Enough with the excuses. Hire a trans actor. It is 2018 and we are still doing this? Seriously just do better.

Trans people are tired of being erased from their own stories. Cast someone who actually lives this experience.

There are many talented trans-people who can play this part. Pick one!

Hi. I'm transnonbinary, and our visibility is even more nonexistant -- ScarJo, you gotta drop this role and give trans actors a chance to shine. They don't even have to method act! I'm really disappointed in the director for his casting choice and in you for taking the opportunity from someone who can represent it more authentically.

Not only does this take away opportunities from actual trans actors, it also sends a message to the world that trans men are really women. They're not. Trans men are men.
It's also not about the "best" actor, it's about the right one. There are tons of right actors who never get opportunities, in large part because of stuff like this.

I am cis and I stand with all of the people who demand respect and equal representation. Scarlett Johanssen is a wonderful actor, but she's not for every role. This is not her role. Do the story a favor and cast appropriately. It will speak in volumes.
