Title: ScarJo reteams with GitS director for something else ill-conceived
Reason: User warned: dismissive and insulting commentary
Pretty much this. Stop being dumb. Actors make a living pretending, it's what they do. A Scarlett Johansson led film is going to do more for exposing people to the idea of transgender folk than actually casting a transgender actor in this climate. If the role were given to a transgender actor the funding would be substantially cut and it probably wouldn't hit theaters. It'd be direct to DVD or a festival film. Instead of bitching about this (which might only serve to get Hollywood to stop telling LGBTQ stories altogether), just recognize that progress is being made. Not much, granted, but at least representation is happening.
