If there casting a transgender, for a transgender character I have no problem, as long as they don't turn a character transgender I'm good. If this is the character there going for then I have no problem with it, but they going the extra mile to be woke, only T character, use it.

The fact that some people assume the movies will be worse because they feature strong women, different ethnicities, gay and transgender people is sickening. If you think this way, you are a terrible human being. I mean, you literally failed as a human being.
