I too noticed the issues in the title and description and even tho I simply saw the movie after that, when I saw…
I dont know if youre refering to me by some of your statements, but i just want to make clear i dont think i told you how to feel about anything, in my initial comment i simply explained why one might feel uncomfortable by the synopsis and the title same with my other comments. Whats so wrong about that

Oh, so we're still using the term sjw derogatory in 2021? Weird. I think its important to point to things and decriptions that arent appropriate to todays standards so to not enable transphobia. Mdl is ever evolving and simply adjusting a synopsis from 2013 doesnt hurt anybody but still keeps things clear and represents societal changes. And its not like other sites are rigid in their blurs, which is not ideal. Look at letterboxd, there are also no pronouns and harmful descriptions being used. I responded to you because you mentioned me and i just wanted to clear things up because i wasnt sure if you were already aware of the dates and were just trying to make a joke by kind of unknowingly taking my statements out of context or not. Thats it.
Please read your initial comment again. I just clarafied that what you accused me of which was changing the wording to fit my own agenda was wrong because at the time i was writing the synopsis was different. Just because someone doesnt present as a woman or is pursuing transition or passing as a woman, like the mc who does it to be able to protect those she cares for, doesnt mean theyre not a woman. Yes, the mc is in a conflict between doing what shes longing for which is coming out and expressing herself the way she wants to (dressing feminine, transitioning, which she does throughout the movie) and the circumstances of her situation. And even after shes seemingly given up transitioning shes still pointing her finger, showing shes a woman.... the movie is about the mcs struggle not yours. I dont feel as though it is a appropriate to still refer to the mc by he/him pronouns even after knowing that because of her situation she just cant present as a woman even though its something she wants. also note that i specified in my comment that i hadnt seen the movie then.
I commented that seven months ago and during that time period someone not only changed the title but also submitted a different synopsis that gets rid of the issues i mentioned in my comment. And i can assure you that at the time i was typing my comment not only was the mc referred to with he/him pronouns but there was also the "real woman" passage. It was a direct quote. Please consider that things are bound to change in a seven month time window on a site like mdl that builds on submissions from users before accusing anybody. You really thought you did something.
When will writers stop romanticising stalkerish, obsessive, creppy behaviour?
