Seeing a cis woman actress saying how she's excited to play a trans man role because "that’s a woman, that’s a female story – it changes to a man, but I want to understand the why and how of that. I want to get into it." it's infuriating.
leaving aside the issues of actual representation of trans actors, it's just sad to see "allies" still missing the point so hard. It reminds me of Ptolemaic astronomers, all caught up in explaining the motion of planet with increasingly complex theories because they cannot let go of their framework (where trans people are their AGAB); while with a simple change of perspective, (that we trans people have been telling them forever), the solution becomes apparent: a trans man wants to live as a man, maybe take hormones to have secondary sex characteristic of a man, maybe get a phallo *because* he is a man. So *simple*.
