I've made this point in a few interviews, but never on Twitter, so let me lay it out. Reasons not to have cis men play trans women:
I auditioned for this. I told them they shouldn't have a cis man play a trans woman. They didn't care.https://twitter.com/transhollywood/status/769832160719015936 …

First, there's the practical/economic one. It denies actual trans women opportunities, jobs, resources, which hurts entire community.

Back to the point. WHY do men, who aren't attracted to men, who only date women, think being with trans women makes them gay/less masculine?

Patriarchal stupidity I think

@transhollywood@MattBomer@MarkRuffalo@TGIsaac it also perpetuates the harmful notion that being trans is only a performanceThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I really liked this thread up until this. As if gendered violence is the sole domain of black and latinx men. Nah.
@SmartAssJen -
Black/latinx men don't have some kind of exclusive "issue" with masculinity. Saying they do perpetuates a racist stereotype.
