Elliot Page wants to eliminate gendered award categories, calls it 'binary thinking'



Elliot Page said that it would be a good move for award ceremonies in the film industry to remove gender categories for their nominations and instead combine the male and female categories into one.

Page agreed during an interview with Entertainment Weekly that major awards ceremonies such as the Oscars should eliminate categories divided by sex.

"Yeah, it seems like a good idea," the 36-year-old told the outlet. "And, again, this sort of unusual aspect of that being the only category, right, where that sort of happens? So, hopefully, we start moving beyond that degree of binary thinking."

Only smaller award shows such as the Gotham Awards and the Independent Spirit Awards have eliminated gendered categories. The Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the Critics Choice Awards, and the Oscars have not.

The obvious criticism that such a policy would result in fewer awards for artists in general, including women, did not appear to factor into Page's opinion.

Elliot Page, the actress formerly known as Ellen Page, came out as a lesbian in 2014 before she revealed in 2020 that she believes she is a man. This was followed by numerous occasions of posting shirtless photos online after undergoing double mastectomy surgery.

Page was promoting her first new movie since the 2020 declaration of transgenderism, which she co-wrote, and predictably included a shirtless scene in the first moments of the movie.

In "Close to You," Page plays a transgender man whose story has parallels to the actor's own life, according to Reuters.

"So much of this is about connection and what it means to be human and what it means to be seen," Page said from the red carpet. "I imagine those themes on some level resonate with most people."

The film's opening moments were described by Entertainment Weekly as a "powerful scene that sees Page standing shirtless in front of the camera," which Page said impacted her greatly.

"Shooting on the day, I was getting out of bed and getting dressed, it was sort of clumsy, like, 'Oh, it would be great, he sleeps shirtless.' In the moment when you're making this, you're making it from this instinctual place that I don't know how to describe. It just sort of happens, but at the same time, it just felt natural," Page said.

"Showing this dude who's comfortable and present and waking up in his body, that means a lot to me. I never thought I'd feel that way, so it's nice to get to act it," she added.

'Non-binary' TikToker cries over being featured in Trump campaign ad for 1 second: 'I felt shame' ​



James Rose, a male social media influencer who believes he is non-binary and transgender, posted a video of himself crying to his platforms after he was featured in a Donald Trump campaign video for approximately one second.

As reported by TimCast, Rose was pictured in a Trump campaign ad next to controversial influencer Dylan Mulvaney and reacted to the video by posting a tear-filled introspective over the second-long feature.

“I saw it, and I kind of fell apart," Rose said in the video. “I didn’t want to tell you that because I didn’t want to look weak — and it’s like, oh my God, that’s so stupid, I cry on the internet all the time. Like, why is today any different?" he continued.

Rose has approximately 500,000 followers on his TikTok account, which specifies his pronouns are "she/they" and categorizes him as an "actress."

“I didn’t want to share this either, but I felt shame," he went on. “I felt shame about being public about my transition, being bubbly and fun and loving life, and I thought, ‘Oh, maybe if I were just different, then maybe I wouldn’t have, like, failed my community in this way,'" he said through tears.

"They want to eradicate us," Rose claimed. "If they make examples of people like me and my gorgeous friend Dylan then they are one step closer to that eradication."


@jamesissmiling Trump used me & Dylan in his latest presidential campaign ad. Let this be fodder to fight hardee for trans people everywhere. #transisbeautiful #nonbinarypride #stoptransgenocide ♬ original sound - jamesissmiling


Rose then quickly shut off the tears to defend his "community" and said that “this presidential campaign — I’m just predicting it’s going to be horrible."

“Not only for James personally ... but for trans people in general. We are going to have to hold each other in [the] community tighter than ever," he explained. He then stated that transgender people are "beautiful," "wonderful," and "part of the fabric of society."

The Trump ad was titled "Invasion of America" and listed a series of what the campaign views as President Biden's failures. Inflation, war, and transgender ideology were all contested during the ad.

“The global elitists who send your kids to war, who tell you a woman is a man and that a man is a woman, who teach your children their country, their faith, their beliefs, are a lie — they have corrupted every facet of American government, weaponized it against you," the ad's narrator said.

