One point I agree with OH and others about is that the rich and powerful tend to use their identities as tools to insulate themselves from criticism, which is what the sisters did with the Matrix sequels and also Speed Racer and Sense8. The more money you have, the less that identity choice actually matters because it really isn't about their identity and more about exploiting whatever the target demographic is.
A different example - in regards to Robert Johnson (founder of BET), who is a black billionaire and comes from low-income household beginnings, a guy who says that "Democrats have moved too far left", is it fair to criticize him when he tells young black men and women that they can all be just like him (bootstrapping) with a little hard work? He's a rich and powerful person using his identity as a weapon to insulate himself from criticism in his particular field. All I'm saying is that celebrities are fair game if punching up is what it's all about. Even if the color of that celebrity's skin is orange. ![]()

It's a new level of mental gymnastics each week with this guy, it's impressive tbh.

My observations will age better than the ghost twins in Reloaded.

Youre very good at selective reading.
The way I see it, this goes down 1 of 2 ways when we know more about it: 1) There is nothing wrong with you and you just feel a certain way about yourself, no different from being happy or sad from day to day 2) It's a mental disorder Either way youre just another person with your own unique expression that deserves as much respect as any other person. If genders are infinite than they are meaningless.
