      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 other way how? Having a cis woman play a trans woman? That has in fact happened a bunch of times

      Also, old school sitcoms going for the trans panic narrative usually did so by casting a cis woman of above average height as the trans woman The infamous IT Crowd episode by Glinner did this

      See, also, the 2004 CSI episode where Lindsay Crouse (y'all know her from Buffy) played their villainous trans woman.

      Lisa Edelstein had a recurring role as a trans woman on Ally McBeal, which is why on House there's this running gag about House spreading a rumor that the reason Cuddy is infertile and trying to adopt is that she's trans

      I watched a fuckton of House because I'm an easy lay for any kind of Sherlock Holmes pastiche. But the regularity with which it indulged in casual transphobia for the sake of a cheap laugh or shock value derails what would otherwise be perfectly adequate junk food TV.

      Well, I mean, he's transphobic once in a while and he's sexist and racist in every episode

          I had the phrase "(among other things)" in the original version of that tweet, then I rephrased it and forgot to put that back in.

          Sexism, transphobia, and racism, you see, are the price we pay for a magical doctor who never loses a patient unless doing so furthers his downward spiral into greater and more telegenic nihilism.
