The Screen Actors Guild, which puts on the SAG Awards, has rejected a call from Billions star Asia Kate Dillon to abolish gender specific awards categories. The actor claimed that the categories needed to be changed because referring to performers as male or female will “erase non-binary identities” and “serve as an endorsement of the gender binary at large.”
The SAG Awards Committee says that the categories will remain the same for this year’s awards because a “larger conversation” needs to happen before making such a change, according to a report by Variety, which obtained SAG’s response letter to Dillon.
The report added that SAG suggested abolishing gender specific awards categories may one day happen, as the committee agreed that “the work is by no means done” when it comes to making people who believe there are more than two genders feel included at awards ceremonies.

A make-believe industry awarding make-believe gender 'identification'. Perfect.
"Victor Victoria", any one? But now, we have transgender male/female playing other transgender gender role, and get which award category?
I live in a silly country :)
They need to go the other direction, and create awards for each of the recently defined gender categories. And they need to make sure that each and every category is equally represented.
I think the idea of different categories is discriminatory as well.
Why should a director be differentiated from a music composer or an actron? Why do we separate actrons by role? Do you value some less than others?
For that matter why are there awards for “best” anything? We need a celebration of everyone except white people.
Why don’t I ever meet any Asians named “Asia?”
For the same reason I’ve never met an Italian called Italy or an Irishman named Irish.
It’s stupid!!
Still it’s better than the name elon musk gave his kid :)
i’m glad to see that he’s at least somewhat on our side but he’s a little nuts :)
Just add a “abused and confused” category.
No, no, no, Kate. You got it all backwards. There should be awards for every gender category, male, female, lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transsexual, non-binary, decline-to-state, *, gender fluid, in-transition, etc.
Love it. Instead of two people getting awards, drop it down to one. “But I did such a good job this year! It’s not fair, it’s not fair, it’s not fair!”’/Herman Munster stomp
One single Oscar for Best Conformance to Collectivist Ideals should be sufficient. I nominate Jussie Smolett. :)
Eliminate all awards, it’s too stressful for all the losers.
Me too.
Dillon is non-binary and uses singular they pronouns.
Right, like the some 56 now? Sorry, don't have enough recording time on my DVR. Still, it would be fun to watch celebrities sit in their chairs for 16 hours falling asleep, or leaving up the isles.
What about the Film Actors Guild?
Transgenderism actually reinforces binary gender.
You can’t be a tranny without two genders to choose from.
Even Becker and Fagen spelled it "Aja".
Asia Kate Dillon is an American actor, best known for their roles as Brandy Epps in Orange Is the New Black and Taylor Mason in Billions. Dillon is non-binary and uses singular they pronouns. Wikipedia
If you’ve met an Irish girl named “Erin” then you’ve met a girl named after Ireland. The native name is “Eire” or collectively “Eirenn”.

That’s why I called her a female girl actress. She might not like it, but she can put on her big girl panties and take it like a lady.
