    Sorry for ruining the joke, but the character can be female even though the actor isn’t

      Yeah, honestly, stuff like this is just telling the world that you don’t know what acting is.

      What if an actor comes out as non-binary? Are you suddenly convinced that every character they’ve ever played is non-binary?

      Are gay actors not allowed to play straight characters?

      Do actors have to be exactly the same age as the characters they portray? What about when the actor gets older? Does that retroactively make all of their characters older?

      I know they’re doing this as a bit, but it’s bad bit that reinforces stupid ideas about trans actors. Let trans people portray whoever the fuck they want to portray and stop turning it into a whole thing.
