    He’ll just come out as a trans woman, and Piers will be his dead name. He just needs a Jane Bond film for strength.

    imagine a masculinity so fragile that not only do you think the most basic, lamest fictional character is important, and you’re upset about it, but you’re willing to say that in public?

    Seriously, these people have never been in a fist fight and it shows.

        Punching a subordinate who you know will almost certainly not fight back doesn’t count as a fight, in fact it fits exactly the bill for these types. Find people in relatively weak positions in a dominance hierarchy and exploit the power differential to hurt them.

        Come back to me when he’s punched Piers Morgan, I would pay to watch that.

    I actually think a bond film where bonds egg cracks during the first half of the film and for the rest of the film the villain and miss Moneypenny are very quick to adapt and refer to her as Jane/miss Bond. M is well meaning but old fashioned and is mostly supportive and keeps self correcting. Q in typical tech bro fashion is a sexist chaser and keeps making inappropriate comments.

    The main plot of the film comes when bond comes out to Felix Leiter, who it turns out is a maga shithead and manipulates evidence to turn the CIA against her. She has to rely on the villain from the first half to bring down Felix and clear her name.

    I wonder what Jane bonds baby trans wardrobe looks like 🤔

      Either that or Q figures it out before bond does, and gives hints to kickstart the whole process, but it makes sense only at the end of the movie. After all there’s other categories of tech people

      The villians respecting gender seems kind of silly though. They don’t even respect human lives, they would missgender on purpose.

        Many would consider me a villain and I’ve always respected people’s pronouns etc. I’d argue that it’s the law abiding middle and upper class who are most judgemental.

        Bah, it’s because they give no shits about peoples’ lives that they can turn on a dime: James Bond is dead? Good. Jane is a far more fitting nemesis for me!

        The misgendering on purpose is an inspired asshole move, just as Miyamoto Musashi would play it.
