The point of actors is that they act. It doesn't matter of they're trans or cis, they should be given roles that suit them.

The role should go to whoever is the most talented person. Looks also matter in acting, so an actor must look the part too. A talented actor will be able to play different roles. That is what acting is all about!

Also when we talk about cis actors playing trans characters, the actor is never the same gender as the character, which goes a long way towards the 'trans people aren't really the gender they identify as' story. We're not in Shakespearean times now, there's no need to gender swap

If they are the best actor for the role then yes. No one should ever get a role based on anything other than talent. Trans actors should get straight roles too.

1. No he wasn't. 2. They should be excluded because representation matters. Trans actors need to be allowed to represent our own community on film, rather than cis men. 3. Having cis men play trans women is harmful. It implies that trans women are really men.
