What you are describing is not what I posted. Elliot Page isn't "taking a woman's job". He's maintaining the job he already had. It seems to me that, unless your post is supposed to be sarcastic, you are advocating for Elliot to be kicked off of the role of Vanya because he's transgender, which is about as clear of a violation of federal laws against sex and disability discrimination as you can get.
To play devil's advocate there has been a lot of actors and actresses who have been forced to withdraw from roles playing trans characters because it was considered inappropriate and harmful to the LGBTQ+ community for cis people to play trans characters. So the concept of leaving a role because your personal gender identity doesn't lineup with the identity of the character you're playing is something already established in Hollywood.
Ahh, well on paper socialism sounds ok, but trying to make it work in todays world would be extremely difficult. Libertarianism is even more foolish since you would pretty much need to start over from human knowledge scratch for that to have any hope of working and it would probably still develop to what we have now. Capitalism isn't a bad system, but we treat it stupidly and seem to expect it to work best without any hands on it. Well regulated capitalism works very well, unregulated capitalism is garbage. This also isn't to say that everything should be left to capitalism, there are certainly market failures which a free market can't really deal with, that's where government intervention and social programs come in.
yeh however the system really wasn't meant to be dealing with what should be petty issues that are being deemed human rights issues. E.G. Yaniv arguing that having genital waxing services was a human right.
She roundly failed but the people she sued faced ~12 months of having to deal with the bullshit, being unable to provide waxing services and for their trouble get a whole $2,000 compensation (which hadn't been paid as of February) Oh and that's the 3 who fought through to the end not the 6 or so who just gave up and offered settlements or entirely left the field.
She's also a great example because early on many on the left were defending her and claiming everything bad said about her was transphobic attacks from criticism of the under 16's nude swimming session Yaniv tried to organise to all the leaked weirdness about tampons.
Yes cause clearly white people use being white as a way to abuse the legal system to bully people and get their own way /s
That is a fair argument, to say the least. I feel like there is a difference, however, between not hiring Elliot Page for future roles based on his gender identity, and deciding his gender identity means he doesn't qualify for the role he's already been playing for two seasons. If they decide, in the future, that Elliot shouldn't get further female roles, I may not agree with it, but that's their decision. I feel it would be much worse to say, however, "Oh, you're a male now? Well, you've been doing fine in this role for two years, but because of that, we need to get someone else."
Then you define that genital waxing is not a human right or just don't include it with the list.
No, shes really a bad example since you are allowing one abusive person to influence you to the point of wanting to throw everything out. Her abuses do show the need for resolving some of the loopholes she was allowed to exploit but nothing that is inherently wrong with the law.
OK, so your problem is with the legal system taking too long to come to a conclusion, and that being involved as a defendant is too damaging, even if you win?
I mean yeah that's true. A current role shouldn't be effected in anyway, especially if Page's gender wasn't considered when casting the role. But going forward roles he might have been considered a natural for may be closed off because studios want to give female roles to female actors.
Except in Yanivs case where it's been implied Yaniv rang round places trying to get a wax and if a place said they could accommodate because they they had people who did work on male genitalia she put the said she'd get back to them and never did then called other places instead.
But that had to be decided in court because there was no decision on it.
No just wanting to make sure it's air tight. A lot of evidence points to Yaniv lawsuits (in the waxing case) being motivated by her being a huge racist and a pervert and trying to use that to attack people of a certain ethnicity with certain religious beliefs. It's people looking to punish those they disagree with rather than seeking actual access to things these days. It's people in some cases wanting to turn the tables after believing they've been hard done by.
This has nothing to do with the trans law, this has to do with issues with the court system in Canada.
No, you don't want things air tight. Because that would lock out too many people who were in the muddle middle ground just to make sure abusers could not abuse things. I don't really get your point here since we have already established that Yaniv is abusing things, so what is your point?
I would guess that the character will be rewritten to be transgender. Vanya was never the most engaging character to begin with though, so I don't think the show will lose anything by making that change.
As Silvanus pointed out, you're only pointing at abuses and exploitation of the system, things that have been around since there was a system to abuse and exploit; those cases are not indicative of the motives of the larger LGBTQ community. Fine, some assholes call around until they find someone they can throw the law at; shame on them as it's a proper waste of theirs and the system's time and effort. But what if someone in a similar situation, who truly just wanted those services and was similarly and unfairly denied, had made that call? They'd be well within their right to use the law and it'd have been a proper use of it, am I right?
Wow, I'm sure no other legal troll has shopped around for targets before. Truly, your points have swayed me.
