It’s just not fair. Diana Moon Glampers would not be at all pleased.

It still does. Happy, joyful, and merry.

The alternate usage should be transgender (transgender spectrum or transgender spectrum disorder) or deviation from the masculine and feminine gender (i.e. physical and mental traits) closely correlated with the male and female sex, respectively. The modern, progressive (i.e. monotonic), or liberal (i.e. divergent) usage refers to males who exhibit a feminine or alternating feminine/masculine sexual orientation.

That said, humans are defined by a constellation of physical and mental traits, not limited to sexual orientation.

Harassment now means “unwanted”, which is quite a morph from its ‘formal’ definition. We live on shifting sands, rather like standing on the crest of a dune in the Sahara.

“Gay” used to mean something quite different, too, and being labelled “discriminating” was high praise of good taste, in my lifetime. Rogers Peet, a high-end men’s conservative clothier in NYC, used to advertise itself as being for men of discriminating taste.

Had a great time I tell you what. Now non-dancing SJWs are observing this scene and demanding new rules of etiquette intended to kill any dance passion. A good dance leader know exactly what women respond to and doesn’t need instruction from feminist clods who can’t even stay on beat.

As for modern dance it is pretentious and boring. True dance beauty comes from pattern and synchronization which modern dance hates and labels as uninteresting. Perhaps because modern dance exalts the ego whereas traditional dance are just about having fun with the opposite sex.

I think that might have been the secondary or co- drama of the movie.

I found the story rather repulsive when I saw the film, having been lured in by the dancing milieu.
