TX school bans trans boy from playing "Oklahoma!" male lead, recasts with cisgender male student
Max Hightower, 17, had won the coveted role of Curly, but his school enacted a new anti-trans policy for this play
You're viewing part of a thread.
Okay and? Assuming that's you saying you're trans. Again, not all trans people are passing, take hormones, or corrective surgery. + There are plenty of non-permanent alternatives that a cis person could use. One of my best friends wears breast forms for example.
Historically, trans woman characters have been played by men.

fuck off. The majority of trans women are physiologically different from men; the majority of actors who have played trans women are men. That's fucked.
Where did I say "But not all" anywhere???
The majority of trans women are physiologically different from men;
What does this mean?? Are you talking about brain wise? Because that doesn't matter, for an actor, it's not visual. If you're talking about affirmative care wise, no.
"In 2015, the largest survey of transgender people in the United States reported that 25% of respondents reported having undergone such a surgery." And trans rates are notoriously undercounted so it's likely an even lower percentage.
Would it be just as wrong for a trans man, without affirming care to play a trans woman in your eyes?
What about a trans woman without affirming care?
You dingus. It means exactly what it means. The bodies, and face, of trans women are different from men. 98.61% of trans women in the US take HRT. HRT changes the body. How can you be this dense?
Plenty of cis men are not physically distinguishable than those on HRT. There are plenty of cis men with "feminine" fat distro, and thinner body hair.
The lengths you would go to to find such a rare person with such a rare endocrine disorder just so that you could avoid hiring a transwoman to play a transwoman.
