And then part of the audience is like "Yes, exactly!!", while the other part is like "Wait, what, isn't that double standard?"
That's the polemic about Bryer's tweet about Ohanian voicing Bridget. She has more of these kind of xeets, which just makes me wonder why is she so negative about Ohanian's casting?
Is that really a good look to be known among other actors and even directors, maybe, about your opinion like that? What about the fans?
At least I find it hard to just ignore attitude like that, even if it is hopelessly minor thing.
I think trans actors should absolutely be accepted to every kind of role they're being called to voice. Voice acting is neat like that, because it absolutely can transcend shallow qualities like that, like sex or age or race.
...Tina Belcher, Edna Mode, Bart Simpson - almost literally every other shounen anime protagonist; Naruto, Luffy, Edward Elric, mot#her ducking Goku.

One last time, I just fail miserably to see any fair reasoning on Bryer's part for her strange and strangely public opinions broadcasting, in situation where lukewarm "gz for role, fellow actor" would look wacktillion times more professional, and respectable.
If I had to guess, not having any stake in this, it's that trans characters are few and far between, so if there are trans VAs, giving them the roles would be beneficial as a whole, as there are few of them also.

There's double standards everywhere. The modern evangelical is a walking double standard as a whole.