At around the 30-second mark of the video, Rose is shown alongside Mulvaney for approximately one second before the video transitions to a statue being removed and Pride celebrations inside a public school.



Rose thanked Trump in a subsequent video for getting his "d**k wet" as he claimed gay men were reaching out to him after seeing the campaign ad.

'Non-binary' Anglican priest, 'making a huge difference in normalising it for children,' accused of 'grooming'



The Church of England's first so-called non-binary priest has gone beyond accepting his newly manufactured identity by "going into schools, doing assemblies and making a huge difference in normalising it for children."

A black conservative who was reportedly barred from the priesthood has suggested that this LGBT evangelization is tantamount to "grooming."

What are the details?

Bingo Allison is a 36-year-old father of three and a priest ordained in the Church of England.

Allison told the Liverpool Echo that God guided him away from the two sexes delineated in the Book of Genesis, resulting in a schism between the "strongly religious" and conservative tradition he was raised in — which, he suggested, "Some might call ... bigoted" — and a new "gender-queer" lifestyle.

Allison suggested that after encountering the term "gender-queer" seven years ago while completing his vicar training, "Everything suddenly clicked."

"I didn't know any trans people, and I think I probably met two gay people in my life," said Allison. "So it was like another planet almost to me. There were a few times when I really questioned things. But because I didn't really have the vocabulary to describe my experience, it just kind of didn't go anywhere."

With a newfound handle on the latest LGBT activist terminology, Allison claims to have revisited Genesis 1:27, in which the King James Bible and the English Standard Version both state, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

Allison said the language of "male and female" contra "men and women" struck a chord.

"It was a deepening spiritual experience, I properly felt God was guiding me into this new truth about myself," he said.

Since mentally severing gender from sex, Allison has become an activist in his own right.

The Telegraph reported that Allison uses social media to spread the word of the LGBT movement.

In February 2020, Allison posted an image to Instagram in which he was wearing a purple hairband, eyeshadow, and make-up. The caption read, "Going to church because Jesus loves sparkly eyeshadow. #girlslikeus #transisbeautiful #nonbinary #eyeshadow."

The Anglican priest's LGBT evangelization is not limited to online engagements.

"When I'm wearing my collar it lets children know that is okay and that there is a place in church and the outside world for people like me," he said.

Allison claims he has been involved with local secular LGBT youth groups, in which he seeks to "normalise" his identity.

Calvin Robinson, an Anglican trainee vicar who was reportedly barred from becoming a Church of England priest on account of his traditional views, has publicly taken issue with Allison's LGBT ministry.

In response to the Liverpool Echo article about Allison, Robinson tweeted, "'Gender-queer' seems counter-Scriptural. 'the first openly non-binary priest to be ordained in the CofE' seems like vainglory. 'The 36-year-old attends schools and assemblies ... in the hope they can inspire others who find themselves in a similar situation' seems like grooming."

Robinson's intimation that the promotion of highly-sexual concepts to school children might amount to grooming is not his only reservation about Allison's approach.

Robinson, a black conservative who has expressed antipathy for identitarian leftist groups like BLM and suggested that women should not be ordained, appears to have voiced traditional and conservative Anglicans' reservation about the ostensible co-option of the faith by LGBT activists.

According to the Telegraph, Robinson trained to be a priest for years at the University of Oxford. He was set to begin a curacy at a parish in Holborn, London. However, Bishop Jonathan Baker of Fulham turned him down for the role in February 2022.

Beside Robinson's fidelity to tradition, an email exchange between Church of England bosses indicated that his claims that Britain was not a racist country disqualified him.

Sarah Mullally, the white, female bishop of London, reportedly told Robinson, a black man, to "listen to the lived experiences of ethnic minorities."

Bishop Baker cautioned in another message: "He is very active on Twitter and has a huge following (100,000 followers!). His political agenda is I guess what you would call libertarian anti-woke, anti-identity politics, Covid-skeptical etc."

Were racial politics not a pressing matter in the church, Robinson's rejection of LGBT activist conventions and beliefs would likely have been.

