Netflix Does Transgenders

The new, diminished Oscar statuette

I was surprised when this year's Oscar nominations were announced yesterday and I hadn't seen even one of the ten films nominated in the Best Picture category -- a shocking fact, even for me who eschews most of mass media. But then today I read that the film that swept the awards with 13 nominations, more than any other film, is a musical drama about a transgender drug lord and I breathed a sigh of relief. 

My life, or what's left of it, is just too damn short to waste on such nonsense. While I am still healthy and energetic, working out at a CrossFit gym twice a week and in control of all my bodily functions, at the age of 78 I suppose many people see me as having one foot in the grave. If it means I don't have to watch transgenders in fancy costumes singing about drug lords, I'm okay with that.
