Casting a woman in the role (trans or cis) makes the whole "sweet transvestite" thing not make sense anymore if the costume is still about the fishnets, heels and makeup. He'll be a woman wo dresses and looks like a woman, and that kinda defeats the whole point of his character

I get why people don't like the casting, but I absolutely 100 percent to not understand this statement. Because it seems objectively wrong. What this casting choice means is that a woman is playing a man who dresses as a woman. How is that confusing?

Because it takes away everything that makes Frank, Frank. Frank is supposed to be a garish, creepy, ridiculous man who runs around in women's clothing. You lose this effect when you try to have a woman play him.

I think for me, the word "transvestite" is very much tied to it being a man dressed as a woman, whether that man be gay, straight, bi, etc.

The general public is easily confused, and already conflate being a transvestite (a man who likes dressing up as a woman but is still a man) and being transsexual. This is only going to muddy the waters in terms of people understand what being trans actually is.
