I suspect that age has something to do with the difference in treatment... There's been a lot of change in how all representation, let alone trans representation over the last decade.

But you're probably right in that racism, and the first series of Squid Game being very popular, have also played a role.

There wasn't a big online fan set waiting for Danish Girl II to complain about things in the lead up to release.

I missed pre release controversy as I try to ignore teasers and discussion of things I plan to watch one day (still haven't yet, though).
