Especially given how he has handled interactions with actual trans women, I would suggest a recast. nowhttps://twitter.com/MarkRuffalo/status/771102840823701504 …
The movie is already shot and Matt poured his heart and soul into this part. Please have a little compassion. We are all learning.

"We are all learning" thing reminds me of when my Dad calls me by my old name A DECADE POST-TRANSITION & "apologises".

People just don't want to change. For those of us that call ourselves "progressive", that's an unforgivable trait

-
I think's he unblocked some people

I'll bake him a cake ;) (and then eat it)
