So a "trans" actor was supposedly playing a "cis" person? I thought that sort of thing wasn't allowed nowadays.

Or do the new authoritarian rules only go one way: trans and gay can play any part they want, but so-called "cis" and straight actors can only play "cis" and straight characters? If that's the case, damn Cher and Diana Scarwid for playing lesbians in "Silkwood," damn Daniel Day-Lewis for playing a hot gay guy in "My Beautiful Launderette," damn Tom Hanks and Antonia Banderas for playing gay lovers in "Philadelphia"... and damn so many more over the years. What horrible people all those actors are for showing they can play a wide range of human characters.

Next thing they'll probably be saying "cis" and straight actors can only have "vanilla" sex on screen.

It's trans privilege.

Just like the person on reddit last night who called me a terf... I quickly browsed through his history and he claims he's a woman, a transwoman, nonbinary, a lesbian AND most of his posts are in r/mensrights. So he gets to claim the whole spectrum while yelling at me for not wanting to be called a cervix-haver. Trans privilege!

Strange how often this is the case, hmm? I once argued something related to feminism against a man who claims to be a man and a man who claims to be a woman. Strangely, it was exactly like arguing with two men.

a transwoman, nonbinary,

I don't get this particular piece of horseshit. How can you call yourself trans, meaning you switched sides, while also insisting you have no side? Complete idiocy.
