Was Jodie Foster the dykiest Disney child star ever?

Jodie Foster starred in the Disney films Freaky Friday and Candleshoe back in the ‘70s.

In both movies, she was such a BOY. She had a deep, husky voice. I mean, look at her in this photo!

I mean, she was just the EPITOME of, “That girl is going to be gay when she grows up!”

She's lucky she wasn't born this millennium or they'd trans her.

I beg to differ...

In Hollywood, Tomboy characteristics have always been seen and depicted as cute and a phase, as long as the girl is pretty and thin.

In contrast effeminate boys are seen as disgusting and a foreshadowing of a shameful life.

That's Hollywood and that has always been the way that power operates.

She was a tomboy. Tomboys are now being erased because of the trans cult.

I thought she was a boy in "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" until she appeared in a scene wearing a long skirt. I wondered for quite some time why that boy was wearing a skirt until I found out, through the credits, that it was Jodie Foster portraying an actual female character.

i bet she really squalled loudly whenever forced to wear a dress.

Yes and yes. Also agree that had she been born a few decades later she’d currently be “Johnny Foster” with a penchant for awkward self-hatred and a Frankenpenis.

OP

You are weird to sexualize children.

Androgyny was the '70s zeitgeist. That didn't change until the '80s when Reagan took office and we regressed back to "traditional values." Young girls and boys looked a lot alike.

They had the same shoulder-length hair, the same baggy flared jeans, the same Hang Ten shirts, the same sneakers. Until they began puberty it could be hard to tell whether a kid was a girl or a boy. Jodie therefore really didn't stick out as being "butch.," perhaps just a bit more of a tomboy than most. Only in retrospect does she seem that way because we know she grew up to be a lesbian.

R11, as a kid in the early ‘90s being unaware of gay stereotypes and barely aware of gay people all, I still thought Jodie Foster was like a boy when I watched her ‘70s Disney films.

I went to grade school in the seventies with a girl who looked just like Jodie Foster and SHE turned out to be a lesbian!

Did Jodie ever try to scissor with Brooke Shields? Did their paths ever cross back then? Who told John Hinckley she was a lesbian? How did they tell him?

I knew Jodie would eat pussy before I knew who ate pussy and why.

I knew who was gay and who was lesbian in my class as a very young child. Not all of them, obviously, but a lot of them. I knew which boys were like me. I knew which girls weren't like the other girls.

As kids, we can pick up the cues without knowing much about the world, or about stereotypes. We may not really know what gay means exactly and what it entails, but we recognise our own. I always knew about Jodie. We all did.

Pre-Disney -- I was not quite 10 at the time and sensed she wasn't like other tomboys (and she was a horrible child actor).

My second grade teacher was always giving us pop quizzes on the gays and dykes of Hollywood.

When I first saw Kristen Stewart in Panic Room, I was convinced she was a boy. I even thought it was a subplot of the movie!

Suzanne was not gay. She dated a friend's friend and she later married and had two kids.

Dana Hill always struck me as kind of dykey.

by Anonymousreply 28February 2, 2022 5:15 PM

Jane Withers looked like the biggest dyke in Hollywood. Apparently, she was straight.
