As someone who was assigned a male sex at birth, but who lives and identifies as female, I may be described as a transsexual woman, a transgender woman, or a trans woman. Those women who (unlike me) were assigned a female sex at birth may be similarly described as cissexual women, cisgender women, or cis women.

POCs aren't angry about this because we're whining or just being too sensitive. We're speaking out on this because we are fans, readers, writers, editors, actors and artists within this industry. We spend the same amount of money and are just as loyal fans as our caucasian counterparts and we're not being unreasonable when we asked to be equally represented. Because we know what's at stake here.
And caucasians should be just as outraged about this. Not only because it's wrong but because these bigots are essentially telling you that you can't handle being exposed to other stories from other viewpoints, races, cultures. They're asserting that you co-sign on their bigotry. This is just as much your fight as it is ours.

What’s especially unfair about those who condemn blacks who criticize The Princess and the Frog is that whites, as a race, are not condemned as ungrateful or otherwise for critiquing the numerous white Disney princesses (or society at large.) Whites have taken Disney to task over white princesses’ independence, agency, body size, beauty, and intelligence among other things. There are academics and writers who have built a discipline out of critiquing Disney – particularly its princesses.
