My wife, who is a very big bond fan, was not at all behind this idea. Make a new character, not take an existing...
I really don't care, as far as I'm concerned the James Bond series has sucked after Sean Connery.
Casino Royale, Skyfall, Goldeneye were all pretty solid IMO.
I don't see Bond being a Trans character anytime soon, Idris Elba would be a cool James Bond though, internets been talking about it for years, think he's got the look and the acting chops for it.
James Bond is not known for wearing disguises. He sometimes wears a uniform related to whatever task he has to accomplish, but he's usually above that and stays true to his international business man look. I personally would not mind Idris Elba but since he's doing Luther again, that seems to be out. Personally my vote is Ruby Rose. She has the gender bender thing going on, she kicked ass in John Wick 2, and she apparently wants to do it too.The essence of the character trait some are concerned about is sexuality, attractiveness, cleverness, manipulation. It doesn't matter what sex or gender Bond is. What matters is that Bond is the sexiest, most interesting person in every room. That could get rather edgy with a trans Bond.
Claiming a trans can't be that is bigoted and, frankly, I'd be concerned if I was and the opinion was that of my significant other.

I must stop there. I believe a chasm exists that I cannot cross.

A transgendered man playing a cisgendered Bond wouldn’t bother me, assuming the actor is convincing. But the Bond character is cisgendered. Bond’s sex and gender and orientation are fundamental to his character in a way that his ethnicity isn’t. That may not be true for other characters, but I think it is for Bond.
