i’m honestly so mad rn i can’t…. 

well at least directors are being open about their transphobia now

Is this for real? If so, fuck that movie. And to think I was excited.

:/

If anyone defending this look at what your defending shut up

The source interview is over here in case anyone wants that instead. It continues:

Dellal stands by her decision to cast a cisgender actress in a trans role. For one, she says, the part is for someone who hasn’t yet transitioned. The director uses female pronouns when discussing Ray. “The part is a girl and she is a girl who is presenting in a very ineffectual way as a boy,” Dellal explains.

“She’s not pretending to have a deeper voice. She’s just a girl who is being herself and is chasing the opportunity to start hormone treatment. So to actually use a trans boy was not an option because this isn’t what my story is about,” she says.

Then there was the need to cast name actors to get the movie bankrolled. “I would never discriminate against a trans kid or actor coming up to audition, but in this day and age in cinema, where it’s almost impossible to raise the financing, unfortunately we have to have some people that mean a certain amount of money,” she says. Fanning is just one of the big names starring in the film. Naomi Watts plays Ray’s mother, while Susan Sarandon plays Ray’s lesbian grandmother.

which is basically “until you pass you’re not trans / even worthy of correct pronouns”

“For one, she says, the part is for someone who hasn’t yet transitioned.”

does this person think that pre-transition trans boys and men don’t… exist?
