Isn't this the same argument used with the @jessesingal Atlantic cover story debacle? That trans journalists––and only trans journalists––should report on the trans community? But that's fundamentally not how journalism or acting (with the Business Insider example) work.

Pretend it was about white actors being cast, pretty much exclusively, in black and Asian roles. Because by this logic there was nothing wrong with that. https://t.co/f6YkIE6Bif
