British actor and The Danish Girl star Eddie Redmayne just basically gave himself the world’s loudest pat on the back for “introducing” the world to the struggles of the trans community — and Twitter, predictably, is having none of it. Many railed against the comments, while others took issue with a bigger Redmayne/Danish Girl problem.

OMG the summary:
Trans wizard Harriet Porber is a master spellsmith who’s found herself in a bit of a pickle. After finishing wizard college, Harriet made a name for herself by creating a hit viral spell, but has since failed to craft a follow up. Now Harriet’s agent, Minerma, is breathing down her neck, suggesting that Harriet take a trip to an island off the coast of England for inspiration.
Hoping for some peace and quiet to clear her head, Harriet Porber arrives to find that her new neighbor, an angsty bard named Snabe from the band Seven Inch Nails, is already there making a racket. This parasaurolophus spellcaster is a bad boy through and through, and with his incredible powers of metamagic, Snabe reveals that this layer of reality is much more than it seems. Could Harriet and Snabe really be characters in a parody romance novel?
Soon enough, these two are discovering they have more similarities than differences: both trans, both strong, and both hoping to create a new spell that will change the world. But with the addition of two devious sentient motorcycles to the mix, Dellatrix and Braco, things start to get complicated.
Now trans wizard Harriet Porber is caught up in a tale of magic and mystery where nothing is as it seems, except for one universal truth: love is real.
This is a 52,000 word bad boy romance novel for adults. It contains some explicit scenes.

AS IN THIS CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON???
The self-described working-class actor also says that cultural inequality is “much more pronounced” in Britain than it used to be, and that it would be difficult for a young actor with his background to succeed in the industry today.
“You can’t blame Eddie Redmayne or Benedict Cumberbatch but inequality will lead to a milky, anodyne culture. To an extent that’s already happened,” he argues.
Eccleston stresses that it’s not just about the working class though. “There’s not enough writing for women or people of colour” he says. “It frustrates me when they insist on doing all-male Shakespearean productions – a wonderful intellectual exercise, maybe, but it’s outrageous because it’s putting a lot of women out of work.”

this quote is tangentially related, but I think it helps show where this is coming from. he’s already very aware of Britain’s cultural inequality (maybe even experienced it himself, idk), and who better represents that inequality than the parasite queen herself?
And this is why Christopher Eccleston basically got blacklisted from the BBC for about 10 years
