Jared Leto won an Oscar for portraying a trans.
"a trans."

Maybe not the best presentation of probably the worst example you could cite.

Sorry i cant keep up with the lingo of every PC noun out there. I did not remember the amount of uproar for Leto, maybe because social media wasn't as big.

And I get that some roles should have other ethnicities in the main role, but if it has been happening, why is no one making their own movie with all these checklists that you have?

a: PC lingo

b: checklists that I/we have

Without those fundamentally wrong assumptions, we might have a civil discussion.

However, to answer your basic question: Because making a film and getting it seen is a lot more work than you seem to think.

Meant to reply to the OG comment, but I know exactly how difficult it is to create a film. What I am saying is, if there is so much backlash then why aren't known filmmakers using transgenders to fill these roles? If it is such a problem, why would a company and studio take on that risk to alienate their audience? Love Simon, a straight male played a gay male, where was the backlash?
