The transgender community is up in arms again because a cisgender male actor is playing a transgender woman in some new film. “Why wasn’t a transgender actress selected to play the role?” they
They don’t call it “acting” for nothing. I say choose the best person for the job.
Can you imagine if the trans community’s argument was used across the board?
- Hire a royal to portray King George VI in the The King's Speech.
- Hire a general to portray General Patton in Patton.
- Hire a psychopath to portray Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs.
Ridiculous!
Did gays get where they are today by complaining when straights portrayed gays in films?
It is trivial stuff like this that makes us look childish and just gives the “normals” another excuse to keep us down.
