And what happens when there are more men nominated than women? Feminists will have a tantrum.

There is no such thing as gender neutral in the real, sane world. Stop trying to erase biological men and women just because some mentally ill persons decide to carve up their bodies and take hormones in a volume that their bodies do not naturally produce.

I’m long past caring what these awards shows do. Little Ben and Smelly Libby can have their way as far as I’m concerned.

They won't change anything until trannies "make history" by winning all the Best Actress awards.

Best Actor in a major motion picture
Best Actress in a major motion picture
Best “It” in a major motion picture

I will tell them my pronoun can also be a noun, verb and adverb.

Afted processing that, they will ask, well what do like to be called?

Fu@k you. It’s a Chinese family name.

5.56mm

The Gotham Awards?? Is this something new, or am I just totally (and happily) out of touch?

No worries. Complicated diversity rules will probably be set up. Maybe...

Old way: Four men nominated for best actor. Four women nominated for best actress. One winner from each group.

New way: Eight nominations for best actor, at least four of whom must be women. Two winners, at least one of whom must be a woman.

Call everyone in Hollywood “stupid chimps”—problem solved.

My preferred pronoun is “Massah,” as in “Yes, Massah.”

“Feminists will have a tantrum.”

They could dole out awards based on type of performance.

“Best hissyfit in a pretentious drama.”

That will happen. There will be complaints if the gender neutral categories don’t have enough women nominees. We all know that will happen. And if too many men end up winning gender neutral awards, there will be similar protests about that.

CORRECTION: Exactly three of whom must "identify" as male, exactly three of whom must "identify" as female, and exactly two of whom must "identify" as "neither male nor female."

No, they need to stop pretending that homosexuality and perversion are normal.

It’s about time they got their own category, after all they are unique.

I hope they do this everywhere with everything.

This sounds exactly how they would do it.

The “gender neutral” awards show will have even fewer viewers than the normal awards show, and that’s saying something.
