I can understand it being upsetting. I don't think it's unreasonable for it to make EP uncomfortable. But I also don't think this is a situation where the film industry was doing something wrong. There's nothing wrong with expecting the actor you cast to look the part they were cast for. Within reason, of course, but "tight t-shirt" is not exactly an extreme ask. If that's not something the actor is up for, then they need to be aware of that beforehand and not go out for the part. As an actor, you don't go out for a particular role, and then expect to be handled with kid gloves when something extremely basic that was obviously part of the job from the start is difficult for you. Sure, a basic level of sensitivity is nice. But everybody is busy doing their own job and may not have the time or energy to care about your struggle. They just need you to put on the t-shirt and do the scene.

So if the argument here is that Hollywood needs to be more open to casting FtM actors as men, and MtF actors as women, so they don't have to take triggering roles playing the sex they were born in, then yeah, I agree.

But if the argument is that productions are insensitive of how hard it can be for trans actors to play the wrong gender, then eh, I really think that's an issue that the actor needs to be proactive in managing for themselves.

Both you and the OP are taking Eliot's words way out of context.

It's a statement of how he experienced gender dysphoria during movie productions when he would have been 18 - 22. He wasn't out as trans, he wasn't even out as gay. The argument is, "this is why I need to come out as a trans person in this industry."
