I think people would be a lot less bothered about cis actors playing trans characters if trans actors could get work playing cis characters, but Hollywood does this thing where:

a) trans actors, when they do get work, only seem to get work as trans characters, and not just characters who happen to be trans but characters for whom being trans is the point of the character

and

b) like with any minority group there’s the Hollywood trap of “we don’t make movies with trans stars because there are no bankable trans stars because we don’t make movies with trans stars”

Also like, trans actors get regularly turned down for movie castings because they don't look like what producers are envisioning (which is usually more like someone in bad drag)

Sense8 did the first one but it was really good and also the big plotline revolving around her being trans got wrapped up a couple episodes in, in easily the best scene of the entire show

Also, you know, written by two trans women

I mean, Trump cannot be any worse than the guy who engineered a genocidal famine in India that was so bad that a lot of Indians now see the Nazis as the good guys because they were loving up Churchill's poo poo.

The thing about churchill is he did some things that weren't some of the worst crimes perpetrated by man. Ted Heath possibly is the most evil man of the 20th century.

a nice thing you can say about Winston Churchill is that he wasn’t directly responsible for the Holocaust. he was a physically different person than Hitler.

About the only thing Heath has over Thatcher is that he at least managed to muster enough disgust at Enoch Powell to sack him. Thatcher would still have given him a ministry if she could have.
