“It also infuriated me.”
Good Cthulhu, it’s OZ! Then entire culture of Oz is so alien to Midwest America, it WOULD be in-character for them to have skirts, but also to cover themselves with duct tape or insulation. It’s another WORLD. But you’re probably also upset that Star Trek put men in skirts in the distant future.
“How dare authorities let this happen.”
An opera singer swore he wouldn’t return to San Francisco after an Earthquake there. He was upset that the authorities would allow that to happen.
“Really. I know somewhere in there I sound like a bigot,”
It’s amazing. The book, movie, play is about fighting prejudice and you just leap out there complaining that your prejudice is offended.
Um, good?
but to me this akin to the creep of S&M into children's fashion. For any vulnerable child this would be disastrous.
“And it WILL build the ranks of the TRA armies- from those ignorantly/lazily pseudo compassionate supporters to the radical supporters.”
Um… How many people do you think will be radicalized from laissez-faire supporters because boys in a school wear kilts? And they are kilts, according to the designer of the stage uniforms.
“Unfortunately, the highly intelligent and talented are targets from being ostracised at a young age at school, and the neurodiverse, of which I am part of the ranks.”
What the fuck are you even trying to say, here? I don’t get this sentence.
Do you mean targets FOR being ostracized at a young age?
Or that they’re scarred from being ostracized at a young age?
Or something else?
"These are children who think in black and white, believe what they are told or read online, are bullied mercilessly at school for their differences, have inabilities to self advocate or adequately defend against bullies, excel in music and drama and find refuge with other like- minds in music and drama.”
And they’re one school setting away from, what, not hating transgendered people?
“I feel so so so so much for them and their families.”
But not for the transgendered.
Fuck you.
“Why the heck couldn't the movie'Wicked' highlight a whacking bunch of obviously autistic kids who end up heroes because of their strengths and special interests?”
Awwwwwww, so sorry that the author and playright and set designer and costumer didn’t seek your fucking approval before creating art that THEY wanted to make.
“THAT would be more compassionate and helpful than applauding a surface/ cosmetic difference that will inevitably harm kids.”
And there YOU go, insisting that transgendered isn’t a real thing, promoting more bullying of transgendered people.
