The Political Correctness Police, starting with the perpetually victimized GLAAD (the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) and a group called 50/50 by 2020, are trying to impose quotas on everything Hollywood does.
Leftist fascism is not on the march. It is galloping.
They are part of an open letter signed by titans of the Hollywood left that demands an "unprecedented cultural moment." They demand the entertainment elite "use its power to improve the lives of trans people by changing America's understanding about who trans people are." GLAAD claims there were no transgender characters in 109 movies released by major studios in 2017, and that there were only 17 recurring and regular TV characters out of 901. Hollywood is always lagging behind its idea of diversity.
Both major Hollywood trade publications -- first the Hollywood Reporter and now Variety -- have run major cover-story packages in the last month stacking up bleeding-heart anecdotes of the terrible injustice done to "trans actors," starting with the idea that "cisgender" actress Scarlett Johansson was going to play a transgender woman in the movie "Rub & Tug." The outrage caused the movie star to withdraw.
Stop for just a second. No one gives a damn about this except them.
"Transparent" series creator Jill Soloway, who identifies as "nonbinary" and prefers the personal pronouns "they" and "them," is now horrified that she cast Jeffrey Tambor to star in her transgender show. That decision "was born out of my ignorance," Soloway lamented. "I had to have my education in public."
Stop again. Are you following this?
We're all apparently in need of education, and the rules change daily. No one is allowed to oppose "trans-inclusive" casting and propaganda. This campaign for the "normalization" of this attack on nature is also extending to our social media experience.
See Facebook's hate-speech handbook: "We define hate speech as a direct attack on people based on what we call protected characteristics -- race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender, gender identity, and serious disease or disability." What's an attack? "We define attack as violent or dehumanizing speech, statements of inferiority, or calls for exclusion or segregation," it says.
When they start judging what's "dehumanizing" or "exclusion," it's easy to understand how traditional values -- not to mention traditional biology and grammar -- will be punished. Catholics, that means you. But then again, wouldn't that be an attack based on religious affiliation?
The same punitive urge drives Twitter. Conservative Kathleen McKinley recently wrote on The Federalist that Twitter suspended her account and directed her to delete a tweet opposing transgender troops in the military. McKinney tweeted against "normalizing a mental disorder (gender dysphoria) (called "distress" now) which has no place in our military. Certainly not our $$ for surgery."
Twitter also flagged a tweet in which she insisted you can't ignore "extreme Muslim beliefs that condone honor killings!" Twitter said, "You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease." These tweets were not promotions of violence, threats or harassment. They were dissent.
These tech giants claim to care about religious affiliation, but they seem more fixated on someone criticizing Islam. They don't care about criticism or exclusion of religious majorities.
Christians are apparently offensive when relying on Scriptures that states the Creator "made them male and female." In their unholy writ of Political Correctness, our Creator needs to be educated. God needs to be corrected in an "unprecedented cultural moment." Christians will be ostracized by media outlets based on their faith -- not just in TV and movies but on their social media.
Exactly.
I just call those who don’t know what they are “its”
I hesitate to use the word “it” in reference to any human being. Even a real freak show. Somewhere underneath all the feather boas, the high heels, the wig and the two pounds of makeup is someone who was born with a Y chromosome. That person is trapped and begging to be let out.
Also, body identity is extremely important for a woman. Far more than for a man. A mastectomy or hysterectomy alters that identity. These ladies feel like an “it” and it isn’t a pleasant feeling, usually through no fault of their own.
No hard feelings, that’s just the way we roll ....
It's a joke, or it's a money-making gimmick. They're "ironic." They aren't meant to be taken seriously as indicating anybody's reverence for Obama or Clinton or Sanders or Trump.

Indian god Shiva the Destroyer....coincidence, I think not
Yep - he’s a destroyer
I always read it as Shiva, too. GMTA
I might have to add a Shiva pic and your comment to the collection so others understand it too.
It’s the pose Newsweeks art director chose, straight from the Shiva statue at CERN, took me a while to remember it. The shadow... almost like they traced it for the cover pose.
Obama’s post-Christian America - their goal; their hope
When I first heard that song, I thought it odd that a group from Liverpool, England would be singing a song about Tuscon.
LOL
I don’t feel like having a person for a life partner who plays games about what their gender is.
“I recognize male and female sexes. However, since they keep trying to misapply the term *Gender* to everything under the sun, that also includes two more choices: masculine or feminine.”
We were taught back in the fifties that the term gender only applies to pronouns and there are THREE genders, not just two. There are masculine pronouns such as he, him, his, there are feminine pronouns such as she, her, hers and there are NEUTER pronouns such as they, them, theirs.
Romans 1:21-22:
“Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools...”
Matthew 19:4:
“And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female...”
They’re blind to what they’re doing. And others joining in to the madness. SMH
