The Irony Of Hunter Schafer - Trans Actor

The Brown Note

Trans actor Hunter Schafer - most famous for the TV show Euphoria - has come out and stated she no longer wants to play trans roles and that's all she gets offered. It feels like a watershed moment that hasn't quite hit yet. A look at the numerous elements around what roles, what actors are allowed to play, including the impact of only allowing trans actors to play trans roles - which I went through a couple of years back on another post - combined with the hypocrisy of celebrating the recasting of other roles, based on gender, race or sexuality, but only if it's the right way round.
