Says being trans is a political ideology.

Odd comment...

“To be trans is not just a thing I was born with, but a political ideology and a decision to exist in a certain way that’s non-normative and challenging the hegemonic structures of power,” Schoenbrun continues. “I want to stay a person who I like. Too much power and too much collaboration with a system of power, I start to get hives.”

"non-normative" ugh... what a useless term... I guess that means all of us, random internet chatters on this forum, we're just "normal"?

What a joke... Anybody who's been on the internet at all in the last 20 years, knows there is more than enough freaks and weirdos in the STRAIGHT community alone. So .. we're "normal"?

Honestly, what is "normal" anway? Go to 1 counselling or therapy session and the first thing they'll tell you is: there is no "normal". "Normal" is a concept which differs completely person to person.

By acting like they are the only ones not normal or "non-normative" all they are going to do, is make themself feel more isolated, and make us all thing we're more different than we are. Divide us even more (as if we need that), and in the process give themselves a lot more psychological issues.

They've got their head up their ass.

Talking about how they don't want to be too powerful or part of the 'system'. How promoting their movie makes them feel disgusting because of capitalism.* Full blown left wing extremist.

I’m so viscerally disgusted by 95% of the things that I have to do to promote this movie. To operate in these hallowed halls of capitalism and not feel absolutely insane, it requires some kind of taking the red pill. Or privilege-tinted sunglasses.

Holy shit, That is the dictionary definition of entitlement.

The arrogance to declare you don't want to promote the movie, while being interviewed by someone, whose only job is to interview directors and actors on their movies?

She shouldn't have been granted an interview then. That is so unappreciative on just a basic level, it's unbelievable.
