TLDR based on Google translate:

"MTF-like characters were trteated as perverts when they first appeared in the 80's, but were mostly treated as women in Japanese pop culture of the 90's. In 2002, we had Bridget, who started a wave of characters who pushed the idea of 'Male characters forced to present as female'. They are a class of gender-ambiguous characters/people who are NOT subject to the conflicts of transgender people, but rather are sort of liberated. This led to another era of male characters who don't mind presenting as female in the 10's."

I'm throwing in a link to the TV Tropes article.

What if the original creator decides one thing and their successor chooses another? There's a reason why some people aren't a fan of modern Star Wars.
