>Showtime’s “Billions” doesn’t premiere until Feb. 19, but producers say the show’s second season will feature “fresh, exciting energy,” courtesy of a new character that’s believed to be a first for mainstream television.
>Asia Kate Dillon, whose credits include “Orange is the New Black” and “Master of None,” joins the “Billions” cast as Taylor, a new intern at Axe Capital, the hedge fund run by billionaire Bobby “Axe” Axelrod (Damian Lewis). What makes the casting so groundbreaking is that both Dillon and Taylor self-identify as gender non-conforming.
>Dillon, who uses the singular pronoun “they” for identification, told The Huffington Post that learning to “navigate the ethically murky world of finance” as the first gender non-binary character on a major TV series was a “delicious” opportunity.
>“As someone who is non-binary gender identifying, I feel a particular responsibility to portray members of my community on stage and on screen, not only as fully fleshed-out characters who are integral to the plot, but as characters whose gender identity is just one of many parts that make up the whole person,” Dillon, who hails from Ithaca, New York, said. “I also feel I have a responsibility to portray members of my community as accepted, loved and valued.”
>As someone who is non-binary gender identifying, As someone who gets easily annoyed at people who preface all their statements with "As someone who ...", this pisses me off.

So gender neutral/non conforming means you just shave your head and wearing boring clothes? Isnt this the kind of shit that all those sci fi stories about horribly oppressive societies warned us about? How is this a first?
This is the equivalent of everyone picking the good topics for a project so you get the last, shitty topic no one else wanted so you just shit out whatever you got the night before it's due. Except its with identity politics in TV.

I hate this pick-and-choose attitude. Why can't I, as a man who looks like a fucking man, just walk around telling people I'm a woman? Why can't I just say "Oh because I dress like a man and look like a man, that doesn't mean I am a man!" Because that's fucking stupid. Obviously I am a man. And obviously this is a fucking chick with a buzzcut.
Hudson Myers
Basically kids realized that, linguistically, "gender", "sex", and "sexuality" are three separate concepts that are not intrinsically linked.
However, they took this to mean "I can be any combination of those three determiners including all or none!" instead of realizing that those terms are used descriptively and not prescriptively, and only exist because of the well-known natural patterns of genetics that have yet to cease being common patterns.

Gender and sex were synonyms until some publish or perish asshat forced a distinction by dropping "roles" from "gender roles" in order to make his bullshit more controversial/meaningful and not just a reiteration of obvious bullshit.
Hudson Jackson
Someone else put it in a really nice way. All this crazy gender shit is just the western form of chuunibyou.

>Woah, I never knew you were trans. Congratulations on- EXCUSE ME? Just because I'm wearing a dress, these heels, and this hair style, suddenly I'm not a man? I'm still a man, and I can dress how I please. >H-hey, that's cool! Drag is awesome and really shows that you're proud of- DRAG? I'm wearing CLOTHES, not a COSTUME. Is it Halloween? Is this a masquerade ball? I'm just dressed. Would you prefer I go naked? >Hey, glad you could show your true colors! Having an LGBT ally is- What makes you think I'm any of those letters? I'm a man. I enjoy being a man. I am sexually attracted to women. Just because I'm wearing a dress doesn't mean I have some anti-straight-cis agenda. >Look, no one wants to see all that... hair. Wear some real men's clothes and- Stop oppressing me with your stereotypical and outdated masculine ideals IT'S MY BODY AND I CAN DRESS HOW I WANT REEEEEEEEEEE
>people instinctively think that because of the clothes, wig, and bitchy self-righteous attitude that I'm some kind of SJWLGBTOMGBBQAT-AT >no one bats an eye when I walk straight into the girl's change room, because no one knows if or what kind of trans-whatever I am and no one wants to risk being "problematic", especially girls

