\n\u201cActors who are trans never even get to audition for anything other than roles of trans characters. That\u2019s the real issue. We can\u2019t even get in the room. Cast actors who are trans as non-trans characters. I dare you.\u201d
Scarlett Johansson\u2019s response to the criticism has been nearly as strong as that of her casting. In a statement about the role, her publicist urged people to speak to the reps for \u201cJeffrey Tambor, Jared Leto, and Felicity Huffman,\u201d all of whom are cisgendered actors who have played trans roles.
Just as I wasn’t happy with Scarlett Johansson playing Japanese Motoko Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell, I am sure as hell not okay with her accepting trans roles which should have gone to actors who actually are. Also, just give trans actors and POC more roles in general. Damn. https:\/\/t.co\/tovNFS1il7

Neither Johansson, her publicist, or Rupert Sanders have spoken about Lysette or Clayton\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n
