寡姐棄演變性人一角,網友紛紛叫好

Ms Johansson was lined up to star in the film as Dante “Tex” Gill, a real life crime kingpin who was born a woman but identified as male.

約翰遜將在影片中飾演但丁“特克斯”吉爾一角?，F(xiàn)實生活中，她是一位犯罪頭目，雖然是女人，卻被認定為是男人。

The move angered many trans actors and queer activists, who argued that there was an entire rosterof trans male actors to play the role instead of her.

這一舉動激怒了許多變性演員和同性戀活動家，他們認為可以有一大批變性男演員，可以來扮演這個角色，而不應該是她。

Scarlett Johansson will no longer play a trans malecharacter in the upcoming film Rub and Tug after receiving widespread backlash for the casting decision.

在飾演跨性別者總這一舉動遭到了公眾的強烈反對后，斯嘉麗·約翰遜將不在即將上映的電影《撫摸與拖曳》中扮演一個跨性別男性角色。

“In light of recent ethical questions raised surrounding my casting as Dante 'Tex' Gill, I have decided to respectfully withdraw my participation in the project,” the actor said in a statement provided to LGBT+ focusing news outlet Out Magazine.

這位演員在一份給《LGBT+焦點新聞》雜志的聲明中表示:“鑒于最近圍繞我飾演的但丁?特克斯?吉爾所引發(fā)的道德質問，我慎重地決定退出這個項目。”

“Our cultural understanding of transgender people continues to advance, and I've learned a lot from the community since making my first statement about my casting and realise it was insensitive.

“我們對變性人的文化理解不斷加深，我從社區(qū)中學到了很多東西，自從我第一次發(fā)表關于我的角色定位的聲明后，我意識到這是很冷漠的行為。”

Jen Richards, a transgender writer and actor, celebrated Ms Johansson's decision to withdraw from the film in “the spirit of generosity”.

變性作家兼演員珍?理查茲稱贊了約翰遜退出這部影片的決定，認為她秉持了慷慨的精神。

“I am going to take Scarlett Johansson at her word that she listened to feedback, realised that despite her intentions this was going to cause harm, and made the right decision to step down,” she wrote in a tweet. “Well done.”

“我相信斯嘉麗·約翰遜的話，她聽了別人的反饋，意識到她這么做會造成傷害，并做出了正確的推出決定。”她在推特上寫道。“做得好。”

“I have great admiration and love for the trans community and am grateful that theconversation regarding inclusivity in Hollywood continues,” Ms Johansson said.

約翰遜表示:“我對跨性別人士非常欽佩和喜愛，我很感激在好萊塢包容性的談話能繼續(xù)下去。”

”While I would have loved the opportunity to bring Dante's story and transition to life, I understand why many feel he should be portrayed by a transgender person, and I am thankful that this casting debate, albeit controversial, has sparked a larger conversation about diversity and representation in film.”

“雖然我很希望能有機會將但丁的故事和生命過渡呈現(xiàn)出來，但我理解為什么很多人覺得他應該由一個跨性別者來扮演，我很感激這場選角辯論，盡管有爭議，卻引發(fā)了關于電影中多樣性和代表性的更多的討論。”
