    "I was making a huge mistake around trans politics by having a cis man play a trans woman," says "Transparent" creator Jill Soloway, on casting Jeffery Tambor to play a trans woman on the show.https://n.pr/2yrnF4k

        How dare Jeffrey Hunter play Jesus in King of Kings (1960). Jesus should only be portrayed by Jesus. Why wasn’t a real snowman hired for the lead in Jack Frost? Jesus and snowmen have a hard enough time just finding roles at all.

        Ah yes, because an individual is the same thing as a characteristic of an individual 🙄

        People won’t truly be equal until color and gender are irrelevant.

        Being colorblind isn’t the answer. That basically allows people to ignore other cultures and diversity by trying to “even the playing field”. Differences don’t have to be dividing, we should celebrate them

        I see your point, and I do think people should be able to maintain their culture. But I don’t think the two concepts are mutually exclusive.

        Disappointed by this. Loved the show. Loved Tambor’s acting and that of the whole ensemble.

        You’re disappointed? What about the transwomen actors who could have played that role? You pick weird things to be disappointed about.

        How is this news? How many americans does this concern? 3%? This is how the right discredits you as elitist bullhorn. Good grief stick to real news.

        What a concept. Take someone who is not and let them transform themselves into the role as an ACTOR. no, let’s pick someone who already is so they can memorize the lines and read them back as themselves. Liberals are so fkn stupid it’s mind numbing .

        And it’s called “acting”...people pretending to be something they’re not.

        So f ing stupid. An actor/actress is supposed to act, not live like the characters they play. Omg, I have to point this out , Jesus Christ people get a grip of reality for once and stop playing identity politics . That's what got us here , remember 2016? And yet u continue
