Chloe Sevigny in Interview on her upcoming role as a transgender character:

I tried to lose a lot of weight because I thought it would make me look more masculine if I were gaunt. I had to do a lot of nudity as well, so I figured if I were less curvy, that would help. I was working out a lot because my character does a lot of physical stuff as an assassin. When I got to Manchester, where we were filming, I had rehearsals with the director and writer. I wanted to play the role with this exaggerated feminine behavior that a lot of transgender male-to-females have. It’s like a learned femininity. It’s very girly. But they didn’t want that. I thought, Well, how are you going to know? How can we remind the audience who I am? So on the show there are a lot of quick glimpses of me naked, wearing a prosthetic penis, which was horrifying. But I tried to get some of my own ideas in there. We did all of these different walks. I literally spent hours just sitting and moving my hands and walking to prepare.

Not everyone who is trans does these things. Trans* is not monolithic. We are legion;)
Trans women come from all walks of life and present ourselves in many different ways. Some of us present as very feminine and some of us present as very butch. Most of us fall somewhere in between.
This one does not appreciate being parodied in any way, even unintentionally by “well meaning” cis folk.
I don’t even know who Chloe Sevigny is, but telegantmess assures me that I have seen her in movies before.
The kicker is that I initially assumed that she was playing a trans man and I though she was wearing a binder.
Seriously, can we have a trans person playing a trans person in a major motion picture release.
I don’t even know where to start with how wrong this is.
Bold is mine.

………
I—what.

No words for the amount of headdesk and facepalm this induces.

So… she tried to make herself look more masculine… to play a feminine character?
Yeah. Hollywood, don’t do that.

WHAT THE? Hang on, I’m very confused. She’s playing a trans woman? That’s not a binder? Prosthetic penis? Does anyone working on this have the slightest clue?
this is fucking weird. And disturbing

reblogged for trainwrecks.

Umm… yeah… fuck you Chloe.

AUUUUGH. Someone please take the toys away from the cis ppl. >.<

GO AWAY. STOP IT.

JUMP OFF A BRIDGE

OOH GOOD GOD

What’s even more disappointing is she was in Boys Don’t Cry, as Lana Tisdel. I just … if she decides to keep on taking roles in movies about trans* characters one would think she’d know more about the trans* community and the people in it. O.o
