I disagree. I think you could say that about any identity. Race is different from ethnicity and gender/sex identity. Acting is all about becoming a different character. Making an actor appear to be a different race because you don’t want to hire people of color for a non-white character is offensive and exclusionary, but an actor for any other role is different. An actor pretending to be gay or trans is no different than a gay actor pretending to be a straight character. It’s a lot different. Maybe I’m just taking it personally because Boy’s Don’t Cry is among my favorite movies.
