Charlize Theron: Gender-neutral awards categories should be introduced 'soon'

 

Theron's child is being raised as a girl after she first introduced her to the world as a boy

 

Actress Charlize Theron has said she hopes it won't be long before awards shows have gender-neutral categories.

 

The Oscar-winner was speaking ahead of Sunday's Hollywood Film Awards, and said "let's hope soon" when asked when such awards should be introduced.

 

The idea has already been implemented by MTV, which scrapped the best actor and actress categories at its Movie & TV awards, opting for an overall best actor prize in 2017.

 

Earlier this year, British singer Sam Smith told fans they now identify as non-binary and uses the pronoun they/them, leading more people to call for changes to traditional awards categories.

[thaibeachlovers]

Should have happened when they started calling actresses actors.

There are two genders: Men and women. This statement of science has now become a crime.

A recent cartoon I saw stated it very clearly, there are two genders and forty plus mental disorders

Gender neutrality? Sooo yesterday already.

 

I am going all out and declaring my species neutrality. I now wish to be addressed as it/that.

Probably about the same time as she no longer gets called an actress in the media ... or the same time as when her child, sorry, the child of non gender specific they/them Charlize Theron, starts getting treatment from their shrink for being totally confused about their enforced sexual identity.

what a nutter ......

Species neutrality, what a great idea.

Can I be called Rover?

No. British car names are not allowed or before you know it, we'll have a whole lot of Austin Allegros, Vauxhall Vivas and Humber Super Snipes on here bickering about mpg, cheap tires and the local driver's total lack of spatial awareness.

You'll probably find the Thai inlaws have been doing that for years already ????

How did Mr. Minor manage to get away with his 'brand neutrality' then?

 

 

Good find there sir!

I could not be an Allegro though because if I were then I would insist on being called a Mark 3 version and the word 'Mark' is not fluid enough to suit everyone's needs.

In other words, it sounds too butch.

 

That and your cv joints would be rubbish.

Good point indeed. Maybe the Thai's are on the cutting edge here with this species-neutral 'farang' and they're not being rude or derogatory at all.

 

That will upset a fair few on here though. Almost heresy, no?

I finally found out how to upload photos . A very appropriate comment, a “man” giving birth even though legally male is ridiculous, maybe we need to apply common sense a little more.

I'm with it IT, every inch of THAT.

being gender neutral does that mean we can tell them to go fornicate themselves and they will, she sure needs to
