Whoever they are, we have to believe that they were bullied in High School. That's it. That's the one condition for being believable in an X-Men movie IMO. You can be hot now, but we still have to believe you were a weird kid who got bullied for it.
Casting for ‘X-MEN’ will begin soon.

if you're planning to watch this season of #Andor, important reminder that Disney+ is on the BDS priority target list and you SHOULD NOT purchase a Disney+ subscription in order to watch!
BDS is a Palestinian-led movement and TARGETED boycott—the meaningfully effective kind. don't buy Disney+!

No transphobic court ruling, no bigot in charge of NHS, no billionaire media can indefinitely hold back the fierce tides of love and joy and courage that is queer community and solidarity. These are the desperate gasps of a dying era, one we will survive.

The boundaries of womanhood have always been policed & politicised by the powerful & narrow minded: we have, & we will continue to, dismantle their world. We will make it new.
Beyond headlines & hate are people, trans & nonbinary people, whose very existence expands, reimagines & enriches our world

We'd urge people not to panic - there will be lots of commentary coming out quickly that is likely to deliberately overstate the impact that this decision is going to have on all trans people's lives. We'll say more as soon as we're able to. Please look out for yourselves and each other today 💗🏳️⚧️
