The Reality of Being Trans in Hollywood
The reality of being trans in Hollywood is a tough one. There are very few opportunities for trans actors to get cast in leading or supporting roles.
In the 1980s, there were few opportunities for trans actors, but now it seems that Hollywood is beginning to take notice and changing things up. In 2016, the Academy nominated a trans actor (Ellen Page) for the first time in history.
The number of transgender actors has increased significantly over the past decade or so. This is due to an increase in representation on television and more awareness about transgender people and their stories.
