| Quote: | | Aussie actress Ruby Rose has deleted her Twitter following backlash over her casting as DC's lesbian Batwoman. US studio Warner Bros last week confirmed Rose, 32, would take on the role of Batwoman Kate Kane in CW's DC universe – a significant announcement that makes Kane the first gay superhero to lead a TV series. |
To Lead is a key here, as there are already lesbian major characters in the CW DC universe. Supergirls sister for one and White Canary in Legends of Tomorrow for 2.
So why would there be a backlash you ask?
| Quote: | | But the casting decision drew criticism from some corners of the queer community, upset that the landmark lesbian role went to Rose, who has described herself as "gender-fluid". |
So apparently she's not Lesbian enough to play a Lesbian.
Stop the planet, I want to get off.

Identity politics is a deep, deep rabbit hole.

Many would find the whole idea of a gender fluid Batwoman in a rubber suit rather arousing. Not me. No, no, not me at all....
