There's nothing controversial about this. A film studio is casting a film, looking for talent. It happens every day.

So, suppose to be offended because they admit a transgirl is not a real girl? Thus why not looking for a girl, but a trans one?

Confused,

Unfair assumption. Could be to show the essential humanity of a trans person.

You really think they talk about how trans people feel in board rooms, or the survival of their company financially and how to make more profits. Payroll is expensive. Pixar has to be profitable it wants to survive under Disney which as we know was hit hard lately.

it's a good thing that Bing Crosby was Catholic otherwise he shouldn't have played Father O'Malley and won an Oscar.

Or, perhaps they're taking note of what happened with Sia when she made a movie about an autistic teen recently - it was broadly panned because the portrayal of the main character was way off, and while the movie was supposed to be a positive experience it became all about how misunderstood autism is by those not autistic.

It will be interesting to see how many parents want to take their children to a movie about a "trans" child. I'd guess a lot fewer than woke people think. There are still plenty of people who believe in male and female, with rare chromosomal exceptions.

That a person could switch to the other gender would have never even crossed anyone's minds for most of my lifetime, and it still seems like craziness to plenty of us.
My generation will be dead and gone in another 20-30 years, and everyone can carry on however they want. I don't see myself ever jumping on the "transgender" bandwagon. Just does not compute as anything other than a mental illness.
