Scarlett Johansson will no longer play a transgender man in her next film

The latter would obviate the need for the former for someone arguing in good faith instead of trying to “win” at all costs. This is why I consider the former a “tell” (especially when, as seems to happen on BB, it’s suddenly rolled out late in the game).

Except this was about a meta-motivation because the attempts of having a good faith discussion weren’t working.

Her first big screen role was as a trans person in a 1976 (!) Spanish (!!) movie, where the main trans role was played by a cis woman, but since she has played both trans and cis roles in many movies and plays:

That’s good but a Spanish actress who seems to have transitioned to a media personality role isn’t really a viable candidate to play in a Hollywood film (particularly not Johansson’s role).
