I will also say that this article is definitely feeding into the outrage. Most other articles just see it as a cinema rerelease in 4K and don't mention the edits at all.

What would otherwise be an uninspired rerelease is now a culture war headline: "New 'Encore Cut' removes footage from original film".

While the article writer does whine about where thiis might lead to, as if it was the first time it happened, at least it includes the following quote from Hogan:

Hogan’s response is that people pointed out to him that “this guy is a folk hero around the world. He shouldn’t be groping people. And I thought yeah that’s right, he shouldn’t be, so take it out. I mean, he did it in all innocence, in naivety, but it’s better without it”.

It isn't specific to the underlying transphobic contrxt, but at least pointing out that groping is bad and a protagonist shouldn't be doing that plays a part.
