saw the picture. I wonder if the Academy has a category for "species fluid".

It's a horse, baby!

There is no such thing as gender fluid / transgender or any of that gibberish.

It’s just human arrogance unbound.

So the same person can win both categories?

This proves that transgender is being bumped up to a revered species. It is, according to the Progressive World View (after the Elizabethan World View “proving” that kings are closer to Gd than other people). Transgender to them is closer to Gd in their hierarchy.

How about just ONE Oscar, for Actor(All genders as One!).
Same for Supporting Actor.
Either that or use 57 varieties of Oscars!
That way you could run Oscar Night for 2-3 weeks, non stop.
**********
My nomination for best actor of the century is OBUMA.
He is proof that AA is a fraud!

No more ‘best actor’ or ‘best actress’ categories. It’s .....racist....or something.

“Gender fluid sounds kinda dirty.”

Yeah, like something someone with a trans—mission would need.
