Honestly this is just getting confusing. We keep saying how it's important that you cast a person with the right demographic fitting person. Now they're saying a demographics don't matter anymore. I'm sorry but what is it. You can't have it both ways.
1. Individuals can have different views from a group. 2. An individual can decide what applies to THEM. If she doesnt want to be viewed through a trans lens, that's her choice to be respected. 3. The issue is not that "cis people shouldnt play trans" just because it's "offensive" or something. It's because trans people don't get cast in non-trans roles or hired in non-trans projects. So a non-trans person taking a role that is the only one trans people DO get offered to play... sucks. 4. Only offering trans roles to trans people instead of non-trans roles is part of the same problem, so it isnt double standards at all. It's ridiculous to say trans people can only play trans people. It's implying they aren't "real" men or women. In fact, if people started offering non-trans roles to trans people, we wouldn't have to be offended by non-trans people being hired to play trans roles anymore. Because they wouldn't be "stealing a role" anymore.

I think what she’s saying is that she can play a trans character, but does not want that to be the focus. Like the movie just so happens to have someone who is trans. The audience knows it, but it’s not the plot. Imagine a gay character being in a show. We the audience know they are obviously gay, but the show/movie is not romance so there’s no need to delve deep into the characters sexuality.
Actors can choose their jobs, you should know Hunter is a human being able to choose but clearly you don't, are you hurt by her playing woman? Because I know she would be if she couldn't. One less person hurt this way jerk
They don’t have a uterus . Not a women… and let me have to edit this for all the hysterectomy argument . Obviously they had surgery and had one before . Yes this isn’t the major factor , chromosomes would be as well. An adult female !

@@CLARKE176 that is so stupid compared to what would happen the other way around, you might as well say she's stealing men from women too. And the delusion right here is thinking that any project that would cast her as a cis-woman would cast a woman who doesn't support trans people, if Hunter wasn't around. If someone casts her they cast her, and I'm sure you wouldn't want your precious women in such a woke environment anyways, if she doesn't get cast then she doesn't get cast and good for you, I can't tell the future. But between that and having her live out her one life not being able to recognize herself in the mirror, I'm gonna support the only person who can get hurt in this argument
As a trans woman, I agree wholeheartedly. You don't want people to think of you for being trans but rather a lady first. Being able to get female roles and succeeding in them acting wise is truly the end game for her with her journey.
No hate towards Trans but that's deceptive. There is a very strong distinction between a woman and a Trans woman. Inside and outside of acting, in friendships and especially romantic situations, it very much so needs to be put out in the open.
Why are we ignoring biology? What are their chromosomes? So, if straight people are cant play trans roles and trans people dont want to play trans roles, who the hell is supposed to play them?
It’s like when Maddie Ziegler played an autistic person and she got back lash for it because they should’ve hired a autistic person. Trans people are the minority and giving roles that are for trans character to trans people, offers a more effective acting because the trans person knows what it’s like to be trans. But only playing a trans character is very limited and there not enough movies that have trans characters in it, and even if they did their rarely ever leading characters. Hunter is clearly a person to play a leading character, so she should be able to explore woman role as she is a woman. Again, cisgender people already have a bunch of roles for them to play and there’s really not that many trans roles that they’d be missing out on anyways, nor do I think they would want to play those roles.
One the video displays it wrong Schafer said she didn’t want the trans part being the characters whole storyline not that she wouldn’t play a trans character, two Cis women can have XY and Cis Men can have XX and unless there are major health concerns nobody is doing chromosomal testing, also straight people? Do you think every gay person is trans?
“Why are we ignoring biology?” You say spewing the 3 things you remember after watching the daily wire while having no knowledge in the biological field, and science. Chromosomes = sex in humans, gender; a linguistic and societal construct. Also if you didn’t know there’s 3 possible biological human sexes.

Why is Jared playing a trans person a problem? Trans women used to be men...so isn't it logical that a man is portraying a male character who decides they want to become a woman? Sometimes people do overthinking too much.
@@martialartist467 I’m not raging, I’m not angry but in reality it is a fact. Sure is there someone out there that may give him that chance, probably, but on average the majority of directors, casting producers ect is not hiring this individual to play a natural born woman, unless we under go some type of women shortage. This is the mindset of the majority, at least for men and since most movies are made by men, they are definitely not gone hire this individual. Maybe a women but even they I would imagine a lot would be uncomfortable with the whole idea.

