Also of note: 'The Crying Game' and 'Some Like It Hot.' Didn't actor Tom Hanks get his start dressing as a woman in some TV Sitcom? This Gender-Bending has been around since the Greeks put on plays!
Gill was a woman acting as a man. Scarlett will be a woman portraying a woman portraying a man.
But aren't Trace and Jamie both men who want to portray a woman portraying a man?! What is the acting part.? Julie Andrews was great in "Victor. /Victoria "
Some activist folks in the acting community seem upset that some actors are being paid to pretend to be something they aren’t.
What a scandal! [/s]
Trans men are running in female athletic events and winning.
A trans man just won Miss Spain.
Turnabout is fair play in the land of insanity.
That would seem to be quite reasonable, right? The role of a woman impersonating a man would be played by a woman, who would impersonate a man.
I guess the counterargument is that "trans-" are all the same, regardless of the rest of the word.
And... where do all of these, er... people stand on roles in the Transformer movies?
Cat fight amongst pussies pretending to be dogs
Time to remake Victor Victoria?
The important question is, will Scarlet be wearing a black leather cat-suit? She’ll have a hard time passing as a dude.
I know what Red Gill looked like as she was a Pittsburgh crime boss. She was large. https://newsinteractive.post-gazette.com/thedigs/2014/02/17/the-complex-and-tough-dante-tex-gill/
Funny, I didn’t hear all this outrage when a black actor was chosen to portray a Norse god.
OMG!!! Is supposed to be about acting are is supposed to be about hiring human real life total examples of the characters so that no acting need be involved - they are what they represent???
On the “diversity” theory of acting, rapists, murdererers, theives and the rest need to be recruited to play themselves in movies and plays, lest the producers be charged with “discrimination and lack of ‘diversity’ “.

Is there anything worthwhile to this story other than it being about a ‘trans’ person?
I don’t know if this is fully relevant to the topic here, but a couple of days ago or so, I came across (while channel surfing) a rerun of a 1983 episode of “Remington Steele”. The storyline was still reasonably engaging, even if it was about 35 years old, and I also certainly do not mind on occasion nowadays a session with Stephanie Zimbalist as she was one of my TV favourites back then.
But I could not help but think to myself as I was watching that it was hard to believe even back then that Hollywood could still produce something watchable and have that reasonable amount of sanity to it, compared to what goes on nowadays with constant LGBTQ or transgender or transracial or other related nonsense.
P.S. The episode I watched was “Steele Among the Living” (if anyone is interested).
Scarlett Johansson I’ve heard of... The rest? Nope.
Doesn’t matter as I won’t be seeing the movie.
It’s about a hood who ran massage parlors, and was a woman who thought she was a man. Can’t wait to take the wife and kids to that one.
Hollywood has had no problem with this in the past. Several actors have been nominated for/won Oscars and Emmys for playing transgender characters.
Homosexuals are mentally ill and people should never, ever tolerate them or give in to them.
