I know there aren't so many trans actors/actresses, but wouldn't be nice if trans actors were normally casted as cis characters? I don't get why every time a trans person appears on the screen we have to tell "alright, that's a trans person". Jake Graf (who is trans) played a cis historical character in "Colette". Couldn't it be like this more often? In addition, I think people are keeping voting Elliot Page as female roles. He's a man! Whaddya think?
