Hours prior, Berry went to her social media pages to speak out. In addition to apologizing, Halle vowed to help promote strong representation for all people in the entertainment biz.

“Over the weekend I had the opportunity to discuss my consideration of an upcoming role as a transgender man, and I’d like to apologize for those remarks. 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. 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. I vow to be an ally in using my voice to promote better representation on-screen, both in front of and behind the camera.” -Halle Berry’s Twitter

The open apology sparked a positive reaction from LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD. The organization credited Berry for reconsidering the movie role.

“We are pleased that @halleberry listened to the concerns of transgender people and learned from them. Other powerful people should do the same. A good place to start is by watching @Disclosure_Doc to learn about trans representation in media.” -GLAAD’s Twitter
