But at then what is the difference between Tambor (someone who hasn’t actually taken any hormones or received surgery) playing the character and a trans identifying actor who hasn’t taken any hormones or received surgery playing the character?

Not all trans people have had surgery and hormones. Some don’t even want them. It isn’t “medical transition” which makes someone trans.

Hi. Jeffrey Tambor isn’t entitled to keep his job after multiple accusations, found credible through an internal investigation. You, random internet tween, are not entitled to their findings.

How would a trans actor play the character pre-transition?

You don’t know how any of this works, do you.

Translation: other successful actors are getting away with behaving badly at work, why am I getting picked on waaaaahhhhhhh”

Never go full Tim Allen.

He and his parents should have to pay for the entire installation to be replaced - and issue an apology. What scum are among us.

I don’t think you understand the phrase white fragility, then.

NEVER read the comments unless you’re trying to get stuck in some Boschian hellscape.

The first version of your comment didn’t say white fragility, just “buzzword” - hence, my original response.

You better let them know!

lol, yes, they were always here. A fish don’t notice water, girl.

Yeh, but then they end up supporting Martin Luther King, and are told to be silent again.

It’s funny, I remember a lot of HIV education in the 00's making a point of calling the treatments “drug cocktails,” usually with a picture of someone taking 20 different $1000 pills each morning. They wanted to emphasize how much managing it would take over your life.

Really with anyone. His feelings about it are his own and I don’t think you should be trying to manage his reaction by suggesting he isn’t broken up enough about it. Be available for support when he needs it but don’t try to convince him he doesn’t feel bad enough, especially when you don’t live in his head. I don’t…

thank-you. you took the words right out of my mouth.

I’m not sure you should be lecturing HIV positive people about whether they’re emoting enough publicly about their diagnosis.
