My initial reaction was "ehh, that seems a bit much" but then I challenged myself to replace "trans" with any other marginalized minority, like an all-black cast, and well, doesn't seem so bad. I guess I still have work to do on confronting my own sub conscious biases.

also

The Hunted, which Wachowski co-wrote with her creative and romantic partner Micky Ray Mahoney, is a dystopian political thriller **set in a version of the United States where trans people have been pushed to the margins of society and are brutalized. **

You mean just a political thriller set in todays society, right?

Its about percentages. Approximately one percent of the population in the US identify as trans. Then pare that down again by the percentage of those people who can act and have the desire to do so. Do it again for people who are age appropriate for the roles being cast, and then do it again for every role. Even when you start with a very large number, that many filters is going to cut it down fast. Think about the stars that need to align for a transgender person to be in or able to travel to LA, being the right age, having the right look, is able to work with others, has the capability to act, and manages to meet the right people to get in touch with this production.

I'd honestly be shocked if they found more than a handful, let alone a full movie cast.

An all trans movie seems like a bit of a meme to me but also Lilly and her sister have never made something I didn't love so I say fund it!

She made or helped make sense8 and that was awesome. Jamie Clayton is my favourite trans actress. I’ve been a fan of hers since Designated Survivor. I bet she’d work with Lilly again.

I somehow genuinely did not know Jamie Clayton was trans. She passes unbelievably well!

I dont think the Wachowskis have made a movie that I didn't enjoy on at least some level.

Even Jupiter Ascending is a blast if you consider it to be a satire of YA fiction

declining to fund the $10 million project

As far as a Hollywood budget goes, isn't that basically nothing? Sucks that she can't get any traction for it.

Bigots run Hollywood.

Crowdfund it. Fans will def. support it.
Bonus if it's peertubed.