This is what the elites want, a globalized mass of nationless, raceless, genderless, thoughtless, soulless cattle to rule over.
Aaron Collins
"Gender" and "sex" are actually separate concepts though.
"Gender" is your "mental sex". It's the way you dress, talk, act, etc., whether masculine or feminine. No one really cares about "gender" because it really only determines spending habits. "Sex" is your "physical sex", it's those fleshy bits between your legs that you were BORN with. This is what makes someone a man or a woman, and provides them with their gender.
Now, the two have gotten wires crossed before. It is historically known that there have been cases of people who swear honestly that they are of a gender that doesn't match their sex. The thing is- this used to be a PROBLEM. These victims realized that there was a serious discrepancy, and sought psychological HELP.
The problem now is that instead of recognizing this as a problem, we're saying "NO, THAT'S YOU! IT'S WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT MAKES YOU SPECIAL, JUST LIKE OBESITY, YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOUR FUCKED UP BODY WHETHER YOU MADE IT THAT WAY OR IT JUST GOT FUCKED UP ON ITS OWN! YOU GO GET THAT SURGERY TO MUTILATE YOUR GENITALS AND TRY TO CONVINCE EVERYONE TO RECOGNIZE YOU AS THE SEX YOU AREN'T EVEN IF YOU BLATANTLY AREN'T TO THE CASUAL OBSERVER, GURL! SURELY YOU WON'T REGRET THIS WHEN YOU'VE PUSHED AWAY ANY AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE WITH WELL-ADJUSTED WORLDVIEWS WHO SEE YOU AS AN ANNOYING FREAK, AND ONLY ATTRACT THE TRANNY SEEKERS WHO ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT DISGUST YOU MORE THAN YOURSELF!"
Bentley Turner
>can't they just focus on how capitalism / usury / "the markets" are destroying the world No for the retards that write these TV shows it's not that our are modern economic system is dehumanizing and horrible. It's making sure that minorities know that they have a chance to pull themselves up by their "bootstraps" and beat poor people's faces into the dirt just like any man can.

Zachary Sullivan

See, that's the difference between rational people and SJWs.
An average, mature person might see how ridiculous the state of society is becoming, and have an amusing fantasy about taking the piss out of it and abusing it to show it's flaws, but never actually go through with it because it's a silly idea and would never go as planned.
The SJW would see this as a brilliant plan and actually work to make it reality. Then, when it inevitably fails, convinces nobody, achieves nothing, and ultimately blows up in their face, they start to scream and/or cry and make a big enough scene that people try to take it seriously out of pity.

I had my skin bleached/tinted, got a hair transplant, and had facial reconstruction surgery! I always felt like an ethnic person in a local body, and now I'm the ethnic person I really am inside! >I'm YOU! I always felt like you inside, so I got the surgery, bought the clothes, did the research/spying, and rehearsed the vocal characteristics and physical mannerisms! Now that my body fits my real self inside, there's only one thing missing that I have to fix: It wouldn't make much sense if there were two of you walking around, would it?
Kevin Torres
>Be who you want to be, but there are some things you gotta get fucking realistic about You'd be surprised how they're even trying to stretch that.
I would never recommend even glancing at /lgbt/, but those people are fucked. They literally make up excuses and lies indefinitely to cover up the fact that they can't get pregnant, never get wet naturally, and never menstruate to their partners, in the rare chance they tri- I mean, attract a non-chaser partner. Needless to say, relationships founded on deception rarely last, or end nicely.

because it centers around the 'idea' of feminity rather than what it actually is. You could also ask a man who identifies as a woman why he doesnt walk around in a burka, considering thats what the idea of a woman is in saudia arabia. Or why they dont walk around topless like a Nambian women would. The reason is its all subjective and the rules applied to a society were placed there for a purpose.
I dont go walking around Iran or Saudi Arabia with my cock out looking for blowies because of the unwritten rules of that society prevent me through shame. In America we just dont have any shame anymore, so we get this instead.

This is so fucking stupid and doesn't make any linguistic sense, it's set up to create misunderstanding and to be obnoxious. If you want to be neither "he" or "she" we have a category for you already. "It".
But using existing language and making your special snowflake status slightly easier on other people defeats the entire purpose of imposing yourself as a gigantic twat on everyone's existence.

The reason you cant be a dragon is because "probably" your mom hasnt fucked a dragon and you cant have that feeling without KNOWING what dragons are.
Meanwhile as a vegentleman(man with vagina) even before i knew what trans stuff was or even that i liked men, i was disgusted by the idea of sticking my dick in anything, it was simply wrong and repulsive, my dick was just a useless disconnected part of my whose only use was the occasionally fap as a tool of pleasure, i will be very happy to get rid of it.
So yeah, i might not be binary trans but there is definitely something in there that pushes you towards your true self, some might be women, some might be men, some can be something inbetween
