See, heres the thing. The pool of transgender actors is pretty small. Think about it. How many do you know? No, Im not judging you for that. There doesnt seem to be a lot of us, is what Im saying. And its kind of hard for us to get cast in anything sometimes. And for that small group of actors, it is pretty frustrating to see the rare role of a transgender character being played by a cisgender actor is, to say the least, frustrating. Felicity Huffman, Hilary Swank, Jared Leto, Im glad you guys did the hell out of some research, but I am giving you some side eye. So, it is a whole bunch heartwarming to see a cis ally speak to this and point out that this is kinda messed up. Thanks, Sean. It is sincerely heartening to read a thing like this. Puts a little extra wind in my sails.
