And everybody loses their minds

Hahahaha! I'm transphobic for this meme? Hahahahah! I used to be like you. Funny how the tables have turned

Oh! I see! Haha! I thought you were coming down on me. Actually, your meme makes total sense now... Whoops!

Haha. That's okay.

I have no idea why this anecdote stuck in my brain... but several years back Rebecca Romijn (Original Mystique, former Model, ex Wife of Stamos)

was cast as a trans-Woman (I think that's how the terms work, Born male, body work to be Female) on Ugly Betty... a reporter asked her about "Playing a Man" or some such not sure if, like me here they didn't grasp the 'details' or what...

Romijn's reply was to the affect of "I'm playing a Woman. the character IS now a woman, and that's how I play 'her'."

If we are to believe the 'born in the wrong body', it's a Physical issue, Not a psychological issue etc...

Then should not the attention in Casting actors for for such roles be about the 'Result' and Not the Process.

also If you insist that casting be limited to real people within that subset are you not limiting the freedom of the Creators...

- say they Cast George Clooney in Avengers 4 as Thanos' Good Twin 'Clunos' or some such... come Avengers 6 the new writers decide 'Clunos' is Gay...
do you recast George Clooney with Sean Hayes?...

if he's struck Blind because a 'dark & Gritty' Dazzler uses her powers to close to his face should Stevie Wonder be hired to be covered in Purple CGI?

If Thanos drops a planet on his feet do you put out the casting call for paraplegic actors?

Totally out of this world!

I totally hear ya bud. Actors play other people. It's kind of the definition of acting

Seriously. People think they are changing the world through comments on a website where we are all trying to make each other laugh. It's all good. I still laugh at everything ;)
