R14, I can’t tell from the one photo as a girl. Judging just from that, I would have said, “maybe.”

I checked out an episode of Champions, and now I think it is less likely, but maybe there’s been a nose job.

I think the short platinum hair is kinda cute, big eyes, sort of Cupid’s bow lips. Not an ugly girl, not a beautiful girl. I’d have to see the new show to decide if it’s ridiculous. -R13

I remember a film with Corey Haim back in the 80's where he dresses like a girl, he was a hot guy and he made a hot girl. That's not the usual case, because a lot of handsome guys have too masculine features, but if you are so so as a guy the probabilities of being very good looking as a girl are not too high.

This seems a new trend of fantasy, like when they made the last version of Heathers and transform what should have been a bunch of marginal girls in the queen bee and her entourage

How dare you assume his identity!

I know I’m lucky to be able to do what I love. But I also feel like I let myself be shoved into a box: “J.J. Totah, gay boy.”

When I was really young, growing up in a small town in Northern California, people would just assume I was gay. On the playground, I was the type of kid who wanted to sing with the girls, not play soccer with the boys. Then I found myself playing that role once I got into the entertainment industry,

This is not something that just happened. This is not a choice that I made. When I was five, long before I understood what the word gender meant, I would always tell my mother that I wished I were a girl. Since I could speak in full sentences, I was like, “Give me a dress!”

by Anonymousreply 96January 8, 2020 1:40 PM

R94: That's absurd. Every gay actor who had work before coming out still has work now, while trans roles are very few.

The fact that trans activist make a show everytime a trans character is played by a non trans actor probably had the effect of shut efectively any project with trans characters from a big studio. And of course it puts a limit on the kind of trans character to play, because you can't show the character pre transition.

Trans characters are limited to very few tv shows and small indie films, and i don't think this is going to change anytime soon.

So it's way easier to find a job like an openly gay actor (specially if you have a good career and reputation behind).

Anyway, the big faliure of the premise is not cast a trans actor, is cast Josie as the queen bee of the high school. It's the type of delusional thinking sometimes HW shows. It's curious that you have most of the time gorgeous girls and boys playing the ugly friend of the main character (when sometimes they are even more handsome than the actor playing the main character) and then you have someone with a very limited attractive playing the hot girl. Sometimes if the actress/actor is good enough and has tons of charisma you can forget that he/she doesn't fit the role at all, but it's always an odd choice.

Josie could be perfect to play the sassy nerdy trans but she doesn't look like the hot cheerleader unlike your vision is failing big time

by Anonymousreply 116January 9, 2020 10:12 AM

Here's a good summary of the trans activists working the board;

A thread.

I’ve started to notice a pattern to all these conversations with the Genderists who want women’s stuff.

First they come in all sweet and hurt. Why won’t you just let us pee?

Then if that doesn’t work, they move on to manipulation. TWAAANSPHOBE usually

1/ gets hurled at this point. This will accompany lots of other manipulation techniques where they try to claim they have the high road.

Third comes the rage. Often accompanied by the death threats or the threats to deplatform or get you unemployed.

Last is blocking. 2/ It’s important the Genderists keep their bubble. They must get constant reinforcement for their cult. They will use the word “validation”. They will use terms such as “you are erasing us”.

Do not misunderstand. They are skills manipulators. But it helps when you can 3/ see the games.

Get familiar with DARVO. Deny, Accuse, Reverse Victim and Offender. This will happen. A LOT. They will accuse you of exactly what they are doing. It actually helps understand what they are doing.

4/ For your own sanity, you can just look at as a child’s game of Opposite Day.

They will twist things you’ve said. This is a known time waster. So at that point you are spinning your wheels saying that’s not what I said.

It’s easier to simply point out you see the game. 5/ 6/

1. Bat their eyes and play victim 2. Manipulate with useless conversations, endless discussions about what biology means. 3. Attempts to control with TWAAANSPHOBIA hurled. 4. Rage and death threats 5. Blocking/shunning/evicting 7/.

What you will never see is any acknowledgement of anyone who is being affected by their behavior. The Extreme Genderists are remarkably lacking in empathy. No conversation will ever take anyone else into consideration. They don’t even see you. 8/

You’ll break your back trying to be kind and trying to find a solution that works for both of you. They only seek solutions that work for them.

Once you see these patterns it gets easier not to be swayed by the games and not to be manipulated. 9/

If you feel your heart pounding, that’s you being manipulated. If you find yourself rushing to defend yourself. You are being manipulated. If you are making concessions and receiving zero consideration in return, you are being manipulated. 10/. And if you think all this is crazy, it is. You are not wrong. Do not doubt yourself. You are correct.

Up is not down. Black is not white. The earth is not flat. Men are not women.

You can support trans people as people who should have the same rights as anyone.

I don't, however, support the "trans women are women" sloganeering or the bullying that trans activists do to try to get what they want - which is an ever-increasing list of demands, more and more ridiculous with each new year.

Biological men will never be women, and vice versa. Biological men should not be competing against women in sporting events.

Gender self-id is stupid at best and dangerous to women at worst. Call yourself what you want, but that does not magically transform you into a different sex or unsexed, and I am not obligated to use your pronouns-du-jour to refer to you.

Real trans just want to live their lives whereas TRAs want attention and behave like spoiled children. They are a combination of the Millennial generation mindset, the Instagram "look at me" mindset, and use pseudo-scientific babble to justify their desires, and bully anyone who doesn't give them what they want.

Enough.

