Adult Babies Shriek Obscenities at Director of 1999 Pro-"Trans" Film Boys Don't Cry for Being Insufficiently Pro-"Trans"

Someone, I forget who, postulated the beginning of the end for this militant Snowflakism would be when they began to piss off their chief propaganda organ -- Hollywood -- enough that even Hollywood said, "Fuck these hysterical Adult Babies."

We're getting there.

The students hurled a litany of insults at [Boys Don't Cry director Kimberly] Peirce, putting up posters that read "fuck your transphobia" and "you don't fucking get it" among other things. Worse, when Peirce ascended to her podium, students had placed a sign there. It read "fuck this cis white bitch." That Peirce is actually gender-fluid is quite beside the point.

The students' unbelievable rudeness crossed the line into a kind of censorship when Peirce tried to speak: the students simply shouted over her. Eventually they let her talk, but some students continued to yell things like "fuck your respectability politics" and "fuck you scared bitch."

...

You're probably [] wondering why the social justice left hates Peirce so much. Well, the film was ahead of its time in 1999, but in 2016 it's problematic. That's because the main character, Brandon, was played by Hilary Swank, a non-trans person. Students were also incensed at the idea of Peirce having profited from violence against trans people, which isn't a remotely accurate way to characterize things, but there it is.

University officials bothered doing what they never bother doing when the Adult Babies shout down a conservative -- they chided (gently) the Adult Babies.
