I love you and I don't have a dog in this fight because it's not my place to comment on but do you feel the same for every instance?

Maybe I'm off base but I always assumed things like Leto in Dallas Buyers Club and Redmayne in The Danish Girl where parts that highlighted the trans struggle and well recieved in and outside of the trans community. I'm absolutely for trans actors in trans roles but it's not always as simple as that for hollywood (it should be absolutely) but they need star power and to justify investment and sometimes it's the only way these stories reach mainstream attention and get that "reach" because a bigger actor is attatched.

I'm genuinly curious here and would like some elaboration for discussions sake

I will discuss on this that I see absolutely zero nuance for trans roles, vs the discussion of Gay/les/bi. We are at the point in time where we are in the path of genocide. Having a cis person play a trans person, no matter how much they study, can have any feel what a trans life is like.
