That’s called becoming more educated and learning the difference between what is a joke and what is not. That’s how we as mankind have evolved from the basic stone age to the present.

Good for us. But perhaps too evolved. On on hand hand I am happy we don’t joke about sexual harassment and rapes but on the other hand we are trying to correct everything that has no problem to begin with. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and joke is just a joke. I understand why people here thinks ranveer is funny, it’s not because his masculine or feminine cloths, it’s because his tacky taste. If I wear a garbage bag and expect people not to laugh at me..because my body my clothes than it would be nothing but foolishness.

Garbage mentality - Doing things like trolling people on their clothes choices. This is one's body , one has monopoly on it and has every right to wear whatever they want without being judged for it . Those who think it's cool to troll other people on their own personal choices like effing clothing choice needs to get a life and a job ( if they can manage to get themselves one.)

In many cultures there are dresses , ornaments that were / are worn by alpha males even , that may look like strange by their gender in other geophysical distributions/ cultures. Doesn't mean it gets invalidated.

RS can wear a tutu with a tea cozy for a hat , still no one has any right to troll or pass judgment on that. People need to learn to leave other people alone.

After every single fashion event, such as Red Carpet appearances, Cannes etc. we have articles titled "Fashion Choices:Yay or nay?", or " Celeb Styling: Hits and Misses". In those articles, the clothing of every celebrity is dissected inch by inch and lauded or criticized. Sometimes the criticism is harsh.

On this forum itself, we freely give opinions on whether a particular celeb's dress was great or tacky/ewww. How come the Preachy Pansies on this thread don't have a problem with that?

IMHO, it's the jobless moral police who need to find themselves a job (if they can get anybody to take them and their super-sensitive asses seriously).

If a celebrity dresses like a clown/weirdo then they'll be laughed at. End of story. Being hyper-sensitive to normal human reactions will get you (the general 'you') nowhere. You'll only become the butt of jokes among people.

Firstly, I haven't seen either of those movies, in fact, I've never seen any of Elliot's movies.

In my childhood, there were one or two guys in my class who were very feminine, behaved and talked like girls and had very feminine mannerisms. One even reportedly liked to put on make up. The class teased them and called them "ladyboys". It was cruel and shameful, but there was no awareness about it back then.

Today I know that they were trans. Back then I/we did not know that word, but we did know that they were like girls trapped in boy's bodies. We could see that they talked and behaved like girls.

THIS is what I meant when I said that transwomen are easily identifiable from their mannerisms (when they've not transitioned).

Your Elliot Page example is not valid here since I haven't seen his movies, nor do I know him in person to identify how his mannerisms were prior to coming out.

I think this is some dangerous and unfair stereotyping. It happens a lot, often unintentionally.

The fact is that there is no one way to be a man (or a woman). It changes individually and culturally. Just because a man has interests and behaviors that we deem "feminine" does not mean that they are gay or transgender women. They might just be cisgender heterosexual men, with different interests.

In the realm of Kpop and Jpop, men adapt what is considered female mannerisms in the west. They wear make-up and engage in high fashion. They have androgynous hair and appearances. Most of them are actually cisgender heterosexuals.

Men, unfortunately, have a lot of pressure to perform masculinity. Women are allowed to have an interest in sports or other things deemed male activities. They can cut their hair short, wear pants, and people accept it. She's a tomboy, a cool girl, or not like other girls. Very rarely is she told that she is not being feminine enough. People rarely assume a woman is gay or transgender. It is the other extreme where two women are often assumed to be just friends until they explicitly have to declare they are in a relationship.

I won't deny that stereotypes exist. There are definitely certain behaviors that might indicate a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. But there are always exceptions and it is best not to assume because it can be hurtful.

I'll reiterate there is no one way to be a man (or a woman.) Some men feel a need to perform so-called masculine behaviors like hitting the gym and dressing a certain way. Some men are comfortable doing activities or wearing clothes that other men deem feminine. Just because some men find these things uncomfortable, unattractive, or disconcerting doesn't mean they can force their view of masculinity on everyone. And maybe a person is indeed, gay, bi, or transgender - but that is not for us to judge or assume based on their behavior. Its for them to decide and tell us.

Its best to treat every individual as a human and never tease, disparage, or degrade them if they engage in any behavior that is out of the norm.

Some people can't let go things can they😂😂

The Take posted this today. Thought it was relevant here.

I love the way he experiments with his clothes. Some of them are awful but it shows he's comfortable enough in his masculinity . For me, he makes up for his annoying personality by daring to do things other male actors wouldn't do.

This topic has nothing to do with Deepika’s op. You got me 😆
