This is the sad truth of what Hollywood has become, politically motivated films and tv shows supporting only one side, flattening a narrative that allows for no nuance or complexity that comes with life. In specific life decisions like this.
It seems like it's all about what voices people feel need to be elevated. I would still think a trans person's voice is more relevant than a de-transitioner in terms of what the american public needs exposure to, given that most trans people do not de-transition, and most americans have never had a trans friend. Ideally, the film could, along the way, paint a nuanced picture of the trans world, including the uncertainty about the path kids might take towards discovering themselves, ultimately trans or not. So to me, it's not "should we elevate a trans voice" vs "should we elevate a detransitioner's voice" but "can we paint a complete and proportional picture of an issue that is emerging into the public consciousness.
I understand that your point was not that this film *should* have been about a detransitioning friend, but I just wanted to point out that it makes sense to me why holywood would be more interested in the trans story given its relevance, absent the political bias of flattening over any complexity about the issue, though that likely plays a role too.

Those "Top Critics" are descendents of the Pravda propagandists.
