Actress Jen Richards explains the problem with casting cis actors in trans roles

Wait, are you worried that she wants culture to change and is attempting to do so? Or are you worried that she may succeed?
I’m not implying you have a bias against her, that’s not it, I really am confused about this because, well, culture changes all the time, and it changes because people push it to change, what’s so special about this push? People will accept it or they won’t.

I mean, I don’t agree that casting the wrong person in a role = Death. No more than I grant that the butterfly effect is so predictable that we need chase all butterflies away from central park lest we be responsible for hurricanes in china.
