Dude, I'm the Homo Superior. I embrace all my queer brothers and lesbian sisters. I didn't know your sexuality. I had no clue you have a feud with Metatron. And so I'm not taking sides except if he bashes you and then I'm right behind you with a hard-on. I just detest the royal family.
Seems an odd way to start an anti-Semitic free-for-all.
He's showing us the thinking process from question, to assumption, to conclusion.
Damn pussies are afraid to smoke a real cigarette even acting for a film? Lol.
Macy Gray hasn't had anything new recently, but she's a great r&b singer, no rap. I mean she's definitely "modern". But I think you mean current, not Diana Ross or Sam Cooke.

Personally, I think Jesus would believe there are two genders.
But in the NT he always positioned himself above any worldly controversy. So he would speak in riddles and avoid the gender issue altogether. He'd just say something "gender vague" about all being welcome in the kingdom of god.
I mean in the Bible he referred to "eunuchs". He might say something like <i>"there are men and there are women and there are eunuchs. But all are the same in the eyes of the father".</i>
That's not chat. But I thought you're gonna wait a year? Please do.
Really? Say you're casting for a remake of "Basic Instinct" about a married man who has an affair with a woman who begins stalking him. Can a woman play the "married man"? Yeah, sure, it's possible. But are you really gonna cast a woman for that role? The script specifies a man.
If you change the whole story around and have a man stalking a woman, or a woman stalking her lesbian lover, that changes the script.
Movie roles have gender.
You're confusing jobs like director and composer which have no gender, with onscreen roles which can and usually do specify a male or a female.
I don't "chat". That day will never come.
Meh, we argued when I first joined MovieChat. I bear no grudges.
I'm a manufacturing manager. And I support immigrant labor in this country. They do the jobs that Americans won't do and they do them better. Lol. Few blacks or whites ever apply for hard labor manufacturing jobs, at least in Los Angeles where I live.
<i><blockquote>Even acting should not be separated by sex / gender because why? Can't actresses be better at acting againts actors? There is no best female director category at the Oscars. There is no best female composer category. There is no best female special effects category. Why are there best female acting categories? Because sexist Hollywood doesn't want a woman to be able to beat a man in acting. At least a man will always win the best actor. So ridiculous!</i></blockquote>
I see your point but I have to disagree with you there. Obviously a director is a director and to have a best female director and a best male director would be blatantly sexist. Gender has no bearing on directing. The same is not true in acting.
I applaud the differences between men and women. I love it. (Otherwise what's the point in being gay or straight?) And that's why it's absurd for transwomen, biological males, to compete against women in sports. But you can't extrapolate that to acting, since most acting roles have gender written into the character.
But I fear that soon the gender neutralists will try to eliminate the difference between best actor and best actress as well. I think that's foolish.
Sexual equality - YES. Transgender rights - don't discriminate based on gender choice alone. But lets be real and accept the biological differences between males and females.
I'm "gay" but I have always ignored the Gay Olympics. That's like having a black Olympics. And they probably have one. Lol.
But as far as I know there has never been discrimination in the real Olympics on the basis of homosexuality because we've always been there and we need no special support. It may be safe to say that because ancient Greece accepted bisexuality as the norm, the ancient Olympics were already queer anyway.
So no, a Gay Olympics is unnecessary.
And you put it beautifully, sexual preference has no bearing on sports performance. However, biology DOES.
I did some quick googling, and it sounds like the Gay Olympics includes trans athletes. So maybe that's the place for them. I just object to people confusing transgender with homosexual. They are very different states of being.
So true about border brothers. They do a much better job than Americans born here, white or black.
Transgender Olympics lol. The problem is they claim to be the same as biological women. So they will call that transphobic and segregation under prohibitions on "separate but equal".
This controversy about biological "males" competing in women's sports will be what undoes this transgender movement - or at least the most extreme elements of it.
It looks bad:
<blockquote>Nickelodeon star Drake Bell opens up about his child endangerment conviction
Nickelodeon star Drake Bell, who was sentenced to two years of probation and community service in July of 2021 after pleading guilty to charges related to his online conduct with an underaged fan, has spoken about the details of his case.
"It's not me telling you that the claims are false, but the state of Ohio has proven claims to be false. If these claims were remotely true, my situation would be very different. I would not be here at home with my wife and my son," he continued.
As per the Hollywood Reporter, in July, Drake Bell was sentenced to two years of probation and 200 hours of community service on child endangerment charges for his alleged conduct with a young fan, whom he met online and then in person, which reportedly went on for years.
Bell said, "I responded to a fan whose age I didn't know. When I became aware of their age, all conversation and communication stopped. This individual continued to come to shows and pay for meet-and-greets, and although I was unaware that this was the same person I was communicating with online, that's what I pled guilty to."

Yes, I agree. Cameron just added nudity.
So the parent was an asshole. It depends on the degree. I used to think my dad psychologically abused me by working all the time and being a grump when he was home. And he did. Still he put a roof over my head and they bought me everything I wanted. He wasn't perfect and neither am I.
Roots are ancestral and go back hundreds of years. We also share uncanny genealogical similarities to our parents.
"Psychological abuse" might be too vague and it can mean anything.
If a parent beats a child or if there is sexual molestation, those are deal beakers.
But being a "creep"? Maybe one's dad is an arrogant asshole. Maybe one's mom was a nasty bitch. Still, those are their own demons. If the parents did care for their children and not abuse them, the child at least owes them a hello before die.
Sorry about that. In 1976, he starred in the movie <i>Mohammad, Messenger of God</i>. So being born in Syria, I made the assumption.
I'm Greek Orthodox myself. In the Middle East most Arab Christians are Greek Orthodox. It's really the oldest Christian church in the Holy Land.
I'm just giving the other perspective. I just know from my own experience, and I felt I had legitimate reasons to hate my father, that it's probably best to make amends. Parents are human and flawed just as we are. I think we expect perfection from them as kids.
