I can't with people anymore. These people need to realize that the writers didnt make CeCe A because she was transgender. They made CeCe A because she was mentally ill at the emotional abuse she suffered as a child from both of her parents (her lying maipulative mother and her transphobic father), the years of solitude she faced at Radley when there was nothing wrong with her, as well as all of the other things she dealt with. That being said, her being transgender shouldn't bother people. I mean, let's pretend for a second that someone else was A and CeCe was still transgender. Would people have a problem with it? Probably not. However, people say that the writers "made the only transgender character in the show a villain". It's ONE character. It does not mean that all people who are transgender are villains. Most of them, if not all, aren't.

Also, it says in the article that they encouraged the misgendering of Charlotte with that quote. OMFG. Are you kidding? They didn't know that CeCe was Charlotte. I'm pretty sure that if they knew Charlotte was CeCe/A all along, then they would've used the proper pronoun to refer to her. Regarding the comment that it denies trans actors and actresses the ability to represent themselves on screen, they had chosen Vanessa as CeCe because she was best for the job. I highly doubt that they chose on CeCe being Charles right away, but they had planned on her being A. What were they going to do: cast Vanessa as CeCe and then, once they decided to have CeCe/Charlotte be Charles, cast a trans actor or actress to be CeCe once we already got accustomed to her? That literally makes no sense to me.

Note: I hope I don't offend anyone with my last comment, that certainly is not my intention. In my opinion, it just wouldn't make sense to case someone else as CeCe/Charlotte once we already got used to Vanessa playing her.
