LGBTQIA+ on Yik Yak | hot take: if a trans character has had no hormone therapy or surgeries, then it’s fine for a cis actor to play them. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to find good trans actors who actually fit the bill.

as long as it's respectfully done i don't really have an issue with it either.

Yes like the squid game drama from a while back. There’s very few openly trans women in SK according to the creator and they literally could not find one. As long as the cis man plays their role well and respectfully I’ll have no issue with it

I would like to say though that my one mtf friend says this could be “transmedicalism” and that ppl don’t need medical intervention to be trans!

oh I know but trans actors who haven’t had any medical intervention have got to be a SUPER small pool to choose from. Thats what I meant by the last bit of my post