@@vismayavijoy4818 Not to sound accusing but you're kinda sounding transphobic and I really don't think its a good idea to say those things. I know its a fact but Hunter is a woman even if she wasn't one before.
I believe that she should be allowed to play any role she's cast in, but on the flip side I believe that anyone should be allowed to play any role period. I can guarantee that they people who complained about things like the Jared Leto role won't keep that energy in the other direction.
Lmao nobody is being misogynistic. Trans people are one of the most marginalized and hated minorities so this doesnt even make sense. Stop tryna act like you care about women or are worried for them whenever trans women are brought up. You're not doing what you're doing and everyone can see right through it.
What an advocate, you know actual feminists get fucked off for saying things are misogynistic right? Do you have a favorite movie franchise because I want to ask a follow up question(don't worry It'll be fun)
I just wish we would stop limiting art or expression for socio-political talking points Hunter should play the roles she wants because she is talented and deserves it I feel the same about any actor or actress.
Did she say she won’t play any trans characters or she just doesn't want to be limited to explicitly trans characters? She passes very well (I get that statements about passing are problematic, but I’m speaking facts), so that works for her. If she just plays women and it’s never mentioned or relevant to the plot of character whether they’re cis or trans, that’s fine. If a trans woman who does not pass as a biological female gets cast to play a pregnant woman, you’re asking too much from my suspension of disbelief.
I don’t care if she wants to play female roles. I just don’t really appreciate the inconsistency of telling cis people they can’t play trans roles. It should be about what actor is best for the part.
Yeah, but here's the problem with that. What are the chances a transgender "woman" is going to be cast when there's plenty of actual women looking for a gig?
@@oliverjames2655 Keep in mind this person is heavily brainwashed and as I have noted with this crowd tend to have other underlying mental illnesses they find scapegoats for in reactionary ways lashing out about X or Y.

@@oliverjames2655 no he's actually right, they said trans roles should be played by trans actors and now that they're only getting casted as trans characters they don't want to be boxed in.
Correct. Considering she was born a woman. Trans people are born with their gender identity. Trans women are born women. Trans men are born men. Gender and sex are separate concepts and always have been. Trans people don't "change their gender" when they transition. Transitioning is just making ones body match their identity and being public about being gender incongruent. They were always that gender.
@@dillinpicklesworth5698 Bro that’s not how it works. Do you not understand the concept of gender identity? Or do you just not care? Because you might need a lesson on what it means to be transgender. Which is sad because you should be old enough to know the difference.
As long as she's being hired because she fits the role and not because of "diversity hires", I don't have an issue with this. Unfortunately I have a hunch Hollywood will choose the latter reasoning rather than whether Hunter is qualified to play whatever character she auditions for
@LilacSreya no normal woman or man would ever date HIM. or IT if you prefer. It has nothing to do with the gender they think they are. It has everything to do with the therapy they obviously need.
Wait, how dare she demand she play the roles of Normal women and take away their roles? Would she and her peers be ok with Normal women taking trans roles?
first of all there, are a lot more cis women in hollywood than trans women so i doubt she’d be able to take away all of their roles. and second of all, im trans and personally i don’t mind when cis actors play trans characters. in fact one of my favourite movies is the danish girl, in which eddie redmayne a cis man plays a trans woman and does a fantastic job. there’s nothing wrong with cis people playing trans people so long as they do a good job i guess.
@gentl3manly of course, none of them would want that role. At the start of movie, he was seen as a man that he was. That would shatter the fantasy. I heard that they want to off themselves when you brake the fantasy. Scarlet Johnson, on the other hand, dropped a role because of the backlash.
As an otherwise gender critical gay dude, I'll be honest, I'll respect Hunter for this because this sort of thing is what turned me against the trans community to begin with, basing your entire existence on being trans and everything to do with it, so this actually a good thing Hunter said. I think Hunter is genuinely one of the few who can build a bridge between the trans community and the rest of us. All the trans people need to do now is, this is all that bothers me, stop putting homosexuality and being trans together thinking our respective issues are remotely the same and I'll feel better about their reasoning. Even if the gays have given them a loophole on a few things, comparing our struggles and putting them in the same box doesn’t sit well with me. Our stuff is just sexuality, theirs is identity...you see the difference?
I think that’s perfectly fine and valid, but I don’t want to hear anymore “how could a cis person play a trans person” type shit than. Cause I agree a trans woman should be able to play a cis woman, because she’s just as much of a woman. But, cis woman should be able to play trans woman than, because if trans woman are just as much of a woman (which I agree with), there should be no problem with a cis woman playing just another type of woman. Especially, when it’s hard to get an actual trans actor to play a trans character, especially if trans actors don’t even want to keep playing trans roles, which again I think is valid.
I hate people who make trans their ENTIRE personality. That’s the problem with todays so called “trans” people. Being trans is all they can talk about, either that or complaining lol Anyways Good for her for focusing on who she is …..AN ACTRESS. Simple.
Damn u really think you know more than every medical, psychological, and biology association lol. You do know that it's biologists that research transness and are of the consensus that being trans is valid right? You do know it was biologists that conceived the term "gender" to refer to ones internal identity right?
@@Drew-56949 It's not up for debate. Hunter Schafer is an adult human male, i.e., a man, simply as a matter of fact and as a matter of the standard definition of the word "man". The fact that he superficially _looks_ like a woman doesn't change what he _is._ Appearances can be deceptive.
@omp199 I disagree. If she wants to be referred as a woman, looks like a woman, then thats enough for me to refer her that way. Not my business whats between someones legs. Just basic human decency. Dont know why that bothers you so much.
How is it unfair that she can play both transgender and cis gender roles but Ion hear ya’ll bitching when cis people play trans roles, and even roles that villified trans people. Hunter can take whatever roles she wants to take, its up to her on how she wants to manage her career and her life.
@@freedomwriter9688 he’s a dude. Stop saying she. No amount of plastic surgery or coddling will change that. I refuse to participate in these people’s delusions.
Hell yeah, let her do non trans roles, if she's good she can play anyone. The same for non trans actors, let them play whoever the fuck they want. This is art why do we put constraints on it? I understand if we have a historical figure or a preexisting character for example for a book adaptation, then yeah we should probably try to mimic them as close as possible either to keep historical accuracy as high as possible or to respect the choices of the original creator of the character, but other then that, who the fuck cares.
She didn't say that she wont play transgender roles. She just said that she didn't want her being trans to be "the centerpiece to what I’m doing". So the characters that she plays can be trans but she just doesn't want that to be the main focus of the characters storylines.

