Obviously it's miles better that Jake was played by an NB actor on testosterone than a cis woman, but why would just an actor being trans mean trans men were represented? I wouldn't want a trans woman playing a trans man either.
If you care about the actor's life experience, the life experience of an NB person isn't closer to that of a trans man than a cis man. If you care about optics for interviews & red carpet, they/them pronouns for the actor gives a subtle message that Jake wasn't really a guy.
All I care about, personally, is the latter. Every time that actor does press, every time they appear in public, their pronouns will undermine the gender of their character, the same way having a cis woman do press would (although obviously not as bad). That's fucked up!
A stereotype about trans masc ppl is we're an interchangeable mishmash of confused kids following trends. They/them, he/him, who can keep up- we change pronouns every few weeks anyway. Casting an AFAB NB to play a trans man reinforces that stereotype.
