Loud & Queer: What ‘trans actors in trans roles’ really means, plus a sit down with Philip La Rosa

Following the revelation that Eddie Redmayne regrets his role as a trans character in the Oscar-nominated film The Danish Girl, Liz and Bailey discuss why the idea of trans actors being cast for trans roles is important.
Liz also has a lovely chat with Perth-based queer artist Philip La Rosa, who released a new single in November and recently got engaged.
