Angelica Ross, a transgender actress, called out Emma Roberts for a transphobic scene in 'American Horror Story.'

[{"selector":"#anim-1045227f-f3a0-4056-8417-b55fd7f0549f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-77d1569f-149d-4e10-a7d0-747c439c8ce8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 126.01010%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The scene in question involved Roberts' character making a joke about a transgender woman's genitalia.

Ross took to Twitter to express her disappointment and frustration with the scene.

[{"selector":"#anim-9c3a36e4-7857-49f0-a95b-7e07caab9951","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e26b3ccf-63b4-4b69-bfa9-4e70e0e1e26f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 113.70775%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

She called on the show's creators to do better and to consult with trans people when writing trans characters.

Ross also highlighted the importance of representation and the impact that negative portrayals can have on the LGBTQ+ community.

[{"selector":"#anim-3dab1a6f-bee5-4205-8a1d-ec71b3ad11df","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1848b9b0-0c82-48d8-b981-8435f60bdf37","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 127.82826%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Roberts has not yet responded to Ross' criticism.

This is not the first time 'American Horror Story' has been criticized for its portrayal of trans characters.

[{"selector":"#anim-a6f11c2a-2f51-454e-a84c-05214df137b6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cf7a6b54-58e2-43c2-ade9-abe25074ede9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 113.70775%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The show has been accused of perpetuating harmful stereotypes and using trans characters as plot devices.