If someone casts her they cast her, and I'm sure you wouldn't want your precious women in such a woke environment anyways, if she doesn't get cast then she doesn't get cast and good for you, I can't tell the future. But between that and having her live out her one life not being able to recognize herself in the mirror, I'm gonna support the only person who can get hurt in this argument

It sounds to me that Hunter Schafer does not want to be remembered for SOLELY playing transgender characters.
As a trans woman, I agree wholeheartedly.
You don't want people to think of you for being trans but rather a lady first. Being able to get female roles and succeeding in them acting wise is truly the end game for her with her journey.
Sorry..... a cis man playing a trans woman was wrong? Well for the same reasons a trans woman playing a cis woman is wrong. Stick to trans characters.
No hate towards Trans but that's deceptive. There is a very strong distinction between a woman and a Trans woman. Inside and outside of acting, in friendships and especially romantic situations, it very much so needs to be put out in the open.

Why are we ignoring biology? What are their chromosomes?
So, if straight people are cant play trans roles and trans people dont want to play trans roles, who the hell is supposed to play them?
"straight people are cant" is not grammatically correct, I'm afraid.
It’s like when Maddie Ziegler played an autistic person and she got back lash for it because they should’ve hired a autistic person. Trans people are the minority and giving roles that are for trans character to trans people, offers a more effective acting because the trans person knows what it’s like to be trans. But only playing a trans character is very limited and there not enough movies that have trans characters in it, and even if they did their rarely ever leading characters. Hunter is clearly a person to play a leading character, so she should be able to explore woman role as she is a woman. Again, cisgender people already have a bunch of roles for them to play and there’s really not that many trans roles that they’d be missing out on anyways, nor do I think they would want to play those roles.
@@kd9085 finally someone who isn't transphobic lmao
One the video displays it wrong Schafer said she didn’t want the trans part being the characters whole storyline not that she wouldn’t play a trans character, two Cis women can have XY and Cis Men can have XX and unless there are major health concerns nobody is doing chromosomal testing, also straight people? Do you think every gay person is trans?
“Why are we ignoring biology?” You say spewing the 3 things you remember after watching the daily wire while having no knowledge in the biological field, and science. Chromosomes = sex in humans, gender; a linguistic and societal construct. Also if you didn’t know there’s 3 possible biological human sexes.

