I’m thinking he was somewhat misnamed. There should be a D instead of an S.

Could be worse. I used to use the name Lance Goodthrust as a handle till I found out there was a gay porn star my that name...

Really ironic name. He got gay-married in September of last year too.

So no women were qualified? Interesting. A woman no longer qualifies for playing the part of a woman.

The irony of liberalism is that women are getting crowded out of the awards by men who want to be women.
* woman of the year (Jenner)
* top paid female CEO (Rothblatt)
* bridal show superstar (Andrej Pejic)

In short, men who think they are women are being hailed as the ultimate and epitome of what it is to be an accomplished women - and feminists who oppose this are being shut out.

For example, a feminist whose work is read as gospel by feminists, Germaine Greer, has been threatened due to her transmisogny. AKA, the feelings of men who want to be women trump the feminist’s feelings. Ditto for Camille Paglia.

Back in the day only men were actors. No woman ever were on the stage. A ton of silent movies were just like that. I guess were going back to the 50’s after all.
