It's tough to be openly GC in that industry. But I really wish they could have said "I disagree with Jo's conclusions on this matter [if they do] but my experience of her and her work is that she is anti-prejudice and I believe she is sincere when she says that she supports trans people being able to live as they wish in peace and dignity. Jo's concerns are about the impact on women and girls from changes to legislation and though I disagree [if they do] I respect her right to express her opinion on this issue, because the safety of women and girls is something I also care about."
Or similar. It was the way they piled in and made it seem like what she was accused of was justified.
Anyway, I have always been a bigger fan of the book series than the film franchise anyway 
they are like the action movie adaptation that doesn't have the screen time to get into the character development, mysteries, the social commentary, wit and humour of the books.
I'd love them to eventually get a series per book (and longer series for the longer books) as His Dark Materials has done.