@@martialartist467 I’m not raging, I’m not angry but in reality it is a fact. Sure is there someone out there that may give him that chance, probably, but on average the majority of directors, casting producers ect is not hiring this individual to play a natural born woman, unless we under go some type of women shortage. This is the mindset of the majority, at least for men and since most movies are made by men, they are definitely not gone hire this individual.

Actors play whatever is needed of the job. It's art, not real life mirroring.
I believe that she should be allowed to play any role she's cast in, but on the flip side I believe that anyone should be allowed to play any role period. I can guarantee that they people who complained about things like the Jared Leto role won't keep that energy in the other direction.
So he wants to take roles away from women? That's very misogynistic.
The patriarchy is always winning.
Lmao nobody is being misogynistic. Trans people are one of the most marginalized and hated minorities so this doesnt even make sense. Stop tryna act like you care about women or are worried for them whenever trans women are brought up. You're not doing what you're doing and everyone can see right through it.
She*, despite your bigoted beliefs, at this point she is a woman. Probably more attractive than your significant other too
What an advocate, you know actual feminists get fucked off for saying things are misogynistic right? Do you have a favorite movie franchise because I want to ask a follow up question(don't worry It'll be fun)
the are plenty of roles for cis women in hollywood don’t be so pathetic
Dude has big balls.
I just wish we would stop limiting art or expression for socio-political talking points Hunter should play the roles she wants because she is talented and deserves it I feel the same about any actor or actress.
Did she say she won’t play any trans characters or she just doesn't want to be limited to explicitly trans characters? She passes very well (I get that statements about passing are problematic, but I’m speaking facts), so that works for her. If she just plays women and it’s never mentioned or relevant to the plot of character whether they’re cis or trans, that’s fine. If a trans woman who does not pass as a biological female gets cast to play a pregnant woman, you’re asking too much from my suspension of disbelief.
I don’t care if she wants to play female roles. I just don’t really appreciate the inconsistency of telling cis people they can’t play trans roles. It should be about what actor is best for the part.
Yeah, because im pretty sure everyone wants to watch a dude play true female roles.

Correct. Considering she was born a woman. Trans people are born with their gender identity. Trans women are born women. Trans men are born men. Gender and sex are separate concepts and always have been. Trans people don't "change their gender" when they transition. Transitioning is just making ones body match their identity and being public about being gender incongruent. They were always that gender.
She can do that, which means anyone with acting talent can play a transgender person, without receiving backlash.

Wait, how dare she demand she play the roles of Normal women and take away their roles?
Would she and her peers be ok with Normal women taking trans roles?
first of all there, are a lot more cis women in hollywood than trans women so i doubt she’d be able to take away all of their roles. and second of all, im trans and personally i don’t mind when cis actors play trans characters. in fact one of my favourite movies is the danish girl, in which eddie redmayne a cis man plays a trans woman and does a fantastic job. there’s nothing wrong with cis people playing trans people so long as they do a good job i guess.
@gentl3manly of course, none of them would want that role. At the start of movie, he was seen as a man that he was. That would shatter the fantasy. I heard that they want to off themselves when you brake the fantasy.

As an otherwise gender critical gay dude, I'll be honest, I'll respect Hunter for this because this sort of thing is what turned me against the trans community to begin with, basing your entire existence on being trans and everything to do with it, so this actually a good thing Hunter said. I think Hunter is genuinely one of the few who can build a bridge between the trans community and the rest of us.
All the trans people need to do now is, this is all that bothers me, stop putting homosexuality and being trans together thinking our respective issues are remotely the same and I'll feel better about their reasoning. Even if the gays have given them a loophole on a few things, comparing our struggles and putting them in the same box doesn’t sit well with me. Our stuff is just sexuality, theirs is identity...you see the difference?
I think that’s perfectly fine and valid, but I don’t want to hear anymore “how could a cis person play a trans person” type shit than. Cause I agree a trans woman should be able to play a cis woman, because she’s just as much of a woman. But, cis woman should be able to play trans woman than, because if trans woman are just as much of a woman (which I agree with), there should be no problem with a cis woman playing just another type of woman. Especially, when it’s hard to get an actual trans actor to play a trans character, especially if trans actors don’t even want to keep playing trans roles, which again I think is valid.
