I think what happened with Amelia Perez is kind of a perfect storm. And here's why. It was the front runner to win many Oscars, including Best Picture, in part because of its message of inclusivity.

It scrambles everything and it just shows that everything's getting realigned because you would never expect a trans actress who became famous for starring in Mexican telenovelas to necessarily be the person who is spouting all of these bigoted opinions.
