Part if being a good actor would be asking, am I right for this role?
He knows what he's doing. You can feel the contempt

It's impossible for him to receive "racist abuse" given that him taking the role IS the "racist abuse".
All he can ever receive is the just descriptions of what will always be, a terrible depiction.
HBO's #HarryPotter showrunner Francesca Gardiner says "it's appalling" that Paapa Essiedu is being "subjected" to racist "abuse" online after being cast as Snape.
“He has handled it with incredible grace, and I have nothing but the greatest respect for him…. Paapa has absolutely nailed the role, and it is that performance that deserves our attention.”
Essiedu says: “There’s some people who are just like, ‘I’ve done my research, and I know what kind of actor you are, and you suck.’ And they’re totally entitled to their opinion. But then there are the people who are like, ‘You are bad because you are Black’—which, to me, is racist.. Well, actually not ‘You’re bad because you are Black.’ But there is a racially driven animosity.” (via Vanity Fair)

It is the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male & female.
Ida retweeted
And each one affects hundreds if not thousands of girls.
Laws that benefit every girl in the state while "hurting the feelings" of less than a handful of boys are a net good.

Where my brother used to work one male boss came out as ‘trans’ & started coming to work in a dress. Staff were told not to laugh at him, because they would get into trouble. My brother said he made him and other male colleagues feel very uncomfortable, men don’t like it either.

It’s absolutely shocking that this man is still allowed anywhere near students ! @hilda_beastoxf

It's a power play. Psychotic people see trooning out as an avenue to unlimited social power through emotional manipulation. The harder they complain, the more people give in.

There’s a HRT shortage in the UK 🇬🇧
Women are once again left hunting pharmacies for HRT while the same estradiol is handed out so men can grow tits and pretend they’re women. Real women’s hot flushes, bone density and sleep come second to male entitlement. Every. Single. Time.

Adult child: Could you pick the kids up from school once a week?
Grandparents: We don't want that kind of responsibility anymore.
Adult child: Maybe just occasionally when I'm stuck at work?
Grandparents: We've done our parenting. This is our time now.
Years later...
Grandparents: We can't drive anymore. Could you take us shopping, help with appointments, and check in on us every week?
Adult child: I don't want that kind of responsibility either. This is my time now.
The uncomfortable truth:
Family isn't a one-way street. If you spend years telling people you owe them nothing, don't be surprised when they eventually return the favor.
The relationships you invest in today are often the ones you depend on tomorrow.

I have no intention of hiding any longer!
'Dr P' is just how most people now know me.
(Thanks Fred/Lyndsay/Tristan, you guys did me a enormous favour by 'outing' me.
I cannot describe how liberating it has been).
And here is my 'manifesto':
Gender dysphoria is a false construct.
No human can change sex or has ever changed sex.
Transgenderism is a mental illness.
ALL 'gender affirming' procedures should be banned, for anyone, of any age.
'Transitioning' children is child abuse.
'Transitioning' within marriage should be immediate an unequivocal grounds for divorce.
People on cross-sex hormones should not be in the workplace.
People presenting as the opposite sex should not be in the workplace.
Commercial surrogacy should be banned.
Gender ideology is a Trojan Horse that will destroy Western society.
What did I miss?

Trans athletes have 'stolen' nearly 2,300 gold medals from women and girls in the US: report trib.al/JIZz4j7

I’ve seen the stupid Sydney Sweeney ad. I don’t like it, but largely because I don’t like graphically sexualized or nudity-displaying ads anyway. Never will, I don’t care whose “side” someone is supposed to be on.
But I don’t understand why female athletes are suddenly up in arms. This wasn’t an ad for women’s sports or even sports at all, it was an ad for a sports betting company primarily used by straight men.
So I get why women in general might be annoyed, but I’m not seeing where female athletes have some particular gripe or how this silly thing “sets women’s sports back decades.”

Guys, she took the oldest son to the basement to murder him. He escaped, ran, hid in his father’s office, before she hunted him down and strangled him to death with a giant rubber band. And then repeated that process for the other two. She knew what she was doing.
"We want to cry about science being defunded while shoving pseudoscience on children's bodies and in women's restrooms! I want everything, give me everything!"
This is trans.
