benthic-beauty: commiekinkshamer: frontier-heart: Shadi Petosky:Please share. Please write. Please act. Because this is it. “The Danish Girl” trailer came out. Everything wrong with cis Hollywood’s portrayal of trans women, trans history, and trans culture in one trailer.This is based on the true story of a trans woman pioneer (reported intersex) Lile Elbe. It used to have Nicole Kidman attached to play Lili, which would have been better, but it was recast after Jared Leto’s Oscar win.So now we get the standard cis obsessions. - Trans women are men-Who as adults are turned on by “women’s” clothes - Then go through all kinds of “look at how hard they have to try” process.-To play dress up and pretend to be the shy fragile misogynistic version of a woman-For sexual thrill or -To trick other men.The script has Lili being coaxed by her wife into dresses. Forced feminization fantasy. Because yeah, wives are the ones getting their men to dress like women. It’s not the trans woman’s own agency that she comes to her truth. This is not the lifelong lived experience of a trans woman and her subconscious sex. This is what cis people think it’s like.This movie WILL cause continuing harm to the community.This movies is the pinnacle of TRANSPLOITATION. This era in media where already powerful people use a civil rights movement’s “ripped from the headlines” stories to make money without having the culture involved.This is misgendered casting, casting men as trans women or women as trans men. The message being that your oppressive gender is the truth, that transition is superficial. Rubber prosthetics, fake hair. This is extremely offensive. Please do not support this film in any way.Please let this be the last film of its kind. Nothing about us without us.Examine why transgender people are so underrepresented in their own cultural stories. #boycottthedanishgirl Transmisogyny, the Danish girl UGH UGH UGH UGH UGH WHY -- source link
