Culture Oppenheimer Actor Emma Dumont Comes Out as Trans-Masculine and Non-Binary, Uses They/Them Pronouns - Dumont will continue to go by Emma professionally and Nick in their personal life

Emma Dumont is sharing a major life update.

Dumont, best known for playing Jackie Oppenheimer in the 2023 Oscar-winning biopic Oppenheimer, and Lorna Dane/Polaris in the comic book series The Gifted, came out as trans-masculine and non-binary this week per their representative, and will go by they/them pronouns instead of she/her.

TMZ was first to report the news.

Their Instagram bio reflects their new pronouns and name — Nick — though Dumont's representative confirmed Dumont will continue to go by Emma professionally.

"They identify as a trans masculine non-binary person. Their work name is still going to be Emma Dumont, but they will go by Nick with friends and family," the rep TMZ.

"Only call me Nick if ur cool okay?" they wrote on their updated Instagram profile.

Dumont shared a carousel of Instagram photos earlier this week, including a bathroom selfie and a shot of themselves holding a guitar.

Their next role is in a film coincidentally titled New Me. The film is currently in post-production and does not yet have a release date.

PEOPLE reached out to Dumont's representative for comment.

Don't care. TTD.

 

[The Taco Santo!]

She's very masculine. Is she the one showing her very manly tits and ass in Oppenheimer?

 

[Tacgnol]

A fetal alcohol syndrome sufferer acting retarded? Well I never..

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole 2]

Not a good career move, she can never play a female cis-character again(very offensive, stick to your gender) and there aren't many no effort trans-masc non-binary characters written these days. If it were up to me she would be allowed to portray women on screen but I'm not the one making up the rules.

 

[Dragged Into Sunlight]

This is not news. Becoming a pooner is just what girls do now instead of getting eating disorders. The detransitioner, Charlie Bentley-Astor, has spoken a lot about this.

Yup. So curious how the rate of anorexia has fallen at almost the exact inverse of the anorexia rate among women. It's the current self-harm vector of choice for young women. Ask any teacher and they will tell you that once a girl goes anorexic in school, you'll soon have a dozen develop eating disorders and the same goes with gender bullshit.

 

[HodgePodgeRogerDodger]

Reminder that there is a Greek myth about a rape victim wishing to become a man so they can’t be raped again and in some variations commits suicide.

Caeneus is the myth.

 

[Retink Retunk]

Are we taking bets on which producer or actor molested her into this?

 

[Silence of the Troons]

>Gets a haircut and buys a tube of hair gel
>Instantly becomes a he/they because women can't have short hair
Don't suggest that being nonbinary (or a troon) just comes down to stereotypes though, that's TERF propaganda which puts trans+- people in grave danger.

 

[Rootless Cosmopolitan]

What a crock. Poon out properly or not at all.

She saw what total pooning did to Ellen Page’s career and decided to go for a safer partial poon

 

[Ser Prize]

Yeah, that side of things isn't really funny, it's highly concerning. I wouldn't want to be raising a teenage girl right now.

Pooners outnumber MTFs by a fair margin these days, but you can't mock them as hard because people think they're all poor widdle victims of sexual abuse.

 

[AgendaPoster]

Cillian Murphy ogled the fuck out of this woman and she did the One and Only Reasonable Thing when a woman gets looked at in a sexual manner.
You just poon out.
On the spot.
No excuses, no other choice.

 

[Morethanabitfoolish]

Nah, she'll take whatever roles she can because critiquing her is bigotry even if it's pointing out she's failing to play roles that match to her pretend identity. Non-binary is "do what I want."

 

[Flamin Park]

I know KF focuses a lot on MTFs because of how gross and unlikeable they tend to be, but after looking at the data I'm honestly more concerned by the sudden and rapid increase in FTMs. Data proves the increase in people identifying as trans has been driven mainly by women:

Women are naturally more susceptible to social contagion. Holywood retards even more so. Combine these and we get the diva shtick, tiny dogs in handbags, famous sex tapes, heroin chic, adopting/stealing children from blackest aidsville Africa and now pooning out.

If you got Zendaya or whatever to take up shitting and pissing herself in public, within a week half of the actresses in Hollywood would be appearing in stained pants to make speeches about how toilets need to be optional. Most of these women were picked up because they were pretty and could follow directions, they aren't big on original thinking

 

[urr13 account]

I don't remember her character in the movie.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

I don't remember her character in the movie.

To be fair, I think the only thing that is memorable about the movie is the Barbenhiemer memes and Cillian Murphey's weird bugeye stare that he always does.

 

[JohnnyG]

I can understand this in ugly women, but why would any attractive woman choose to be a guy?

A classic sign of abuse in young girls is when they suddenly try to uglify themselves, presumably to escape future molesterer attention. So chopping off their hair, wearing baggy clothes, weight gain, and perhaps at the extreme end, trying to become a guy.

For the older ones, I think years of feminist media from all directions actually convinces them that "male privilege" exists (it does, but only for a tiny fraction of very accomplished or attractive men...not some unearned trade all males receive). Once they become an unimpressive facsimile of a man, they trade humanity's inherent empathy for women for the universe's indifference for men, and often become depressed.

In some cases, this leads to mental breakdown, institutionalization, and suicide.

Bitch is really late to hop on the trend. Right when the pendulum is about to swing.

You're falling for the victim narrative again. Every time pooners are brought up it's always "they're victims who want to be safe" and I just don't buy it. Not nowadays when this gender shit is trendy and 'in'. I doubt 1% of pooners have been molested, it just doesn't make sense.

What I think is more likely is feminists have made being a woman so scary for girls that they take the very trendy 'opt out' option of pooning. Maybe if deranged feminists didn't claim men were constantly looking to violate women at every moment and that puberty is Literally Hell there wouldn't be so many cases.

I said "young girls", as in children and pre/young teens. The same way that "Jazz" Jennings (chemically sterilized starting at age 11-12) never stood a chance and should be pitied more than mocked.

I do not consider that to be the case for predators and fetishists like Richard "Rachel" Levine or Kate "Chase" Strangio.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Imagine watching Oppenheimer at all. As far as I know, it was one giant love letter to Kitty Oppenheimer and Jean Tatlock, who were both filthy communists.
