Transgenderism is a mental disorder. Apologizing for a movie made in 1991 not meeting *today's standards* is also a mental disorder.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-15560789/oscar-transgender-silence-lambs.html

Team behind Oscar-winning 90s horror movie regarded as one of greatest ever issue groveling apology to the TRANSGENDER community 35 years on


quote:

Creators of the Oscar-winning horror flick The Silence of the Lambs have expressed 'regret' toward the transgender community over one of the movie's characters.

Even though the cult classic came out 35 years ago on February 14, 1991 critics have become outraged that it does not live up to modern social standards.

So much so, actor Ted Levine and producer Edward Saxon have apologized for the decades-old misstep.


quote:

Despite its many accolades and worldwide acclaim, Levine's adaptation of Buffalo Bill has been criticized for perpetuating homophobic and transphobic stereotypes.


quote:

Levine told the Hollywood Reporter there are 'certain aspects' of the film that fail to meet modern standards.

'There are certain aspects of the movie that don't hold up too well,' he said.

'We all know more, and I'm a lot wiser about transgender issues. There are some lines in that script and movie that are unfortunate.'


I am sure the 6 children that were just murdered by yet another transgender freak are breathing a sigh of relief. Oh wait...

The left believes the only people who should be depicted as murderers are straight white Christian conservative men.

Anything else is transphobic, homophobic, racist, sexist, etc.

“Ted, your acting career is in the crapper. I can’t buy you an audition. You’ve done nothing since Blow. This is it - get out there and make a statement on something controversial - guns, trans, illegals, drugs, I don’t care. Just say something to be relevant”

I would say on the news items we see almost weekly in this day and age, the depiction held up extremely well.

Dammit, and I liked Ted Levine in everything he did.

He was good in Monk.

Also, if I remember correctly, didn't they say that Buffalo Bill "wasn't a real transsexual" anyway? What more do these people want?

...Or was that the problem? Portraying someone that "thinks they are a transsexual" but really aren't? Anyone who thinks they are a transsexual actually *IS* a transsexual - there are no "fakes"?

You don't hate Hollywood enough.

But, I do. Hollywood gets NONE of my money. I pay for internet service and that's it. As far as what a couple of my hi-tech friends have set me up with? Those are just unfounded rumors.

I mostly watch (free) Youtube, anyway. Best format on the internet, even if YT is controlled by Marxist scum (I don't know exactly what they are, but they will shadowban the hell out of conservatives).

RIP, Hollywood. You went from fighting in World War II to loving everything woke and hating real America. #FAFO

He was also Monk's boss, Captain Leland Stottlemeyer, in the TV series, "Monk."

Then why did Netflix just release that series Monster? When will they release their apology?

Because trans folks don’t kill others. They are the nicest sanest folks on earth.

The first sentence of your post casts doubt on the credibility of anything you have to say. The plight of white conservative men is so tragic. I’m not sure how we can we can go on….

He’d gain more ground if he apologized to the morbidly obese. Or maybe entomologists, or seamstresses.