Well, in this case, I think he was. Because he was an openly gay pre-teen and teen actor. Somewhere along the line he got it into his head that he should jump on the trans bandwagon in order to get more attention because he saw how limiting being an incredibly effeminate gay male would be for his career.

[quote] Will we see LGBT characters in The Land of Stories?

There already are LGBT characters in The Land of Stories. I guess I just haven’t made their orientation a part of the plot yet.

What a fucking coward. Sorry totally off topic.

Colfer wanted that straight cash for his books.

by Anonymousreply 217January 13, 2020 6:32 AM

I don't blame Colfer. He's young and relatively new to writing and he's scared about leaning too closely to the gay angle because it could potentially dash any future he has with writing YA. Or maybe he just doesn't want to be the kind of gay guy that makes everything in his life about homosexuality.

by Anonymousreply 218January 13, 2020 7:47 AM

Writing a gay protagonist is not making everything about homosexuality. Why wouldn't a gay writer create gay protagonists is beyond me, it's like asking why straights wouldn't write their protagonists straight which they always do. It takes no more effort to make his protagonist gay as him. It changes little to nothing to the story, yet it makes people see themselves in it.

This is pushing it a little too far. The ancestors of the Jews seem to have been nomads, possible a tribe called the Habiru, and not the settled Philistines/Peleset/Palestinians. It seems clear both sides saw the other as very distinct, separate tribes.

They're not, Jews were. As a matter of fact many semitic Muslims are just Jewish converts, more so in Palestine than anywhere else. Many Yishuv Jews are/were Palestinians.

I think there's some people here with vision issues if they are fooled about sex by some heavy make up. Get to an optometrist asap.

No shit, younger trans people with a teen figure and looks, will "pass" somewhat, but that's only because a lot of young people get away with being androgynous in appearance until they grow into their full adult bodies. So, sure, some young men, through the use makeup, feminine clothing, and sometimes hair, will of course get away with looking female-ish for awhile, better than men older than 30, but only for so long. Take away the decoration paint and it's even more apparent.

It's not trans roles that are a problem either, it's the pandering and ass kissing about how the person is so attractive, talented, or whatever, because being trans have been made trendy.

Sweetie, that's my point. Converts. We are all a mix of something over thousands of years. None of us is "pure." So when Roseanne shows up and on day one gets more rights than some old Palestinian woman, that is in fact a disgrace. Roseanne shouldn't have more claim just because she's a Jew *today*

I get mistaken all of the time for Israeli BY JEWS. I'm only half-Palestinian and I get it. Why do you think that is? The point is that Palestinians have always been there on that land. This nonsense that the land was ever only occupied by Jews whoa re Jewish TODAY is ludicrous to anyone without a political agenda. Genetic material doesn't give a shit about your ideology.

None. We're here talking about a gay writer who pays lip service to representation all the time yet won't write one in his book series. Simple as that. He could have made his protagonist gay and marrying a man. He didn't. He's a coward and please spare me the excuse gays shouldn't have to write themselves in books. Every straight writer writes about themselves in books. so that won't cut it.

I'm not surprised Jazz was mentioned either, with how similar they seem to look, except for weight. I can't understand supporting a movement with gems like "get me dress" being a good reason for making children medical dependents for life.

Who ever thought parents would be rushing young boys in for "sex changes" over stuff like expressing interest in feminine clothing. This is regressive shit.

No that's not what he said, that's what it was twisted as to dogpile him for not falling in line.

He basically said toddlers shouldn't be thrown into being gendered by their parents. To just let them be kids at that age. He's right, any parent claiming their 2 year old is trans, should be looked at with a lot of suspicion. They are no different than that abusive, grifter mother of Gypsy Rose.

My guess is that he took the job because 1, it's a payday, and 2, he didn't grovel enough yet.

Besides all the other glaring issues with the mainstream trans movement (note; I'm specifically pointing at the loud obnoxious "activists" leading the charge, not at all trans people), the biggest one is the targeting of minors, then downplaying the major, sometimes lifelong side effects of serious medications and surgeries.

Previous studies showed that the majority of children with body dysphoria recovered post puberty with no medical intervention (drugs and surgery.) Over 80% in fact. They like to gloss over how many of the children tended to be LGB.

Young people should socially shake up gender expectations. There's nothing wrong with that at all. Medical intervention of this severity for young people is what is wrong, and the media is pushing along the propaganda that it's okay to medically alter minors.

They throw a couple of somewhat "passing" mouthpieces at the public, combined with the undercurrent of homophobia that never went away, and presto! You have narcissistic parents on it like flies on shit, especially with all the kudos and attention for being such an enlightened parent.

They join previously announced series lead Josie Totah as well as John Michael Higgins, who will play the principal of Bayside High.

I bet every episode will play like a Very Special Episode.

Haskiri Velazquez plays Daisy, a smart, ambitious sophomore who is excited at the prospect of attending Bayside High after her local school gets shut down.

Hoog plays Mac Morris, the handsome, charming, privileged son of Governor Zack Morris.

Pascual-Pena plays Aisha, Daisy’s fun-loving, but ultracompetitive best friend. She grew up playing on boys’ sports teams and causes a stir when she tries to play football at Bayside.

Cameli plays Jamie Spano, the captain of the Bayside football team and Jessie’s sensitive man-child son.

In the new “Saved by the Bell,” California governor Zack Morris (Gosselaar) gets into hot water for closing too many low-income high schools and proposes they send the affected students to the highest performing schools in the state, including Bayside High. The influx of new students gives the overprivileged Bayside kids a much needed and hilarious dose of reality.
