The simple fact that this would be a cis actor playing a trans character and that that would automatically launch a deserved backlash is why I never believed this, all the details of the story aside

I always wonder that when Hollywood casts cis actors to play trans characters, they virtually never cast a character of the person's actual gender, but instead, make a big show of how this cis man can play a trans woman. I wonder how reaction would go if it went the other way.

The shit from her doing press for that movie was on hindsight so much worse than the stuff they've done for cis guys All of her talk about method acting to seem more awkward and uncomfortable in your body
