Hollywood cares about one thing: making money. Films about or starring transgender actors don't usually make money.

Transgenders should wear a cape, Edna. THAT would fix the problem.
To: EdnaMode
Now, if had a Transgender version of Young Frankenstein...I might be willing to sit and watch that.
To: EdnaMode
There is no such thing as a transgender. There are, however, mentally ill persons and they should be treated, not pandered to.

The Crying Game was an exception. But then again, it didn't come out of Hollywood.

Fifty First Dates had a great transgender part...
Could work well as a comic relief

Can somebody tell me what career Chaz Bono has had?
To: miss marmelstein
Can somebody tell me what career Chaz Bono has had? Political class victim. Yes, it's a career.

Don't they understand the concept of
acting?
We don't have to have actual superheroes to portray superheroes, or actual aliens to portray aliens.
To: EdnaMode
Hollywood discriminates against ugly.

Rock Hudson played a straight man.

I thought so. I hadn’t seen her in a big budget film or on B’way or collecting an Emmy in YEARS!
To: HangnJudge
Cross dressing was always comedy gold.
Many great comics did it.
It's funny because it's absurd (as are transgenders who want to be taken seriously).
To: EdnaMode
“Chaz” thinks that she’s suffering “discrimination” because few will date her.

There, fixed it

I agree.
If a man thinks he is a penguin, he is deemed mentally ill.
If a man thinks he is a cow, he is deemed mentally ill.
If a man thinks he is Napoleon, he is deemed mentally ill.
If a man thinks he is a woman, he is praised for being a hero and a roll model.
This is a very sick and twisted world the left is trying to force on normal people.

MRS DOUBTFIRE was comedy gold.
So was Tootsie
To: EdnaMode
I don’t care if someone with intact genitals plays the part of someone who had them chopped or reshaped. They are both insane.

The few people that want to pay money to watch freaky trannies already go to the drag queen bars. There aren’t enough of them to make a major motion picture profitable.
To: EdnaMode
The biggest casting travesty of them all....
