'It's Time for a Nonbinary Category at Awards Shows'

[quote]How can we expect voters to take the time to educate themselves on the nuances and complexities of the gender of non-binary/trans people if the governing bodies of these award shows don’t make it a priority? [bold]How are the voters supposed to see the difference between, for example, a butch lesbian vs a non-binary performance or perhaps a trans person who also identifies as non-binary?[/bold]

[quote]I didn’t choose to be nonbinary, transmasculine and at times feminine expressed — this is who I have always been. This defines who I am. We are not the elephant in the room.

How about a new competition called ‘The Tedious Awards’?

by Anonymousreply 1March 1, 2021 4:35 AM

What I think would make the most impact is a NonBinary Awards show in and of itself. And in all categories from entertainment, arts, science, literature, sports, etc. they obviously wouldn’t need separate gender categories and I think it will really help with visibility. Also they will be competing with each other and there won’t be any claims of discrimination if they don’t win. I bet the pronouns at the ceremony will be a bit of a nightmare though.

What's the point of being a trans person who identifies as non-binary?

Isn't that like being a dog who identifies as cat that wants to be a dog?

by Anonymousreply 10March 1, 2021 4:49 AM

How about we do away with all of the fucking award shows? The viewership has gone down precipitously and all we get are complaints about not enough blacks or no award for transgenders. Just fuck it and let the egomaniacs wallow in their own filth.

Do these people really think that 'non-binary' is going to catch on? That we're all going to fall all over ourselves trying to remember if you are They or Thou or Ya'll? There's going to be a lot of disappointment.

As the sibling of a trans person I applaud this decision. We need genderless categories like Best Director where it doesn't matter if you are an inseminator or a menstruator, you will be nominated based on your talent.

And if we don't acknowledge gender in acting roles then that solves the gender pay gay problem.

EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL ROLES!

Nobody but OP said it, go out to Google and do a search and see that this thread is the only thing that comes up. OP's got a habit of faking quotations and DLers have a habit of just blindly believing whatever they're told. I don't know how they make it through the day without getting scammed a dozen times.

I literally just cannot with these people anymore! How fucking extra and special do they think they are, like Shehimtheythemtheirs calm down! Isn't it enough that we somehow decided to stop labeling you as mentally ill and decided to give you a place in society? Honestly it drives me fucking insane when I see pretend men on Grindr aka butch lesbians who decided they're men now so we have to call them men but they have vaginas, or dudes in dresses but they're women. Like, y'all are nuts and society is nuts for allowing this fuckery to continue. Personally I just wanna see the trans movement separated from gay issues because the majority of these gender freaks are not gay and just dilute our agenda!

I'm interested to see what will happen with Sam Smith at the BRITs in May. If he's nominated for best male artist, the panel will be criticised for forcing "them" into the gender binary. Best female artist nomination: same problem. If he isn't nominated at all, I strongly suspect there will be accusations of transphobia, considering he was nominated after the release of both his previous albums. If he's nominated in both categories, the unfair advantage will be undeniable. If a new category is created for non-binary artists, there won't be enough nominees to fill it. And if the best male/female categories are removed after several decades just to appease one singer, a lot of people will find it ridiculous.

The "non-binary" woman on "Billions" was a regular actress for awhile. Long enough for people to know her as a she!

This strategic "non-binary" identity is a gimmick, like Miss Mazeppa. I for one would have preferred if she had decided to just bump it with a trumpet, something we all could enjoy!
