More on the trans laydee actor winning a women’s award:

Spanish performer Karla Sofía Gascón, 52, starred in the Mexican musical comedy Emilia Pérez, a film about a cartel boss who transitions from a man to a woman to escape vengeful criminals.

The British Academy is the latest film body to include the transgender performer in a best actress category, following the Cannes Film Festival and the Golden Globes.

…

Gascón could become the first ever transgender best actress at the Baftas if she fends off competition from Cynthia Erivo for Wicked, Marianne Jean-Baptiste for Hard Truths, Mikey Madison for Anora, Saoirse Ronan for The Outrun, and Demi Moore for The Substance.

That’s five women potentially cheated out of an award from an industry that notoriously ignores and under-employs women.
