First to steal a woman’s award
Is it “sexist” for a woman to object when a man who pretends to be a woman wins a best actress award?
The first transgender woman to be awarded the best actress prize at the Cannes film festival filed a legal complaint on Wednesday over a “sexist insult” from a far-right politician after her win. Karla Sofía Gascón and co-stars jointly received the accolade on Saturday for their performances in French auteur Jacques Audiard’s Mexico-set narco musical Emilia Perez. In the film, the 52-year-old Spanish actor – who lived as a man until she was 46 – plays a Mexican drug trafficker both before and after gender reassignment surgery.
He didn’t “live as a man” until he was 46. He simply was a man, and he still is.
After
herwin, French far-right politician Marion Maréchal, granddaughter of National Front founder Jean-Marie Le Pen, posted on X: “So a man has won best actress. Progress for the left means the erasure of women and mothers.”
I’m sorry she’s the granddaughter of Le Pen, but she’s still right. Men stealing women’s awards is men stealing women’s awards, and yes it is erasure.
Gascón, through her lawyer, told AFP: “We need to stop such comments.” Her lawyer Etienne Deshoulières said she had filed a legal complaint for “sexist insult on the basis of gender identity”.
If a kid puts on a bear suit and a parent reminds the kid “You’re not actually a bear” does the kid have grounds to sue?

“We need to stop such comments”.
The erasure of free speech is one of the hallmarks of transgender ideology.
Er, where is the sexist insult? Is it ‘man’?
The frightening thing is, in many jurisdictions, genderists have the power to enforce this, with large swathes of legislatures, courts, and police forces completely captured and doing their bidding. In the long run you can’t win against the facts of material reality, but in the short run, the mischief the ideologues have been empowered to indulge in allows them to punish those who speak the truth. They’re trying to bully them into recantation, while silencing others who might be thinking of objecting or resisting.
From Sackbut’s comment #368 in Miscellany 11:
Now that is cute. Trans no longer refers to a person’s gender identity but to the temporary process of transition itself, like the pupal stage in the transition of a caterpillar to a butterfly – or probably more appropriately from a maggot to a housefly.
I see your housefly and raise you botfly
@5 Unfortunately, Ivermectin doesn’t do much for trans problems (or covid 19 problems). However, it’s quite effective on bots!
