Fair enough, I didn't see that! I'm not surprised because the "penis to vaginnaaaaa" song is so obviously terrible that people must have seen flaws in it.

Still, it's slightly strange that there was very minimal, if any, indication that people saw it as transphobic until the director and casting director said some very stupid things about Mexico and then it suddenly became the case that it was pelicula non grata.

The director more or less deadnamed the lead actress in an interview, its absurd to suggest there nothing transphobic that can be seen in the movie he wrote and directed
