'Would it not be better to give non-binary people their own category rather than open the door for Hollywood to completely shut out women?' (via toofab)
She argues that there would be an inevitable backlash from women should gendered categories become a reality because we will"have created only one spot for a winner amongst 10s of thousands of actors, in a world that favors men."
"I don't think it will help women or NB to minimize the amount of possible winners," she argued."We should look to EXPAND the possibilities so that both GNC people and women have a fair shot in an industry that for a long time struggled to treat others equal to men." In her caption, Jamil compared the idea of genderless categories for acting to the idea of doing this in sports. She wrote that if they were to try this,"it is highly unlikely that aside from the odd year of affirmative action, for optics, that anyone other than a cis man is going to win, because they dominate that world."
Instead, she believes the solution -- at least for now -- lies in"more visibility, more categories, more winners to represent more people. ❤️"
