even discounting the shittiness of casting a cis dude to play a trans woman.


I haven't seen the movie and won't defend it, but are you really suggesting that you can only cast a trans woman to play a trans woman? Because I don't know of any Hollywood-caliber trans women.

Laverne Cox? Jamie Clayton? Mya Taylor? Kiki Rodriguez? Those are just the first four coming to mind who have been in things and received acclaim lately, I highly doubt they're the only trans actresses in existence.

e: actually, Jamie Clayton would have been a pretty good choice to play Lili Elbe.

As much as I like Laverne Cox on Orange is the New Black, she hasn't shown the chops to go beyond a supporting character in a major motion picture. Jamie Clayton is 38 years old. I've never heard of the latter two.

I was reading them last year and there's poo poo like "I met this actor at a party last year, he was nice, I'm voting for him, I haven't seen any of the movies" and other utterly flabbergasting bullshit

It really is kind of surprising that Leo hasn't gotten an Oscar yet
