The Golden Globes awards are over and time to move onto the Oscars. Emilia Perez the movie about a drug cartel lord who transitions to become a TIM, won some awards but critics including some from Rolling Stones, GLAAD, and Pink News don't think much of the movie
The title from Rolling Stones review: Mexican film fans criticized the musical for being "full of stereotypes," while GLAAD called it a "step back" for transgender representation
What a surprise to me. I would never would have linked stereotyping to males who are transvestites or TIM. Rolling Stones Admittedly though the complaints are about stereotyping of Mexican people.
Pink News wrote the film, “loses all nuance when it comes to trans identity,”
GLAAD included reviews from multiple critics:
This is also the plot of Mrs. Doubtfire, but Mrs. Doubtfire is a good film because it understands how absurd the character is. Emilia Pérez doesn’t know how absurd she is.
Again I am surprised. TIMs understand how absurd their characters are?
But we need the largely (read almost entirely) cisgender voting bodies of awards season to tread carefully when embracing this narrative
Ah, a threat that brings to mind the attack from the trans community on the NY Times a few years ago. GLAAD
Karla Sofía Gascón, the TIM actor who plays both a man and a TIM in Emilia Perez gave a speech at the Golden Globes and he once again barely held back his sobs as he talked about how dangerous it is to be a TIM and how unfair life has been.
The NY Times is preparing for the Oscar win of Harper and Will This week there was an article about Harper's jewelry some of which his sister gave to him after he transitioned and other pieces perhaps stolen from his grandmother. I only skimmed the article so am not clear. Yes diamonds are a girls best friend and Harper mentions several times that he is connecting with his own and his family's feminine side. Being the awful person that I am I couldn't help but notice Harper's slightly club fingers. That's ok, ok and I should stop thinking about Norman Bates.
To be fair and honest - there are a lot of men on the childfree reddit sub. (I've also seen trans people there, fishing for validation .. ugh!) Parents do get called breeders, and there are terms for children that I'd rather not repeat, so it's not all daisies and roses. But given the subject of conversation, I'm not mad when discussions get heated. I've read your other comment, and for me you really nailed it. If mothers are so happy with their life, why are they so mad the second childfree women talk about their lifes? I've seen other users here argue that even calling ourselves "childfree" is fundamentaly wrong.
I really don't get it. I don't want children and I get shit for it all the time. Why am I not allowed to be annoyed about that? And talk about being annoyed? Why are only mothers allowed to talk about their struggles? Instead I have to listen to constant arguments that I'll regret not having children, when I'm old and dried up(!!!) and becoming a mother is the true meaning of life for every woman. - I'm happy for everyone who feels that way. Enjoy your life and let me enjoy mine. Why is it impossible for mothers and childfree women to co-exist?
Well that's fair, men are disgusting about everything.
Also you're right, mothers say that type of misogynistic stuff to us all the time but if we mention it we're the misogynists somehow.
