Princess Emily
and they are making yet another movie about a trans woman. where she is played by a cis dude.
Princess Emily
I fucking
Princess Emily
knew this was going to be a fucking trend
Princess Emily
Jared Leto wins an Oscar hey this is In let's cash in on trans women's stories
Princess Emily
and then the Danish Girl
Princess Emily
and now this
Princess Emily
Matt Bomer playing a trans lady
Princess Emily
Mark Ruffalo as the exec producer I thought you were better than this
Princess Emily
I'm so fucking tired
dragon time
I wonder how many trans actresses there are who're seething about this
Princess Emily
I know the trans actress from sense8 tried out for the role
Princess Emily
and was like "please don't cast a cis guy"
Striving Spark
Just. Fuck everything. Especially transparent. Especially everything.

I was thinking for a minute, it'd probably be hard to find pre-transition actresses if that's the kind of story they're telling
dragon time
but on the other hand there's tons of potential new talent out there
dragon time
and you could have a really authentic movie if you hired a trans lead where the only thing stopping her from going forth was money
dragon time
I mean, filming something so personal isn't going to be something every actress would be ok doing but I bet there are more people who'd be up for it in the film industry than in most other fields
dragon time
it'd even be a better attention-grabber than "yet another cis bloke"
Princess Emily
well point one there are trans actresses who tried for the role
Princess Emily
and point two in this case it looks like the part is for a post transition trans lady
dragon time
what, then that's completely ridiculous unless leto is legit trans and is planning on coming out this way
dragon time
which I would not exactly put past leto but I sincerely doubt is the case
DSTXC
That was years ago and also Leto's a shit ssso
dragon time
oh, I read that as leto being in the new movie
dragon time
my bad
Princess Emily
Matt Bomer
Princess Emily
who is gay
Princess Emily
playing a trans woman
Princess Emily
in a story about a guy who falls in love with a trans sex worker
Princess Emily
which is like the absolute worst scenario lol
Princess Emily
it reinforces the idea that trans women are cis dudes pretending to be women specifically to trick guys
Striving Spark
Also reminding me of a certain will and grace episode right now. wrinkles nose
Striving Spark
(Where jack is attracted to a woman, but it turns out to be okay because she was still "male" from the waist down. :/ just. :/ )
