What you're saying...there arent a lot of acting roles for trannies, who are victims of a tyrannical, sexist, oppressive society?! MAN, THAT SUCKS! Im gonna talk to some people, straighten this out. This is a bunch of bullcrap.

A man being allowed to portray a female character would be yet another example of Hollywood male privilege. He should drop out of the role so that it can be rightly played by a female actress.

Fully agree. These pesky white male with their white male privileges ...

but I guess they will find a way to change her gender in the movie as well. it's so progressive after all.

She’s a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude.

There are usually last minute re-shoots though in movies and especially tv series.
