It only became an issue when it became political...

@freemo have you a link? I never imagined that this film can became a problem.

@mzan A link to what exactly? The film wasnt a problem, thats the point of the post. Now that "drag queen story hour" is a big issue and everyone is complaining refering to this movie is meant to contrast the absurdity, as it happened in the movie and no one gave a shit.

@freemo so are you speaking about this? https://www.dragstoryhour.org/

Are they reading normal children books? In case I agree. Are they reading "manipulated" books, with a transgender agenda? I don't agree.

@mzan they generally read perfectly normal childrens books when ive seen it.

@freemo

Some Like It Hot (1959)

Also, I think there were a couple of silent-era films that featured men in drag, but I don't remember the names.

What is a "transgender agenda". Do you mean books about the 24th Amendment, or the Preamble to the Constitution, or the introduction to the Declaration of Independence?

@Pat

A masterpiece is "The Crying Game" by Neil Jordan.

No, I mean things like "if you become a woman, you can become a professional female athlete" or "there are no differences in the mind of a man respect the mind of a woman" and other similar crazy things.

Women have a right to pursue a career in sports if they wish.

I don't understand your second quote, it doesn't make grammatical sense to me.

@freemo

@Pat

I think there is legitimate concern here about trans-women in women sports. That said I dont see the solution as "base entry on birth-sex".. the solution is much more subtle IMO and needs to be gender neutral, I dont know what that solution is. Maybe just have divisions and dont base it on gender at all.
