First taking a role meant for an Asian woman in Ghost in a Shell, and now a role clearly meant for a trans man.

What's the problem if that person was a woman who dressed as a guy? Scarlett can do that.

Tired of people tying the Major's identity to her original ethnicity. Johansson did alright with that role.

And I don't like this but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the trans characters on Battlestar Galactica and Mr. Robot.

He wasn't though.
The obit goes on to describe how Gill may even have undergone the initial stages of [medical transitioning] that made her appear more masculine, and that Gill insisted she was a man who wanted to be known as Mr. Gill. Based on that alone, its pretty obvious that Gill did not identity as a woman, as Johanssons film seems to suggest. Did Spinelli simply ignore this for his script?

everyone please educate yourselves on trans identities before you argue that this meant the guy was a woman playing dress up. We may not have always had the terminologies of trans but the these identities and people existed since forever.

Yes, but the character is a trans guy, not "a woman dressed as a guy".

Scarlett was born female just like this person was and common behavior of transgenderism is dressing as the opposite sex. If this character was born a guy then obviously you'd be looking for a male actor to portray them.

I'm not sure what you're arguing with me about

Should gay and straight people not play each other either? What about if you're not from the same country or culture as the character? This is a stupid thing to be mad about. Christian Bale can only play a Welsh man going forward.

White Rose in Mr Robot
BSG doesn't have specific trans characters so much as the whole nature of Human-Cylon relationships is trans-adjacent, with lines like "I'm in love with a woman I know isn't a woman" and the human characters in these relationships having their sexuality questioned by others and themselves.

An actress is taking a male role and it conflates the entire concept of trans men in the process, further increasing stereotypes and stigma against them.
