The actress who was named People’s “Most Beautiful Woman” in 2003, is now stepping back from a role as a Transgender man in an upcoming film.
Berry faced backlash after referring to the character as a “she” rather than a “he” in a Instagram live video on Friday. (Watch the full thing below) The character was born a female and transitions into a man during the script.
Members of the LGBTQ community also criticized her for taking the role, especially when there are so many Trans actors that are in need of work.
