It must be this film…

Looks like it’s from back when she was doing primarily exploitation films…

If you haven’t seen it, she appears in this documentary about Roger Corman’s production company that operated out of the Philippines…

… HELL. YES.

Something to go with the silly wooden swords I bought from the ren faire, although I wouldn’t want to get hit with one of those either. :smiley:

Completely reasonable. Generous, even.

I need to send this to my dad… I came out to him 4 years and 7 days ago and he still deadnames/misgenders me regularly. That’s a huge part of why I talk to him once every couple months now.

I’m sorry he keeps doing that. I still occasionally misgender my SIL, but almost never in front of her and I always correct myself in the moment or my spouse does. Or I correct him in the moment. When my kid asked her dead name, I couldn’t even remember it for a day!
I think our kid was asking because her grandmother is much like your father. Though MIL usually manages to avoid using SIL’s dead name in front of my husband and I. We will interrupt and correct her every time. I suspect it gets tedious.

:weary: it’s just basic damned respect. How is that so hard?!

I had nickname everyone used as a child that I decided I didn’t want anymore. 12ish years of everyone using this nickname and not my full one. No one made a big deal about it and most people changed quickly, except my sister who continued to use the hated nickname expressly to piss me off.
