Okay. I disagree. I don’t really mind natal women playing trans women that much, though I would prefer a trans woman have the role given how few their are. However I will always strenuously object to men playing trans women.

Have you seen bad portrayals? I keep meaning to watch The Danish Girl on Netflix, but I heard Eddie Redmayne did a good job in that role.

I mean the very fact it’s a cis man makes it a bad portrayal. I had less issue with a Redmayne since he seemed to at least have talked to a lot of trans women and didn’t look like a bad joke. But honestly take your pic. Recently Matt Bomer in anything was absolutely appalling and Jared Leto in Dallas Buyers club was absolutely unbearable.

Is it just that they're non-passing, or did you think the actors themselves took it as a joke?
