Trans Actor Wants to Play Roles for Actual Women

Well, is n’t this something?

Some professional I have never heard of named Michaela Jae Rodriguez, who is transgender, just said he wants to play characters who are” cis”. They do n’t delude themselves into thinking they are the other sex, which means they are “normal.”

In other words, he really wants to get paid for doing what he is currently doing by being transgender, which is playing a character, except he refuses to break ( not even after the DVD criticism. Have your heart out, Kirk Lazarus! ).

According to Rodriguez,” I think what we’re working toward right now is more organization and more open area for trans accents and trans people,” according to Rodriguez.” We’re evidently having more parts and have more room to show different types of characters, just like any other man on this planet,” Rodriguez said.

I may at least comprehend the idea of playing the same kind of character without wanting to get typecast. This professional originally stated in 2018 that he wanted to challenge himself as an professional by playing roles intended for real women, and the way he frames it only makes it funnier:”…

” We understand the experience of a person”.

” We” being Rodriguez and some other transgender actor named Indya Moore, who helpfully added that the inverse of” cis” actors portraying transgender characters is not allowed because… reasons, of course.

” Gender is a social construct, but so is race, and that still does n’t make it okay for white women to play Asian women. It still does n’t make it okay for cis people to play trans people”, said Moore in that same 2018 interview with MTV.

I think there is a purpose why “hypocrite” is Greek for “actor”.

But you know what?

I am cool with this. After all, men played women on stage for much of history, so if anything, Rodriguez and Moore just want to keep the tradition alive ( hooray for patriarchy! )

In fact, let’s go a step further: Why do n’t we get some remakes of classic films with all-transgender casts to remove all the problematic aspects?

Why does n’t” Breakfast at Tiffany’s” have Rodriguez as the beautiful and valiant actress who takes on the weak cisgendered Audrey Hepburn? What woman would n’t love to see their trans sisters facing the struggles of high school girls in” Mean Girls” or” Heathers”? Would n’t” The Notebook” be so much better if Allie was a trans woman?

Or, to make matters worse, how about Elliot Page playing” Dirty” Harry Callahan himself in a copy of the film? Trans people ought to be permitted to play the same functions as cis men do. In a copy of” First Blood,” come see a  wif with a gentle face flee from Vietnam and engage in a frenzy in a small Washington state area. A trio of transgender people could surely enjoy Wyatt, Morgan, Virgil Earp, and Doc Holliday in a copy of” Tombstone” much better than Kurt Russell, Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton, and Val Kilmer had, right?

After all, transgender women are women! Trans men are men! Biology means everything!

But really, have you ever noticed it is always fellas in gowns pulling this thing? You never see the “men” who are medically sexual clamoring for the same treatment as transgender “women” clamoring for the same treatment as men do for people.

But what do I hear?
