    • @femmefuntime
      @femmefuntime Před 4 lety +188

      Subspace Firebyrd the problem with casting cis men to play trans women and cis women to play trans men is that it encourages the belief that trans women are men and that trans men are women. (And when transphobic beliefs are encouraged it hurts trans people, whether that’s through unfair treatment, bigoted legislation, or outright violent attacks)

      Yes, we need to protect trans rights but we must also make decisions with the right motivations.

      Putting aside the fact that acting is entirely based around people pretending to be other people, the argument for only trans actors play trans roles is a poor one. The movie either won’t be made or won’t be seen. With Eddie playing the role, the movie will be a big hit, seen by millions, allowing the trans story to be told and brought to the masses. This is not a fight that is worthwhile.

He portrayed the character very well and I was very captivated by his performance despite watching him for the first time. I agree on him for the needs of the trans people itself telling their own story and represent the community. But personally, I think he did justice to the character. Watching this video made me realized at how sweet and genuine he is. I wish him all the best in his future works and I’ll be looking forward to it too.

    I’m so very glad to hear him directly addressing the less than ideal fact of his being cast for the role of Lili as opposed to a trans actress; I think that he brought a lot of integrity to the role and the fact that he was cast probably did make the film more widely received than it might otherwise have been. But I am very grateful to him for acknowledging the sensitivity of the situation and recognizing his privilege within the system.

    • @averyprofessionalmieke
      @averyprofessionalmieke Před 5 lety +78

      @TAYLOR BELL that's not the point. this is actually a widely known problem since a lot of film makers pick cis actors instead of trans actors because they "don't look trans enough," which is extremely transphobic and stupid. I personally love that he got cast because he portrayed the character so brilliantly - like all his characters - and since the whole transition, beginning with Lilly having a male body, is portrayed, it does make sense to cast a male actor. BUT it's very important to addresses the issue and I love that he did because, as I said, a lot of film makers are quite disrespectful about this, if not necessarily intentionally, and aren't giving real trans people the representation they deserve.

I think he really knew the importance of the role and he did it fantastic justice. I'm proud of him for aknowleding in this that it might not have been his place to play that role, but theres no going back. He did it and as a result a conversation began that led to trans roles being played by trans people now, so maybe it was meant to happen.