Extra to internalizing critical race theory precepts, senior members of the Anglican church have similarly embraced LGBT activism, terminology, and agendas.

Steven Croft, the bishop of Oxford and senior Anglican cleric, backed same-sex "marriage" and instructed clergy that they were not only to conduct gay "marriages" for their congregation, but were also themselves able to wed a same-sex partner.

This decision runs contrary to Anglican canon law, which prohibits the blessing or marrying of gay couples.

The Church of England has also issued pastoral guidance, adopted at General Synod in 2018, delineating how to approach and accommodate transsexuals.

For Anglicans already baptized who have become transsexuals, "the House of Bishops commends the rite of Affirmation of Baptismal Faith as the central feature of any service to recognize liturgically a person's gender transition."

The guide further recommends identifying "the preference of a transgender person in respect of their name and gendered (or other) pronouns."

Extra to baptism, at least one Anglican church has transmogrified its hymns to keep up with LGBT activists' preferences.

TheBlaze reported that All Saints with Holy Trinity in Loughborough updated the words to "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen." Instead of referencing Satan as well as Christ the Savior, the church substituted in "queer and questioning" "women, who by men have been erased."

It's not only transsexual parishioners for whom the Church of England has made accommodations.

In Wales resides the church's first transsexual priest, Reverend Canon "Sarah" Jones, who suggested to ITV that God is "non-binary."

Jones said, "Look, there are different sorts of churches with different sorts of views on all sorts of things. But there are a lot more inclusive churches than you might think."

For Robinson, inclusivity in the Church of England meant his exclusion. He recently left the church to join the breakaway group Global Anglican Future Conference.

In an attempt at inclusivity, Tampax tweets that men get periods, too — and it backfires spectacularly



Tampon manufacturer Tampax has insisted that men can get periods, too, sparking a firestorm on social media for being anti-woman and more.

What are the details?

As reported by the New York Post, tampon brand Tampax — which is owned by Proctor & Gamble — tweeted in September, "Not all people with periods are women."

Though the company tweeted the message last month, it's now gaining traction across the internet, sparking heavy criticism from those who believe in science.

Tampax tagged the tweet #mythbusting, #periodtruths, and #transisbeautiful.

The tweet reads, "Fact: Not all women have periods. Also a fact: Not all people with periods are women. Let's celebrate the diversity of all people who bleed!"

At the time of this reporting, the tweet received more than 27,000 comments.

Fact: Not all women have periods. Also a fact: Not all people with periods are women. Let's celebrate the diversity… https://t.co/XkLQdrjGwY

What was the response?

Despite hordes of social media users rallying around the company with praise for such an inclusive campaign, many people railed against the notion and argued that the company is alienating women and ignoring science.

Conservative author and commentator Ben Shapiro wrote, "Fact: all people with periods are women."

Former Major League Baseball player Curt Schilling added, "Every single person that has have had a cycle is scientifically and genetically a woman. That's not offensive, it's not meant to be offensive, it's just a scientific fact. Facts can't be offensive but YOU can be offended by them when they don't follow your narrative."

Another social media user added, "Sigh...so tired of companies disrespecting their main target audience & gaslighting the public for virtue signaling points."

"I honestly don't understand how some companies sound identical to parody or satire," another user wrote.

One woman who identified herself as a mother chimed in, "Oh dear @Tampax your products are more expensive but I have been buying them for decades. Not any more. Anyone who calls me and my daughter "people who bleed" isn't getting a penny more of my money."

One user seemed to encourage a boycott of the company, and wrote, "Tampax is owned by P&G. You can also boycott their other products: Always®, Ambi Pur®, Ariel®, Bounty®, Charmin®, Crest®, Dawn®, Downy®, Fairy®, Febreze®, Gain®, Gillette®, Head & Shoulders®, Lenor®, Olay®, Oral-B®, Pampers®, Pantene®, SK-II®, Tide®, Vicks®, and Whisper®."

"Dear Tampax, are there instructions on the box for men who want to insert a tampon up their penises? As an attorney who has successfully litigated product liability cases, I would be very interested in your answer, in writing of course," added another user who identified himself as an attorney.
