Halle Berry apologizes for considering transgender character as next role, vows to be ally

Halle Berry is issuing an apology after revealing in a recent interview she considered playing a transgender man."As a cisgender woman, I now understand that I should not have considered this role, and that the transgender community should undeniably have the opportunity to tell their own stories," she wrote.

When Brown asked Berry if she would ever cut her hair short again, the actress said that she would. Berry then brought up that she was considering a role as a transgender man, which would require her to cut her hair short.

And that will probably be my next acting role."

"The language here demonstrates @halleberry doesn’t even know what a trans man IS," wrote @prestonmaxallen. "This is why cis people can’t take trans roles - too many confuse our actual identities with their Oscar bait. I look forward to her apology and dropping of this part.""Thank you for listening and learning and providing opportunities for trans folks to have this role," tweeted activist April Reign.

You know, Tom Hanks has never been in the military. He should leave those roles to actors who have served... Also, he's never been a lawyer either. We need to leave those roles to former lawyers who are now actors.

Racism solved!

I don't see why an apology is necessary for *considering* a role.

I think she'd make a good she/male

Hahhhaahhaa
