Some members of the LGBT community are urging audiences to boycott the forthcoming Zoolander 2 film because of Benedict Cumberbatch's "transphobic" performance.
Campaigners argue that the actor's character, an androgynous model, is a "cartoonish mockery" of transgender, androgyne and non-binary individuals.

"Are you like a male model or a female model?" asks Ben Stiller's character Derek, to which Cumberbatch's character answers: "All is all".

A petition calling for a boycott of the film has received almost 9,000 signatures. "This is the modern equivalent of using blackface to represent a minority," says campaign organiser Sarah Rose.
"By hiring a cis [someone who identifies with the gender they were assigned at birth] actor to play a non-binary individual in a clearly negative way, they film endorses harmful and dangerous perceptions of the queer community at large," she argues.
Benedict Cumberbatch, Ben Stiller and Paramount Pictures have yet to comment on the accusations.
