Am I wrong for not wanting to watch movies/shows with trans actors?

Are we talking about the same person? I don't remember a character ever being acknowledged as trans?

I'm thinking of the "woman" with blonde hair who is the rival to the first female lead. Sorry - I've forgotten most of it - were there TWO trans actors?

OK, i Just looked it up and the actor I'm thinking of is Hari Nef who plays Blythe. Who was the other trans actor and what role did they play?

Or was Blythe the character you mean, and Blythe is a trans"woman" in the series with the series acknowledging that the character of Blythe is trans? If they did, I missed it. I thought the show was trying to pass him off as a woman.

No, I mean Blythe. I don't know if the character was ever explicitly acknowledged as trans, I just kind of assumed because it was this "woke" group of friends and I think I may have read an interview about it? I'm pretty sure Netflix counted that character toward their LGBT+ quota or whatever, and the character had a male love interest, so under the TRA orthodoxy that's a "straight" relationship. Also, the actor is just clearly trans. I never got the sense (unlike with the character on that period chess show drama-I stopped watching as soon as the trans actor showed up with that one) that the character was supposed to be anything other than trans. I could be wrong, though.

For me that character being trans just added to the overall aesthetic of the person being annoyingly woke/self-centered. Either way I wish we didn't have trans actors because I have a problem with the trans ideology in general, but that's another topic.

I don't think Blythe was acknowledged as trans and instead we were supposed to buy the character as a straight woman. That's what made it really irritating. The character was annoying to begin with, but to have to try to suspend disbelief every time he was in a scene really took me out of the show.

If that's the case, yeah, that would make it very hard for me to watch the show. Well, that season anyway, I'm not a fan of the current seasons.
