what is she even saying? she doesn't address the criticism at all and then her "only concern" doesn't even make sense. yes, that's what we want too! but also that transgender people can be included in movies that portray their experience.

In her defence a little I'm pretty sure the "my only concern" bit is just the wrong use of wording (English isn't her first language)....She's trying to say that she think that trans people should also be cast in cis roles too. It's just a weird choice of wording.

But yeah, she really didn't need to bring this up, but it's also not her place to address it either, so I'm not mad mad about it.

yeah, while I was reading it, I understood what she meant but it was definitely a strange wording, especially when coupled with the overall lack of addressing the criticism

She was asked about it.

She is one of those nuts who probably thinks "Well, black kids go as white Halloween characters. So me in black face is okay."
