Dear Mark Ruffalo: Casting trans actors

“ I could have lost that family member because of transphobia, because of hatred, because fundamentally people seem to have a problem reconciling that when they look at a person, they aren’t a person if their gender isn’t easily categorised and put into the right boxes.” This is exactly what I was talking about this morning: not taking responsibility for our choices and decisions. Your family member did not almost lose their life because of “transphobia”. You have no proof of anything except either misdiagnosis or your facts are not accurate. Without seeing the presenting symptoms or chart all we have is your say so. The credibility of your word has not been established. But those you work with by your own admittance do lie — you just stated so by using the word “stealth” and explaining what that means. If a murderer goes ‘stealth’ we don’t say he was forced to, do we? He chose to do that. Why? Because he knows he is doing wrong. He is not on some grand mission such as leading Jewish children out of Nazi Germany to save their lives where going stealth is something courageous — they could have gotten caught and they knew it but the alternative was unthinkable. You are confusing doing something heroic with something cowardly. Cowardly is when we want to do something for some illicit pleasure that we want society to excuse — but it won’t and so we lie to them and hide it. You are trying to subvert the sanity of society for your insanity. It won’t end well for anyone. Because this is nothing more than a dangerous fad. The people who are pushing it will end up enacting violence upon any who disagree with them. It’s already started. It’s nothing less than mind control. All this is accomplishing is trying to subvert and confuse at risk youth who are looking for acceptance and love in all the wrong places.
