The organizers of a major UK entertainment industry awards have just dropped the hammer on spoiled “non-binary” celebrities and told “woke” stars they will need to choose either male or female categories.
The British Academy Film Awards, best known as BAFTA, has refused to introduce “gender-neutral” categories to cater to “woke” celebrities.
Instead, the organizers of the BAFTA Awards, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, have announced there will only be male or female categories.
The decision comes after spending two years debating the thorny question of “gendered” acting categories after other awards went genderless.
However, BAFTA Awards nominees will now have to pick a side and choose whether they want to compete as “actors” or “actresses.”
The announcement places several stars who may be up for awards, such as Emma Corrin, Emma D’Arcy, and Bella Ramsey, in a tricky position.
All three actresses, who are clearly women, claim to have attention-seeking “non-binary” gender “identities.”
However, revised guidelines released last week say that film producers must “confirm the gender/gender identity of each candidate for nomination.”
A source adds: “It is up to the entrant which category they enter into.”
It follows the decision in 2022 by BAFTA Awards’ music counterparts, the Brit Awards, to go gender neutral.
BAFTA organizers revealed that they were engaged in “proactive and thoughtful consultation” on the subject of gendered acting categories.
They said they were speaking to “sector peers, industry stakeholders, and experts.”
Ultimately, though, they opted to make no change, effectively shutting out the growing band of allegedly “non-binary” actors and actresses.
A BAFTA spokesman said that while the actor and actress categories remained, the certificate and mask could carry the term “performer” if that was preferred by the winner.
The Brit Awards, meanwhile, no longer has gendered categories, such as Best Male Solo Artist.
The change was introduced following pressure from singer Sam Smith.
Smith is a large bearded man who claims to be “non-binary” and demands people use awkward “they/they” pronouns to address him.
Singer Adele, who won Best British Artist in 2022, said on stage:
“I understand why the name of this award has changed but I really love being a woman and being a female artist.”
However, the comments provoked outrage and Adele was slammed by leftists as a so-called “transphobe” over the comment.
Last year, the Brit Awards was also met with a backlash after the Best British Artist shortlist was all-male.
It remains to be seen how many “non-binary” celebrities will be willing to give up their prestigious BAFTA awards over gendered categories, however.
