Trans representation in roles where the character either isn't trans, or their trans identity has nothing to do with the role

So basically trans actresses or actors in roles where the character is either not trans, or where their trans identity is never specified and plays no role in the plot.

Anna in Together Together: This character, played by trans actress Patti Harrison, is specifically a cisgender woman role as she plays a young woman hired as a gestational surrogate

Tracey in Hustlers: Trans actress Trace Lysette was cast in the role in part because the events of the movie were based on a club that she previously had danced at (she wasn't there for the actual criminal events of the movie, but the same club). Her role in the movie has nothing to do with her being trans, and is never mentioned. Quote from actress: "We didn't discuss [the character's gender] at all, and I think that's fine, because when I worked in the club, I didn't discuss it at all in real life. The character isn't specifically trans, so it's up to the audience to determine whatever they want about Tracey."

Besides Idiocracy, what movie best captures the modern political condition?

I give it to In The Loop. It came to me just now watching this coverage of State Sec Rubio lying to US Congress about Trump sleeping in meetings.

This exchange literally belongs exactly as is in In The Loop. It match-cuts to bureaucratic meetings filled with intellectual bad faith like this one.
