Adult Babies Shriek Obscenities at Director of 1999 Pro-"Trans" Film Boys Don't Cry for Being Insufficiently Pro-"Trans"

Someone, I forget who, postulated the beginning of the end for this militant Snowflakism would be when they began to piss off their chief propaganda organ -- Hollywood -- enough that even Hollywood said, "Fuck these hysterical Adult Babies."

We're getting there.


The students hurled a litany of insults at [Boys Don't Cry director Kimberly] Peirce, putting up posters that read "fuck your transphobia" and "you don't fucking get it" among other things. Worse, when Peirce ascended to her podium, students had placed a sign there. It read "fuck this cis white bitch." That Peirce is actually gender-fluid is quite beside the point.

The students' unbelievable rudeness crossed the line into a kind of censorship when Peirce tried to speak: the students simply shouted over her. Eventually they let her talk, but some students continued to yell things like "fuck your respectability politics" and "fuck you scared bitch."

...

You're probably [] wondering why the social justice left hates Peirce so much. Well, the film was ahead of its time in 1999, but in 2016 it's problematic. That's because the main character, Brandon, was played by Hilary Swank, a non-trans person. Students were also incensed at the idea of Peirce having profited from violence against trans people, which isn't a remotely accurate way to characterize things, but there it is.

University officials bothered doing what they never bother doing when the Adult Babies shout down a conservative -- they chided (gently) the Adult Babies.

So I looked up Ms Peirce and she is clearly a woman, albeit with a poor fashion sense.

It used to be, in the long ago of say 2000, that if a woman wanted to dress in a more masculine style and cut her hair short that everyone thought she was still a woman.

Well, I am glad to know that in our more enlightened times the definition of a woman now is just someone with long hair and a skirt.

Of course William Wallace might not be so happy about it.

65 Like all religions Marxism has fanatics. What they lack is a canonical central core. Christians and Jews can always look to the Bible. Even the Muslims have their Koran, sadly.

95 It is instructive to ask those screeching away like this what they want. Just a very neutral question okay what do you want?


Because, you see, I've read some about intersectionality and transpolitics and all the rest and, as far as I can tell, at heart it is essentialist in nature. I am nothing but my skin color and my neurobiology and the socioeconomic status into which I am born and I can never ever ever be other than that.

It is, fundamentally, an anti-human movement that is deeply, deeply racist and sexist at its core.

I remember the "trans" girl being pretty much the villain, telling her lover she was a guy when she was in fact Hillary Swank with a rubber wiener.

Posted by: Boulder terlit hobo at December 09, 2016 12:46 PM (nPyvT)

97 This is the result of teaching people to judge the past with modern standards. In 1999 casting a "trans" actor would have been nary impossible--for a multitude of reasons.

I pointed out to a liberal friend of mine that the gay activists of the 1970s who did so much for the gay rights movement would be considered hateful by most activists today because they didn't support gay marriage. And it wasn't just that they didn't think they could get it yet, it was that they actually didn't want it.

Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of this nonsense.

130 According to feminists there is no real definition of what a woman is supposed to be like. So, if I'm a man identifying as a woman but dressing and acting in all ways like a classical man, aren't I just as good of a woman as if I wore dresses and makeup?

And if so, what exactly does being trans mean? Is it reduced to just genitals? That seems... mental-illness-y.

The whole thing is so self-contradictory at its core that it gives me a headache to even try to understand it.

132 Like all religions Marxism has fanatics. What they lack is a canonical central core. Christians and Jews can always look to the Bible. Even the Muslims have their Koran, sadly. But the Marxists argue nuance without reference to anything. Their battles are all context based, and can yield different answers in different circumstances.

I'm glad for this, because it's why they fail and why, 100% of the time, they eat their own.

Have you ever heard Marxists arguing fine points of Marxist theology? It's very much like Monty Python's skit re the People's Front of Judea vs. the Judean People's Front. They argue for HOURS about miniscule point of Marxist doctrine ("does the working class need a revolutionary vanguard, or can the proletariat build Communism by itself?" that sort of thing.)

Posted by: ace at December 09, 2016 12:41 PM (8rNrN)

Yeah, Milo has talked about this. His point is that male homosexuality has existed throughout history, while trannies are just mainly mentally ill people with disturbed body images who are akin to anorexics who falsely see an obese pig in the mirror when in reality they weigh 90 lbs.

