I will change “critics” to Matt Berry and journalist Jack King. 2601:4A:4201:AF0:91DE:8C5B:BBC1:FF82 (talk) 05:08, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you referring to the text "Critics[who?] said it used gender stereotypes and trivialised violence against transgender women"? And you think the two names you mentioned should be at the start? The problem is that information needs a reliable source and the reference in the article does not mention those people. Johnuniq (talk) 06:25, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"anti-transgender activist"

im not sure this wording is great; we dont describe homophobes as "anti-gay activists". borrowing phrasing from nick fuentes' article, the correct description would seem to be "known for his transphobic views". 2001:8003:B061:1300:182:E5C2:439F:CFB5 (talk) 12:39, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
