    Actress Halle Berry apologized and backed out of potentially playing a transgender character in a film after she received fierce backlash online for considering the role as a “cis-gender” woman.

    According to Harper’s Bazaar, Berry told fans via Instagram Live that she was up for consideration to play a transgender man in an upcoming film until she received a flood of criticism scolding her for “taking” a role from someone who identifies as transgender. The magazine also noted that Berry “misgendered” the character while speaking of the role.

    BRAVO Halle, good way to back out of a role for a movie that no one was going to go see.

    Shame on her for even considering this?

    I guess.

    Hopefully she can rebound from this horrible decision to apply for the role.

    She should have won one as Jinx Johnson in Die another Day.

    I hope there comes a time when truly TALENTED people are taken seriously in Hollywood. Berry is beautiful, but she CANNOT act. It's unfair to keep offering her roles while lesser known true artists are passed over.

    The article kept mentioning cisgender like it is some new thing. Very strange.

    Love a good lefty conundrum, isn't it sexist and mysogynistic to criticize her?

    I love watching the left eat its own.

    I lost any admiration of Berry after her hit and runs, IIRC it was actually a few.

    I'm glad she backed out of the part. Simple as that.

    Since "acting" means you "pretend" to be something you are actually not what's the big deal?

    So you have to be Danish to play Hamlet now? Guess Linda Hunt's going to have to give back her Oscar?

    That actually applies to both actors and transgenders, imo.

    Hollywood hasn’t produced any really good movies for a while now.
    I think that’s in part due to self-imposed censorship and racial quotas.

    I don't really agree with the decision or the concepts behind it but I don't see why people feel the need to be so unpleasant about it (not just you, pretty much every reply on the thread).

    Three hit and runs (that we know of).

    Berry was a one-woman crime spree before Hillary made that so fashionable.

    So gay actors can't play straight people. Got it.

    Well, it works like statues of slaveholders/rapists/mass murderers.

    Some are arbitrarily okay, and some arbitrarily aren't.

    Today that is.

    Tomorrow, more statues of Frederick Douglass may be destroyed.

    Straight actors should never appear in gay face!
