I'd of course personally prefer someone who is trans to portray such a roll but I don't have much of a problem with either, again as long as that cis person is educated on the experience of trans people

Lol

That s*** is so weird man. It's her job to act like someone else

Slavery is very much still a thing today. Prison industrial complex, s***traffic workers, to slavery in Libya. So you can find a slave if you want.

We are starting to have trans actors portray cisgendered roles, why is the opposite a no go?

who cares lol

And “it” she was referring to the story. Not the actual human being

I personally don’t care who plays what as long as they take the role seriously

Lmao I was just watching a Bill Burr special and he had a joke about this

Prisoners aren’t slaves man

Her reference of 'it' is to the story stg bunch of incomprehensible idiots on twitter

Movies could potentially never see the light of day if stuff like this keeps happening.

...

“It’s a female story... it changes to a man”

Suggests to me that the “it” here is the story and not the person necessarily. Either way, poor choice of words.

Edit: already been said lol so disregard

Not comparable to the black slaves of America and you know this. It’s not the same experience at all.

Fam have you actually ever watched a documentary or did any research into the prison industrial complex?

Prison labor is slave labor.

Yes I have and it’s not comparable to what black people went through in the 1800s as slaves

Fam that doesn’t change the fact that it’s slavery. The s*** slaves in Libya are going through isn’t comparable to the work load African slaves went through, but they’re still slaves.

Then they don’t know the African American slave experience that’s my point

Y’all really think this is because she's not transgender? This story is about a trans man. Halle went on the interview and addressed the character as "she" multiple times and expressed how much she wanted to tell the woman's side of the story, to paraphrase. If you don't get why trans people are upset about that then

If you’re making a movie with a transgender character but it’s not important to you for that character to be played by a transgender person, you don’t need to be making a movie with a transgender character in it.

i mean she def meant “it” in reference to the story, not the gender itself. kinda feel like whoever tweeted that knew that and was just pushing their agenda

or maybe they’re just ed idk

Exactly lmao. People really think slavery ceased to exist after the emancipation proclamation
