Istg, the stupid nonsensical phrase "biological sex" has allowed the most brain dead to sound authorative to even stupider people. Do they think that when you arrive at an ED they do a karotype test and wait for the results so they can provide "the right healthcare according to their biological sex"

This is a near perfect movie and if you haven't seen it and don't know what happens in it, don't read this and go watch it instead.

If I seem especially harsh on the topic of generative AI and especially AI art, it's only because I know my books were among those pirated by Meta and ors to train their AI. Kinda makes it personal.

Right? So whatever the problem is clearly isn't about being on the same ward as men, it's specifically the presence of a trans woman. And let's be real. Whoever they thought was trans was probably just a cis woman they decided was trans. It's all utterly deranged.

I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House

This is my least favourite kind of movie and consequently my least favourite type of blog to write. But I wrote it because I'm committed to a review every day, even if it makes me feel bad.

Nobody Sleeps In The Woods Tonight (2020)
I don’t like this movie. And I hate being this negative about a film, but there’s really just nothing in this movie that I feel like I can praise. It does nothing interesting and does plenty of things poorly. And worst of all, it’s boring.

We told everybody this would happen, this is the consequence of denying us healthcare and a place in society. And TERFs called us liars, accused us of blackmail and emotional manipulation, of threatening children, or simply said "Good." And here we are. We just want to live.

This is because, secretly, trans women hate money, that's why they transition, to get rid of all their money. So, if you GIVE them money, they'll all be SUPER mad, so you should do that

Scarecrow (2024)
I can’t imagine anybody coming out of this film having hated it. The production is too good to call it bad by any fair assessment. But it’s definitely a film that will have a strong appeal to some viewers while probably leaving others satisfied but a little cold.

I did use it in the past until I realised it and "preferred pronouns" and "gender identity" were terms only ever being used for trans people.

The most insidious word used in discourse about trans issues is "preferred." It seems innocuous until you consider cis libs use it as an eject button to get out of supporting trans rights. If pronouns/bathrooms/name/gender are "preferred" then it's a choice that is reversible, not WHO WE ARE.

Ms Rachel from the top ropes
From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign."

One of the reasons for this is that the rhetorical figure of the trans child is never transfeminine. The trans girl is not a figure in the conservative lexicon because the transfeminine is a grotesquerie positioned always as a sexual threat to "real girls", and thus always adultified.
It is the latest development in a story ignited by a comment made by Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham, who said she wanted to protect young girls "who shouldn't have to go against biological men" in sport.

Death Whisperer (2023)
‘Death Whisperer’ is a modern day Hammer Horror movie with ambitions of epicness. That ambition is impossible, of course. It’s contradictory. But the end result is something unique and worth every second I spent watching it.

Y'know what I've noticed? I've noticed that when cis women are talking to each other about the misogyny they face in day to day life, they never say "Welcome to being a woman" to each other. They only seem to say that when trans women are talking to them. That is so weird. Isn't that weird?

I want to give Trejo the benefit of the doubt as much as anybody, but at this point, like, if he really doesn't know then it sounds like he's actually dangerously naive and so disconnected from the modern world that it's probably time to retire and stop letting his managemt exploit a senior citizen

Maybe, but it's the second time he's done this deal with the Daily-Wire-Devil. It's unclear from reporting how much of the script anybody got to see before signing on, but if you see a script with this and you still say yes, then "I didn't know what kind of movie it is" is a weak ass excuse
Quote from an IndieWire article:

In an early sequence from the screenplay, Melanie, a protester described as “a fat blue-hair” in the document, panics when an ICE officer raises his gun and she accidentally strikes his partner while reversing her car. The armed immigration agent then shoots Melanie in response, and his partner subsequently dies. Later, a TV broadcast shows edited footage that omits the collision but calls the shooting “murder.”

I dunno anything about Gilbert Trejo but I'm going to assume that he's both genuinely upset about Mexicans "[abandoning] one of their heroes" and that he has that same energy for all the Mexicans, Mexican-Americans, and other victims of ICE who have died in their racist purge of the country.

I have many thoughts about this statement. But honestly, none of them matter. Mostly I'm just sad because I've always liked Trejo's work. But for however disappointed I am and however disappointed the Mexican community is for the loss of a hero or his reputation... Renee Good lost her life.

Sapphire Purcell @sapphyskys.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
Am I willing to believe this? Yes. It's plausible (maybe not likely) that Trejo does not know who Shapiro is or what The Daily Wire is. Do I think it's plausible his management/agent had no idea? No. Do I think "He's not a fascist sympathiser, he's just a useful fool" is a good defence? Also no.
Screen shot from an Instagram(?) post by Gilbert Trejo, Danny Trejo's son:

For anyone seeing this shit with my dad... He was booked on a film, its not a pro-ICE, it's not overtly pro anything. His agent described it as "a complicated story about a complicated time, where everyone looks bad except you, the hardworking Mexican shop owner who just wants peace"

He jumped at the idea of playing a good guy.

About 2 weeks into shooting everyone, including us, found out Ben Shapiro was involved.

My 82 year old dad has never heard of Ben Shapiro, I had to explain to him who that is, and what kind of guy he is.

My dad contractually can't bad mouth him, the film, or walk away without being sued for breach of contract. He couldn't even release the statement he wanted to.

It's fucked up. He's handcuffed to this stupid project and swaths of people have instantly turned their back on him without knowing any of the facts.

Ben Shapiro got Mexicans to abandon one of their heroes, got his own name to the top of Google's searches, and made us look like angry fools lacking any nuance. He wins.
