Well It Finally Happening!

Now we will have to see the results from it.

Did it make any difference; will there now be trans actresses and actors in television shows, in movies, and in theater? Will we be playing trans roles or cisgender roles or I hope for, both. Or will it just be a crumb thrown out to the masses.

Trans visibility in Hollywood just got a big boost: The Casting Society of America has launched an open casting call for transgender actors.

On October 22, casting directors in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, London, and other major cities will open their studios to audition union and nonunion actors.

“Trans people have worked hard to hone their craft, but rarely get the chance to be seen since so few are represented,” Ann Thomas, founder of Transgender Talent, a listing service for trans and gender-nonbinary artists and actors, told the L.A. Times.

“The reasoning that a non-diverse ’star’ gets to play a diverse role is because there weren’t enough talented, diverse options is an industry myth,” says Casting Society Vice President Russell Boast. “We’re going to do something about that.”

I hope that this will make a change. There are so many talented trans actresses and actors there that deserve a chance.
