Actors should NEVER act in roles that are not exactly like the lives they already live. NEVER!!!!

Okay. Never mind. You are clearly not understanding what I am saying. Have a nice day.

What evidence do you have to support your statement that “actually listening to trans people... people will more likely protest the casting of cis people in trans role”? Is it your own personal feeling? Have their been studies? You are assuming that the majority of people share the same opinions that you do and are…

How is “educating yourself” asking media to do better? And how is saying it is “just acting” gaslighting?

I have watched the documentary. That is irrelevant. You just implicitly admitted that your reality is shaped by this piece of media, but that it’s okay because according to you, it isn’t “negative”, whatever that means. I was just pointing out the hypocrisy.

I think it’s ridiculous that an actor/actress—a fckn artist!—is “bullied” into apologizing for considering a role because she isn’t transgender. I mean, “Isn’t that’s what actors do—’play a role’ other than themselves?” Is this what political correctness has come to—that an artist can only create (act, sing, dance,…

I dunno...it’s pretty clear that McKellen should only ever be allowed to play gay men.

This just made me think Halle Berry is dumb. You can only understand people if you play them in a movie? Girl...

Whatever project this was, it is dead now, bc the producer had a star like Halle Berry in mind, so this was definitely a movie project with a sizable budget, certainly not your run of the mill no budget indie flick. Good luck finding a male trans actor who can convince people to invest millions of dollars in that…

Gonna say it right now, this version of representation whereby “X character has to be X in real life” is going to age poorly. That isn’t your goal. It’s almost the opposite of the goal. Turning LGBT+ real life people into a niche character acting genre is.... problematic?

And yet, you are telling people to consume a piece of media to shape their reality.

Why should she apologies? It is called acting. Does a transsexual need to apologies for playing a woman? Does a non-handicapped person need to apologies for playing handicapped. Can only the mentally challenged play the mentally challenged. If anything this is only going to lead to less diversity in tv, movies and…

Ya know Michael B, Jordan isn’t a kind hearted damaged kid from Baltimore, Donald Glover not a African Lion or Chris Hemsworth not the Norse God of Thunder right? I support trans right but they’re on some bullshit being trans is a choice and much like Rachel Dolizol I’ll respect your choice of a new identity but…

“actors taking up roles that so many trans people would give anything to play”

but she COULD play hitler, right?

Wait what?!? She is an actress and a very talented one at that. Lost me on this one.

So men in dresses are above black women in the Progressive stack? This should be good!

I’m sorry, but I disagree with this backlash. While it is definitely necessary for more representation for trans men in Hollywood, it is acting. It’s not like she’s playing another race. There should be no reason for Halle Berry to receive backlash for considering or even playing this role, at most the studio for not…

Welcome to the witch hunt Jimmy.
