Hollywood actress takes stand against genderless awards — and inadvertently exposes inherent problem with gender ideology
Hollywood actress Jameela Jamil is taking a stand against gender-neutral award categories.
With the rise of gender ideology and an increasing number of people identifying as transgender or non-binary, the Academy Awards are facing pressure to eliminate gender-specific Oscar award categories. The Grammys and MTV Movie & TV Awards, for instance, have already dropped gender-specific awards.
But Jamil, best known for her role in "The Good Place," predicted that genderless award categories at the Oscars will "completely shut out women."
"Would it not be better to give non-binary people their own category rather than open the door for Hollywood to completely shut out women given the known disproportionate amount of men vs women winning at award shows?" the actress wrote on Instagram over the weekend.
The irony of Jamil's stance is that she supports gender ideology. In that same post, she wrote that it is "GREAT" that Hollywood now has enough "non-binary talent" to necessitate restructuring award shows. She just fears that eliminating gender categories will decrease the number of women who are recognized for their work on the big screen.
Thus, while supporting trans gender ideology, Jamil exposes the inherent problem with pretending that biological sex is fluid.
To justify her fears, Jamil cited what happens in sports when biological men who identify as women complete against biological women. In almost every case, the man wins, stealing accomplishment from the hands of women.
"If we do Athlete of the year, without gender, it is highly unlikely that aside from the odd year of affirmative action, for optics, that anyone other than a cis man is going to win, because they dominate that world," Jamil said. "They generate the most income for the industry, get the most attention and are the biggest stars/names."
In response, critics accused Jamil of being a "TERF," or "trans-exclusionary radical feminist." That type of backlash, Jamil explained, is why people are reluctant to support liberal causes and believe liberalism is a "cult."
"I am receiving literally thousands of messages from people saying that THIS IS WHY they don't engage in liberal social justice anymore. Because we cannot even ask questions in good faith," she said.
