As ever, Treehouse insists on removing Japanese cultural elements and touchstones from their localizations. Been like this back in the 3ds era with the Fire Emblem debacle, been like it now.
Fire Emblem Fates. The classic example- two assassins, formerly on opposite sides, have a discussion.
Original dialogue (approximated)-
"How many have you killed?" "It's not something I try to keep count of. It's all I can do to keep this from weighing on my heart." "I get that feeling too, but I will faithfully do my duty as my master wishes."
I remember they removed headpatting from some FE game.
There's the infamous dialogue changes, e.g. an entire dialogue chain was removed and just filled with "..." between two characters in a support conversation, the "RAWR! That means I love you in dragon!" or some similar fucking nonsense.
It's literally restoring the original dialogue from the Japanese script. It was the American dub that removed it. Normally your statement would be correct, but in this case the old 2004? dub was heavily modified and censored. This re-release is closer to the original.
You're perfectly free to hate the character, but it's kind if silly how people are acting like this is some new thing. God forbid people acknowledge Nintendo of sucking the Tranny dick decades before it was cool.
That argument would hold water, except they're changing other things from the script willy-nilly to avoid stepping on lefty toes. No fat jokes, no skinny jokes. No Bowser calling Kammy an airhead. No catcalling goombas. (Dupree still gets to hit on Goombella with his heavy French accent though. Weird...) No saying Luigi in a dress is horrifying....
Japanese crossdressing characters have no cultural connection to American-style queerness, even if American queers get very loud and obnoxious about it.

"Localized" dialogue (exact)-
Saizo and Beroka was it? Yeah its not just that, they also removed the waifu rubbing game and some dialogues were infantilized
Best thing would be to play the translated jap version, its somewhere on arhive.org
Wasn't this the one where they removed the fanservice-y touchy game mode?
What the fucking fuck.

Awakening also had some bullshit but that was 8-4.

That's a very strange statement since the article actually provides the original Japanese and it is not, in fact, the same at all.

An effeminate male is not the same thing as a tranny. Unless you think all twinks and traps must actually be female as well.
This is just trannies trying to lay claim to something that has nothing to do with them to force representation in mainstream games people love.
no, he was originally a girly boy being made fun of by his incredibly ugly sisters.
