Johansson drops out of Rub & Tug day after Black Widow gets a director Moviesnob Jul 13, 11:13

Wow. Pivotal moment in Hollywood. They can only cast a trans person in that role now. {nm} Antibody Jul 13, 11:16

She drops out so another female can pretend to be a male. {nm} Chimpmuck Jul 13, 11:21

No cis actress is stupid to take this role now. {nm} Antibody Jul 13, 11:24

Only a "trans" female pretending to be a male can play a female pretending to be a male? {nm} Chimpmuck Jul 13, 11:26

Again after the backlash, no cis is stupid enough to take this role. {nm} Antibody Jul 13, 11:32

Shouldn't the producer be blamed for not hiring a trans gender actor ? {nm} Randy Jul 13, 11:40

SJOHA is one of the producers {nm} RogerMore Jul 13, 11:47

Okay now i understand the hate lol. I didn't know she was a producer on the project. {nm} Randy Jul 13, 11:54

Really, it's that trans men don't get opportunities to play men, and trans women don't get opportunities to play women, so all that is left RogerMore Jul 13, 12:24

She dropped out because of the backlash. No menion of BWDOW in her statement. {nm} Antibody Jul 13, 11:36

So what's next for Hollywood only a real killer can play a killer ? {nm} Randy Jul 13, 11:21

Wrong analogy. Sexual identity is more like race. {nm} Antibody Jul 13, 11:30

I'm just meaning there actors playing a role. {nm} Randy Jul 13, 11:37

So you don't object to blackface or whitewashing? {nm} Antibody Jul 13, 11:39

Of course i object to that. {nm} Randy Jul 13, 11:44

Then that's how a trans person feels who a cis like SJOHA play their role. Antibody Jul 13, 11:46

who=when {nm} Antibody Jul 13, 11:47

Why wouldn't the producers hire a real trans gender ? They should get the blame not her. She's just doing her job. {nm} Randy Jul 13, 11:50

You're 100% right that producers can share blame if the goal here is representation. But the great thing about mistakes is you can learn Moviesnob Jul 13, 11:54

Exactly. {nm} Randy Jul 13, 11:56

Like transgenderism, acting is just make believe {nm} Chimpmuck Jul 13, 11:44

Sex change isn't make believe. {nm} Antibody Jul 13, 11:47

ie Undergoing an operation. {nm} Antibody Jul 13, 11:48

Surgery can't change your sex, only your appearance {nm} Chimpmuck Jul 13, 11:50

Surgery is real and permanent, not "make believe". {nm} Antibody Jul 13, 11:52

Umm I'm pretty sure the surgery will change your sex. {nm} Randy Jul 13, 11:52

Cutting something off of your body or otherwise altering it does not change your sex, only your appearance. {nm} Chimpmuck Jul 13, 11:55

You're wrong. many of states require reassignment surgery to legally change your gender and have your birth certificate re-issued {nm} Moviesnob Jul 13, 11:58

Sex is not binary. There are people born with odd chroosomes like XXY, or other appearances like don't match XX or XY. {nm} Antibody Jul 13, 11:59

Developmental abnormalities like Klinefelter syndrome are a weak argument for support of transgenderism {nm} Chimpmuck Jul 13, 12:05

Well I'm sure they would beg the differ. All people should have the right to feel the way they are. {nm} Randy Jul 13, 12:02

Actually, it's gender that's make believe. {nm} Bronzey Jul 13, 12:17

Who/whom. It all depends on what race/sex/sexual identity is being replaced, and by wat other identity it's being replaced {nm} MattW Jul 13, 12:02

Dante Tex Gill's cousin believes he would have wanted to be played by a male actor, since he self-identified as a man slipping jimmy Jul 13, 11:53

I knew Tex Gill (slightly). Don't know what she would have wanted but it would have been weird. I also knew one of her acquaintances, who DTXbro Jul 13, 12:02

Her snarky response to criticisms before already did a little too much damage for me. Ed Skrein was classier backing out of Hellboy. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 13, 11:40

Exhausting, tedious, ultimately dividing people one way or the other. All of these things are killing us. It's a shame. Goodvibe61 Jul 13, 11:58

did they even try to audition any trans men for this role? {nm} tealfan Jul 13, 12:56

Think this wasn’t an audition scenario. ScarJo was a producer. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 13, 14:25
