Trans and binary actors are challenging the system of gendered recognition
As your tiresome, conservative uncle will fulminate at the drop of a hat at your next family gathering, “This gender neutral what what thing is out of control.” Of course what conservatives don’t want to acknowledge is that the reason the subject of gender-neutral, trans and nonbinary people has become such a hot-button topic from Florida to Glasgow is the long and righteous battle fought by members of these communities to gain legal and public recognition for their right to self-identify.
These include the Film Independent Spirit Awards, which adopted gender-neutral categories in 2022 and had eight female nominees and two male nominees compete for the best performer award and three women and seven men battle it out in the best supporting performer category.
Even though more than 1.2-million adults identify as nonbinary in the US and the roster of performers who identify as such has definitely increased in movies and TV over the past five years, it does not seem that a separate “best nonbinary or transgender performance” category would yield enough nominees to be considered. Neither would such a separation really be very progressive in terms of the fight for recognition.
