Jared Leto/Felicity Huffman

[mf_luder_xf]

I have a question. So, I've been seeing a lot of hate at Jared Leto for a) erasing/not acknowledging transpeople and b) not being a transwoman but cast in the role.

But here's what I am curious about...I wasn't old enough/into critical analysis/fandom when Transamerica came out. So, did Felicity Huffman get such arguments against her when she played a transwoman? And if not, what was the difference?

Something I should have mentioned, but forgot and didn't want it to get lost, you need to see The Adventures of Sebastian Cole. Clark Gregg does one of the most interesting portrayals of a mtf that I've ever seen. It's a very understated performance. I'd be curious about what you think of that one.
