I think @MattBomer is great for this role & I'm trans. If he can play the role respectfully, which I know he can, I support him

The problem is that they are not telling our story. They are re-telling a cliche.

telling our story inaccurately costs lives. Our lives. How many transgender people killed so far in 2016?

Nice analysis Shane. Erica do U really think people that hate trans enough to kill will be

Yes I do. That is exactly my point. We need society to see trans women as women.

person play the role will not hasten the change at this stage in time, I can guarantee U.

he is not a woman. Trans women don't get suggested for Matt Bomer roles. This causes harm.

@dominickevans @MarkRuffalo how many well known Trans women actors are there?

? Stop harassing us to silence us. There are tons of trans women actors.

replying to a tweet isn't harassment. Don't be quick to play the victim.

you are replying to a lot of people's tweets without listening to their lived experience

I'm sick and tired of non-trans people trying to dictate what is right for our community

really? Because it sounds like you're dictating what's the correct approach.

This has no affect you… But the casting has a long-term negative affect on the trans community

It wouldn't make a difference. Acting is acting. Talent has impact. I wouldn't particularly care if it were a trans actor...

Who cares? If it were a trans actor, it'd be the same role and same story with a different face. Wouldn't change anything.

I wouldn't learn anything different if it were a trans actor instead of Matt. Like I said, it'd be the same role/story.
