'AHS' Star Emma Roberts Alleged Refusal To Call Transgender Co-Star A Woman Leads To Social Media Outcry
Emma Roberts is the internet's top enemy after allegations she refused to acknowledge an actor's gender identity.
Roberts has starred in several seasons of the hit show "American Horror Story" and shared the screen with Angelica Ross in "AHS: 1984" back in 2019.
It was one of the best seasons of the show, and injected life back into the Ryan Murphy production after a few disappointing seasons.
However, it was apparently incredibly tense when Ross, a biological man, wasn't called a woman by Roberts.

Angelia Ross accuses Emma Roberts of not recognizing transgender identity.
"And John [Gray] is like, 'Okay ladies, you know, that’s enough. You know, let’s get back to work.' And she then looks at me and goes, 'Don't you mean lady,'" Ross alleged on an Instagram stream (via AV Club).
Ross accused Roberts of covering her face and turning away, but the "1984" costar was livid by the fact Emma Roberts recognized the actor by biological sex.
"I'm looking at her dead ass in the camera like, 'What the f*ck did you just say?" And I'm standing there looking her dead ass in the damn thing, and I'm, like, trying to process the f*ck she just say...As she walked away, my blood is boiling. Boiling," Ross further alleged.
The "1984" cast member further claimed they couldn't speak up out of fear of "repercussions."
Did Roberts do anything wrong?
X is on fire right now with people flaming Emma Roberts for not referring to Ross as a woman, despite the fact the actor is not a biological woman at all.
Angelica Ross has XY chromosomes just like every other man on the planet. Yet, people - like Ross - are livid she didn't go along with the actor's identity.
A tweet going viral is even calling for violence against Emma Roberts.
Yet, what's the problem here? She called the people being spoken to by director John Gray a single woman, not two?
That's the issue. Lady, not ladies. Emma Roberts, by the medical and scientific definition, wasn't incorrect when she said that in an exchange between her and Ross that only one was a true woman.
Now, that's not to say you should ever be rude to people, and Roberts has had issues in the past unrelated to this.
However, this is the United States of America. People are allowed to feel how they want to feel. Just because someone claims to be a woman doesn't mean ANYONE is obligated to go along with the shtick . Are we all required to pretend Dylan Mulvaney and his five o'clock shadow are female?

Refusing to call a biological man a woman shouldn't be a cancelable event, especially when the party being accused is a REAL woman. The outrage needs to stop. Emma Roberts, just like everyone else, is free to not participate in the transgender insanity.
