A woman is not allowed to portray a woman who pretends to be a man. Is a man allowed to play the part since trans men are supposed to be the same as men?

It also stars Linda Hunt as the male dwarf Billy Kwan, Hamilton’s local photographer contact, a role for which Hunt won the 1983 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
