Our apologies
ann m martin, the author of the books, is an out lesbian. many of the writers and directors involved with the netflix series are black, asian, and latin women. they did their homework, cast a young trans girl to play a young trans girl, and included multiple gay children and gay parents. mary anne and dawn are both played by actresses of colour.
AND the series is smart and funny and very watchable for all ages—i tend to not really watch new shows aimed at a younger audience, but i watched all of season 1 in one day. it’s rated at 100% on rotten tomatoes right now, and that rating is well deserved.

I don’t have the time or patience for the people in the notes so I’m just gonna say this as a general statement:
Being transgender has never been rare. Being openly trangender has. It is now much safer and socially accepted than before and yes, there are still a lot of assholes who hate on trans people, but there is also now a much easier way to not feel alone in being trans.
The internet didn’t invent trans people by making it a trendy thing to do for fun, it made it easier to come out instead of hiding.
