Well yes I think it's safe to assume that Russell T Davies wanted a trans person in the role, since he takes every opportunity he can get to boost LGB and TQ+ actors, but that doesn't mean the actor is terrible any more than his casting of all gay actors in It's A Sin meant they were bad actors (because they absolutely were not).

As a gay man I'm just very wary of saying that simply including a trans actor/character is pushing an agenda. I will reserve judgment until I've seen the show.