Also, I would add that anybody who knows anything about gay men knows their phallic worship is extreme. Why they would admire other guys who want to cut their dicks off is a mystery.

What this shows to me is that the alliances the Left has been forging under the rubric of identity politics are falling apart. You can lump trannies in with gay people, but in reality they don't like each other much. You can lump Mexicans in with blacks, but in the inner cities, Hispanic and black gangs fight each other.

Medieval class culture - you're born into your class and nothing can move you except to move into the clergy.

If you're born into a white family, you are a de facto peasant, unless you're a man who is also born into a rich capitalist white family, in which case you're a serf.

The classes get progressively less restrictive from there until you get, presumably, the Royalty of Black Gay Transgender with a foot fetish (or something like that).

The only way to move up in society is to join the clergy - the Social Justice Warriors - and even then you're limited.

The Halo Effect that must be applied to movie characters is frustrating because the actual messiness of human lives is more interesting than the Hero version.

But that requires skill and nuance to write and there's a reason that 99% of everything is crap.

In wildly different news, I read a review of Silence, the new Scorsese movie, and the reviewer found it very moving and meaningful and that was coming from someone who noted that s/he was an atheist and still found the mediation on the power of faith quite powerful.

Scorsese may be the exception to the rule that directors should never actually make their life long dream work because they're too close to the subject to be objective about it.

The point is that they've declared that you are a BAD person because of physical characteristics (skin color) and normally expressed gender/heterosexuality, so there is nothing you can do to fix or overcome this.

The only 'trans' people I know are an hispanic guy with overly plucked eyebrows (and sometimes makeup) and an elderly man who wears hats -- with flowers. They are a regular fixture in town, so I don't get all this other stuff. You might blink if you see them; but not really an issue.

Posted by: Moron Pundit at December 09, 2016 12:44 PM

And more importantly, the differences are ignored because of a common hatred.
The gay and the trans activists --- (not to be confused with gays or trannies in general) --- are united by a Gnostic loathing of material reality (Creation) and of the Creator.

Jihadis and lefties get along just fine for the same reason. The single most important thing for both of them is the destruction of Western civilization.

No woman I have ever known, even the most 'girlie' would dress or make themselves up like that. Even the RuPaul types who have modified themselves are doing some kind of cartoonish woman parody.

The only 'trans' people I know are an hispanic guy with overly plucked eyebrows (and sometimes makeup) and an elderly man who wears hats -- with flowers. They are a regular fixture in town, so I don't get all this other stuff. You might blink if you see them; but not really an issue. The one I know socially would not even dream of using a woman's bathroom.

Yeah, I am just clueless.

Posted by: ace at December 09, 2016 12:41 PM (8rNrN)

Increasingly, Trannies are just identifying as "Trans", and not their "cis" gender, ESPECIALLY if they're M->F. There are people out there who are specifically into Pre-Op M->Fs because they want a girly looking person who has both tits and a penis.

It's slowly realizing its ultimate destiny of being just a fetish now.

272 Just going to leave this here: a thought came to me as I woke up this morning. A new, and very derogatory, term to describe M>F trannies. Call them "counterfeit women". Because it is literally true. They aren't real women, they are manufactured fakes that try to "pass" as women. Just like counterfeit dollar notes are manufactured fakes that the perps attempt to pass.

And if you want to be crude, you could shorten it up: "c*nterfeit".

284 Somebody mentioned not hearing the word "Transvestite" anymore, and that's true but largely irrelevant.

There really is a difference between a man (or woman, though it's way harder to be a transvestite woman) who simply likes to dress up like a woman and "be pretty," and someone who has an actual delusion that they are "in the wrong body."

The few transvestites I've ever run into were quite clear that a) they were weird and b) they were mostly doing what they were doing for shock-value.

The only actual transgender person I've met was so deranged in other ways that it made me sad we don't really have State Homes anymore.

301 There was an article in my (very) local newspaper this week about a
bunch of moonbats who got together in our local library to "take a
public stand against hate" - and of course by "hate" they mean "the
President-Elect of the USA". The formed a group called "Not In Our Town"
and chose "Diversity Dog" as their unofficial mascot - even managed to
get a local moonbat selectman on board, which was as surprising as a
sunrise as this particular loon has been on the board far too long and
specializes in solutions that are desperately searching for problems.

