@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.
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.
>"...books, with a transgender agenda? I don't agree."
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?
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.
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.

> People want to compete?
Anyone can practice sport, also transgenders. Anyone can compete, also transgenders.
But a professional athlete is paid also because they are "role-models". For inspiring man and woman. And a man winning against women because he/she is transgender has no "commercial" value IMHO. It is like paying for seeing America's Cup won by a speedboat against sailing ships. Like a man winning because I know he is doped. Ok, the majority of athletes are doped, but at least I can pretend to not know. But a transgenders is for sure "doped" if she competes against other women, because she is not "natural".
@mzan @freemo @Pat Oh, as soon as you introduce commercial value here, i'm out. Looking at the aspect of commercializing sports, i see no value for mankind delivered.
