Will Ferrell on navigating his friend's transition in the new documentary film Will and Harper

[lucas80]

In 2001 Will Ferrell joined the cast of SNL. At first the writers struggled to make use of Ferrell's unique style and talents. Ferrell began to click when Harper Steele began to collaborate with him. A friendship and a working partnership blossomed. They lost touch during the pandemic, and Ferrell was stunned when Steele reached out to announce she was transitioning. Ferrell asked her to take a road trip across America, and they filmed their journey which was turned into a highly acclaimed documentary. They moved closer to each other as friends, they found out a lot about themselves during the trip, and demonstrated the range of acceptance for trans citizens across the US. Steele notes that having such a recognizable star as Ferrell along for the ride opened a few doors for them.

She looks a little bit like the put the lotion in the basket guy.

It is interesting that when the story is of understanding and acceptance, of humanity, there isn't the blind hatred.
Maybe it's just about certain people needing to watch a documentary like this one and seeing others as they are, and accepting that?

Wow. Ferrell left SNL in 2002. I didn't realize he was only on for one season.

What next? You gonna tell me that Harper Steele is a woman?

wonder who the new poster could be.

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

That’s why you don’t give your child a name that can be both male and female. Confuses the shit out of the person. I’m sure a few times in his life he heard. Harper, are you a boy or a girl.

I kid, but I do hate it when people use names that can be used for both boys and girls. It’s confusing as shit when you just see a list of names and have no idea what the sex is and you’re supposed to be getting them something to fit their gender.

No.

There's a lot of power in a name. A lot of thought goes into a name. There are a ton of uni-sex names.

I'm me. Who are you?

He started on SNL in 95.

Nothings more powerful than being a boy and having a girl in your class with the same name.

 

[Joes Place]

2002 - 1995 = 1 in MAGALand, yo...

 

[EvolutionDenier]

I know.

 

[Nole-4-Life]

I know.

Your sarcasm font is broken

So which names need to go away? Steph Curry seems to be doing ok.

 

[onlyTheObvious]

Unless he plans on competing in female geriatric pickleball tournaments I don’t care.

 

[Dr. Spaceman]

Your sarcasm font is broken

I think those evil trannies broke his sense of humor.

 

[EvolutionDenier]

A trans woman. You ALMOST got it!

Nope. Trans women are women, but not XX. Maybe one day you’ll learn

Trans women are trans women. This part of the world has finally found enlightenment on this issue and soon will be right about this civil rights issue like the left was right about women, then Blacks, then gays. Cry about it.

And then there's the ACLU's ol' Strange Chasio:

I've been informed that transwomen are transwomen, transwomen ARE women, and now they're back to transwomen. Has the position once again retreated to regroup?

 

[EvolutionDenier]

2002 - 1995 = 1 in MAGALand, yo...

Talk to @lucas80. He made the claim, yo

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

It’s pretty simple to figure out. Any name that is used as a boy and as a girl.
Harper, Jamie, Charlie, Jerry, Steph, Billie, and so on.
I mean you can keep using them but I’m sure it has to be annoying when people are always asking what sex you are or guessing wrong assuming it’s the other sex when they see it wrote down.

Hell I find it annoying when people think I’m black because of my first name and they think I’m Hispanic because of my last name. I even get Spanish mail and it’s annoying af.

He can't. This is a very big deal for him. He has to buy stuff all the time for kids and he doesn't know their gender. ITS TOUGH OUT HERE MAN
