"As a cisgender woman, I now understand that I should not have considered this role, and that the transgender community should undeniably have the opportunity to tell their own stories," she"I am grateful for the guidance and critical conversation over the past few days and I will continue to listen, educate and learn from this mistake."
Berry said she vowed "to be an ally" and to use her "voice to promote better representation on-screen, both in front of and behind the camera."LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD said they were pleased Berry listened to the concerns voiced after her discussion of the role and "learned from them.""A good place to start is by watching @Disclosure_Doc to learn about trans representation in media.
After Berry's announcement Monday, the account wrote, "We hope #DisclosureNetflix is one of many educational tools you and others can rely to inspire and strengthen allyship."
Virtue signaling alert.. Virtue signaling alert... Virtue signaling alert....
she needs to apologize for Catwoman .... this new pandering just appeases useless people
*actors/actresses no longer allowed to act*
Never apologize for your own personal choices; never cede to main stream narratives and the woke brigade
Like we freaking care...... 🙄🙄
It’s called acting for a reason. She should not have to apologize.
Are the people who offered her the role going to apologize?
Tom Hanks played Forrest Gump. Tom needs to apologize
She also needs to apologize and pay reparations for her portrayal of a mutant who could control the weather. That was obviously hateful and bigoted towards actual mutants.
So since actors need to be what they play. Are we hiring murderers for those roles? The left has some serious logic issues.
Career over, nothing to lose. Virtue signaling. Who cares. It's acting should be able to... Act.
Comrade Berry has made the requisite public atonement and has satisfied the politburo's demands following her foolish decision to act in such a film. The ideological hegemony shall not be challenged!
So does Hilary Swank have to apologize?
I thought it was called 'acting.'
A fridge magnet in my motorhome comes to mind - 'The beatings will continue until morale improves'
How is this news😳
Thank god
This is ridiculous!!! That’s why they call it ACTING !!!
Only a woman can be a woman.
What bullshit!
Report real news, don't care about PEDOWOOD
It's like when people were upset that Bryan Cranston played a paraplegic in the Upside. Or Alec Baldwin played a blind guy in Blind. World's gone crazy.
A female actress was to act in a female part ends up apologizing and is no longer in consideration for the part. Can't get much more woke than that.
They call it acting, not real life. She wasn't a cat either, but was the best CatWoman ever!!
When will CTV apologize for playing a legitimate news role.
People are missing the point here. 'Transgender' is not just a category, like being a children or having a disease. It's a group of people that suffers discrimination and prejudice. It needs support from us. Giving them these acting roles is one way to help.

I'm sorry... what? She is an actress. OMG... Mary Martin played a boy... actually Peter Pan is always played by a young woman or girl. I don't think she had anything to apologize for.
Looking forward to Winnie the Poo being voiced by a real bear since that's where we're at now
🤦🏻♀️ So acting is now wrong? I really can’t keep up anymore 🤷♀️
White authors being banned from having black characters or male authors being banned from writing about female characters is on the horizon.
Weak
The very essence of an Actor is to portray a character. They play all sorts of people. What about playing a disabled historical character like Steven Hawking.
she should apologize for Catwoman
Lol. The Deviant Left is bereft of rhyme, reason or sanity. Slobbering, half-wit Ideologues.
Xx and xy whatever else is a mental disorder
I wanna be a Dolphin 🐬
For now on only real pirates, astronauts, Royalty, cops, strippers and Doctors can play those roles in the entertainment world. There are many other roles, please feel free to add to the list.
I'm fine with her stepping aside to give someone who is trans and an actor a chance to play that role but why the need for an apology? She's an actor. The producer and director and casting agent presumably wanted her for her talent and cache.
All these virtuous people are becoming nauseating. Its a friggin movie role not a documentary. Some call it acting, guess Hollywood is next to tank
DILLIGAS !
She should not apologize, what happen to freedom of expression and choices, or when it comes to the LGBTQS+2 every one becomes a fucking ass
That sucks !
Who cares
Apology for thinking about doing something? What is going on?
So, we are at a point where actors can't ... act. Will actors who are transgender be allowed to portray a character who is not transgender? That is rhetorical of course ... as hypocrisy reigns.
she is a transgender i could get into !!
Fuck the dictionary. “Acting is an activity in which a story is told by means of its enactment by an actor or actress who adopts a character [...] that makes use of the mimetic [to imitate] mode.”
The centipede syndrome of modern elite. Good.
Shame on her for wanting to imagine being someone else.
Stupid, they are actors.
Sorry but using that logic it will stop being acting and everything becomes a Documentary.
if that movie is being produced, i hope they find the right transgender actor to showcase. and i hope it makes money too.
So now if you are a actor or actress you can’t act in movies now. Look at Matthew McConaughey in the Dallas Buyers Club. Are you telling me he shouldn’t have been in that movie because he doesn’t have aids?
