A quick vocabulary lesson: “Nonbinary,” according to GLAAD, is a term “used by some people who experience their gender identity and/or gender expression as falling outside the categories of man and woman. They may define their gender as falling somewhere in between man and woman, or they may define it as wholly different from these terms.” There are a whole host of other words created to help categorize different lived experiences: genderqueer, agender, gender fluid.
But plain old “nonbinary” has emerged as a frontrunner term. And basically, a bunch of us don’t feel comfortable being defined as strictly male or female. What words and pronouns we identify with can and do change. Comedian and actor Cole Escola recently came out as nonbinary. They describe identifying with the word as “more of a clarification for how I’ve always felt and operated. I just looked up and saw that there was this other pronoun that better suited how I’ve always felt.
I’ll be the first to admit it sometimes feels clunky to be throwing around all these different terms. Using the term ‘they/them’ is confusing for my mom, who can’t get over the implied plurality of it. I understand the linguistics behind that confusion, though it still hurts to be misgendered.
Males would dominate the acting category, so feminists would get pissed.
Award shows suck now anyway. Just get rid of them.
Agreed! It would make more sense to have the awards divided by age. Let’s give young talents a chance to compete! :-) ChildActor
