I'm not even going to say anything, I'm just going to let you read.
"Firstly, the protagonist of the film is male, white and straight (SURPRISED?). Played by Chiss Pratt, this dude is really adventurous and brave and shit, and is really portrayed in a good light. They kept all the good sides of the male stereotype in and removed the catcalling, the hitting women and the raping that women and transfolk are subjected to on a daily basis. Meanwhile, the (white!) female lead is submissive, passive and far too attractive to make women feel comfortable watching her. Why couldn't they have made her into a kickass, strong, fierce kinda ugly, sassy black woman who rides dinosaurs and takes names? It would have been so simple to make such a tiny tweak and make the movie safe to watch for everyone in the process.
But what got to me the most is not even the gender roles - cuz they're fucking everywhere and I am so desensitized to them - no, the biggest problem with this movie is how it portrays the dinosaurs. It appears that from the the get go, all dinosaurs in this movie are cisgender. They all seem to subscribe to the gender they were assigned at birth and there is no exploration of the dinosaurs gender respective identities. The dinosaurs are given very shallow roles where important issues like gender dysphoria, gender belonging and transitioning into another gender are completely swept under the rug. At least 10% of all humans are transgender and why would it be different in the dinosaur community?"
"If you enjoyed this film, you must be a white male asshole who only cares about violence and killing stuff. You must be super unaware of the struggle that millions of transpeople have to go through EVERY DAY in this transphobic society and by going to see this movie, you are contributing to their pain.
If you don't boycott this movie for not featuring transgender dinosaurs, I fucking hate you and hope you get run over by a bus.
Discuss this with me under the hashtag #TransDino and I'll prove you wrong every. fucking. time."
