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
for them are trans roles. But there's no barrier (until recently, in the form of protest) for a cis actor playing a trans person, and obviously the commercial decision is to pick an actor with name recognition, star power, box office draw etc over one with none of those things, so what opportunities for trans actors does that leave?
If audiences would accept trans actors playing cis roles, this wouldn't be an issue - but they don't, so here we are.
Johansson drops out of Rub & Tug day after Black Widow gets a director Jul 13, 11:13
Wow. Pivotal moment in Hollywood. They can only cast a trans person in that role now. {nm} Jul 13, 11:16
She drops out so another female can pretend to be a male. {nm} Jul 13, 11:21
No cis actress is stupid to take this role now. {nm} Jul 13, 11:24
Only a "trans" female pretending to be a male can play a female pretending to be a male? {nm} Jul 13, 11:26
Again after the backlash, no cis is stupid enough to take this role. {nm} Jul 13, 11:32
Shouldn't the producer be blamed for not hiring a trans gender actor ? {nm} Jul 13, 11:40
SJOHA is one of the producers {nm} Jul 13, 11:47
Okay now i understand the hate lol. I didn't know she was a producer on the project. {nm} 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 Jul 13, 12:24
She dropped out because of the backlash. No menion of BWDOW in her statement. {nm} Jul 13, 11:36
So what's next for Hollywood only a real killer can play a killer ? {nm} Jul 13, 11:21
Wrong analogy. Sexual identity is more like race. {nm} Jul 13, 11:30
I'm just meaning there actors playing a role. {nm} Jul 13, 11:37
So you don't object to blackface or whitewashing? {nm} Jul 13, 11:39
Of course i object to that. {nm} Jul 13, 11:44
Then that's how a trans person feels who a cis like SJOHA play their role. {nm} Jul 13, 11:46
who=when {nm} 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} Jul 13, 11:50
Exactly. {nm} Jul 13, 11:56
Like transgenderism, acting is just make believe {nm} Jul 13, 11:44
Sex change isn't make believe. {nm} Jul 13, 11:47
ie Undergoing an operation. {nm} Jul 13, 11:48
Surgery can't change your sex, only your appearance {nm} Jul 13, 11:50
Surgery is real and permanent, not "make believe". {nm} Jul 13, 11:52
Umm I'm pretty sure the surgery will change your sex. {nm} Jul 13, 11:52
Cutting something off of your body or otherwise altering it does not change your sex, only your appearance. {nm} Jul 13, 11:55
Sex is not binary. There are people born with odd chroosomes like XXY, or other appearances like don't match XX or XY. {nm} Jul 13, 11:59
Developmental abnormalities like Klinefelter syndrome are a weak argument for support of transgenderism {nm} 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} Jul 13, 12:02
Actually, it's gender that's make believe. {nm} Jul 13, 12:17
Dante Tex Gill's cousin believes he would have wanted to be played by a male actor, since he self-identified as a man Jul 13, 11:53
Exhausting, tedious, ultimately dividing people one way or the other. All of these things are killing us. It's a shame. Jul 13, 11:58
did they even try to audition any trans men for this role? {nm} Jul 13, 12:56
Think this wasn’t an audition scenario. ScarJo was a producer. {nm} Jul 13, 14:25
