As a senior citizen cis male, I am keenly interested in the response to this movie, and this article. It is hard to be an ally to the trans community when I'm not sure how my attempts to "help" are received. To me, it is very complicated - I know it really isn't about me, but the many, many decades I've spent on this planet have tempered me a certain way, and often I don't even see it. I'm very comfortable around my gay son and his friends; I guess now that several trans people have surfaced in my life, maybe this old dog will figure that out as well...

Never heard of either of them. I've heard the TV and film industry are plagued with lots of cancellations and disrupted careers, however, how is this different from the perpetual existence of most people in the industry?

"Rhys Ernst is just about the last person I would expect to get canceled."

Then you haven't been paying attention. The single factor that makes somebody vulnerable to social media pile-ons is needing the approval of the audience that instigates them. This is why Twitter campaigns are far more effective at shutting down Culture War allies than enemies. Allies are subjected to closer scrutiny and don't have the luxury of ignoring it.
