Why the fuck would PBS care anymore since the GOP is cutting all of their funding?
Worthless spineless cowards like this are worse than the fascists because they’re the ones who allow a minority to rule over them.
Fucking cowards.
If media can turn someone gay than rationally the inverse should be true as well so why are there still gay people when the media is 99% non gay stuff?
Do you want to know something? I never thought we’d be back to the old “If kids see queer people, they’ll turn queer” arguments.
I’ve been predicting since Trump was re-elected that within four years, LGBT content will be purged from streaming services. Netflix and Disney will probably end up doing it before they’re forced to.
Trans identies must be accept as valid period the end but I find drag often veers into “woman face” territory and it’s done for entertainment not as an expression of an authentic self, not that drag is inherently wearing woman face but a lot of performers absolutely take it there. I don’t want my children, especially my daughter watching content that exaggerates my female features for entertainment and dehumanizes women into nothing more than a caricature
Did someone let JK Rowling out of her cave?
Am I wrong? What’s the point of drag as entertainment other than to dress up as a caricature of a woman? Sorry I don’t like my identity to be used for mocking and/or entertainment. If a person has a female identity because that’s the truest form of themselves I fully support that but if you’re dressing up as a mocking version of something for entertainment it’s not at all the same thing and it’s not ok. There’s a reason you didn’t address what I said and just hopped onto essentially calling me a TERF, I may be an RF but I am not TE
Claiming to be pro-trans rights and hating actual feminist points is peak hypocrisy
You couldn’t be more wrong. Drag is often about getting in touch with one’s feminine side, and many trans and nonbinary folks use drag as a vehicle to explore their identities. It’s very much an expression of an authentic self as much as it is entertainment.
Also, drag kings are very much a thing, exploring masculinity from a feminine starting point.
If it’s not for entertainment that’s fine, which I do point out, that it’s not universal. There’s no difference in my mind between dressing up as a caricature of a woman to entertain people than there is dressing up as a caricature of any other discriminated against class for entertainment. If a person simply wants to cross dress and it’s not done with outrageous makeup, cartoonish physical proportions, over the top generalizations of women more power to them but yes, lots of drag absolutely includes the things I mentioned and no it’s not ok to put on woman face and shuck and jive for entertainment
Pretty misleading. This isn’t “PBS,” it’s one member station doing it to their local content.
PBS gives their members freedom. Can’t help it if some are conservatives or panicking over loss of local funding from their local conservative govt
As the Trump administration intensifies its attacks, PBS has bent the knee in another way to dampen potential blowback by removing a scene in an Art Spiegelman documentary in which the graphic novelist Spiegelman discusses an anti-Trump cartoon. PBS also pulled a gaming documentary with trans themes, only to relist it after The Atlantic asked about its deletion.
Sounds like it’s not just the local station engaging in shenanigans.
God dammit, PBS, right before pride month? They already took your fucking money. Why should my trans ass be donating to make up for it?
Wasn’t PBS, it was WNET. An affiliate.
An affiliate who has done shitty things before, like bend the knee to the Koch brothers.
