May is pretty overtly feminine in build and voice. It's just my personal opinion, but given very few trans people have a perfect transition it may not be the BEST form of representation. I can already imagine people complaining about it. But there is also the issue that the media tends to have cisgender men play the roles of transgender women, even if the character has transitioned. There's a lot of distaste for that because it feels like it sends a message of "Trans women can't be womanly, they'll always be masculine because they're men." So CRWBY could catch flak for making a trans woman character who is way more overtly masculine than her peers.