The
leader of this clown-show? a Ms. Kathleen Howley, who apparently has a nickname of, and I kid you not, "KK". She's a former senior
reporter for Bloomberg News - also a shock that a reporterette for
Bloomberg News, also a "proud gay woman who is married with one
daughter", is in charge of this train-wreck into a dumpster-fire, don't
you think?

302 As we read and hear more about these special SJW snowflakes, one can see that the word "tolerance" is being redefined.

Tolerance seems to be : we are tolerant of you as long as you believe what we believe.

And hatred will be hurled -verbally or physically - at those who disagree with them.

I believe we are seeing and hearing the extreme examples -but they are occurring more and more frequently - an infestation if you will.

The more reasonable ones (hopefully includes all of us in the horde) need to not only point and laugh, but point out the ludicrousness of their behavior, and chide them when they sit at the opposite side of a conference room table asking for a job.

We also need to stay strong to what our core beliefs are - your individual beliefs. If your faith teaches you that certain behaviors are wrong (remember: hate the sin, love the sinner) - stay strong. It won't be easy. You will be mocked, hated, and probably spit on. I look at it this way -if I haven't pissed off someone then I haven't stood up for something.

Don't be too quick to assume that that will be their future. Some will (in fact already have) end up in HR departments, making the rest of us endure "diversity workshops" and having a big say in who gets hired (White cis males need not apply.)

Some will stay in academia and go into education.

The biggest single mistake made by the right was to laugh at all those old hippies going into education in the '70's and '80's. "Ah, Reagan is president and look at these fossils on campus still talking like it's '68. Those dopey students will find out what's what once they're out of school and working." And so the PC cancer was allowed to spread (remember, Dineesh D'Sousa wrote a book about PC back in the 1980's) and now it's infected the entire campus, even hard science departments which were thought to be immune.

If we don't stop this bullshit soon, those little Nazis will be teaching your kids and grandkids to hate you, hate your values and hate this country.

John Travolta - Battlefield Earth

==================

Eh...John Travolta isn't actually a filmmaker, and the source material is nonsense.

Maybe it depends on what the passion project is.

Battlefield Earth: Pulpy nonsense designed to sell scientology.

Silence: Introspective and piercing work about faith set against 16th century Japan.

Heaven's Gate was supposed to be a dreadful failure because it was Cimino following up The Deer Hunter and it went long on production and over budget or something and the press for some reason decided to murder it.

It's a perfectly fine movie and everyone associated with it still supports it.

===================

Speed Racer I think would qualify, although I seem to like it more than the rest of the population.

Jupiter Ascending. If that movie was a passion project I sincerely hope they never get funding ever again. Well, I hope they never get funding again, anyway, but still...

==================

It's not a mess. It's pretty clear about its goals. It just takes a long time to get there, and I think the time is worth it.

I actually feel for Ann Darrow before she ever sets foot on the ship. The relationship between Ann and Kong is allowed to develop in surprisingly natural ways. Kong's downfall feels very melancholy.

Sure, he could have cut 20-30 minutes from it, but I'm completely cool with the extended dinosaur fights as long as I get quality time with the characters, which we do.

Lucy is all about Besson taking a scientifically stupid idea and turning it into a living anime. It has more in common with stuff like Ghost in the Shell than The Fifth Element.

It's dumb, but entertaining.

I love Prometheus.



I don't want to pile on, because I know I cling to some minority opinions around here, but Promethus?

"We're scientists. We've just discovered living black goo. Let's take our helmets off and poke it with a stick".


The one thing I do give it credit for is that Michael Fassbender uses Lawrence of Arabia as his model for how to be a human. That got my kids to finally watch LoA and appreciate its brilliance.

(Oddly, when you spend years telling boys that they should do something they become opposed to it on principle, rather than on merits).

497 Heaven's Gate was supposed to be a dreadful failure because it was Cimino following up The Deer Hunter and it went long on production and over budget or something and the press for some reason decided to murder it.

It's a perfectly fine movie and everyone associated with it still supports it.

I love Prometheus. It raises questions about the meaning of our origins that it has no inclination to answer, and I love that. Raising the questions and then giving me slickly produced action with some very good acting is a great time for me. I've seen it at least 5 times.

I only wish Scott has used the extended encounter with Shaw and the Engineer in the pod at the end of the movie. It plays so much better than the shortened version.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison at December 09, 2016 01:40 PM (kisKf)

512 The point is that they've declared that you are a BAD person because of physical characteristics (skin color) and normally expressed gender/heterosexuality, so there is nothing you can do to fix or overcome this.
