It is literally called acting.

The whole point is that you put on a performance. If you are playing yourself, you're not really acting. You're just being you. The "representation" rule doesn't apply when you have LGBTQ actors playing heterosexual characters as frequently as hetero actors playing LGBTQ characters.

It's not like a visible minority where you can only play someone with the same skintone. You can pretend to be someone of a different orientation, religion, nationality, or political equation. If that's not the case, then we need to round up and arrest anyone who has played a Nazi because it surely means they are one.
