Their point isn’t about this outcry, it’s about the reaction to the outcry.
Their anology is, if it’s wrong for a cis person to play a trans character then it’s also wrong for a trans person to play a cis character. They’re trying to criticize leftist hypocrisy.
Now, I think it was a minority of pro-trans people that criticize a cis person playing a trans character. But I guess their criticism of that minority is fair.
Not only did they not lose the audition, they won the audition and then had it taken away from them. And therein lies the hate. It’s not a “no”, it’s a “yes but go fuck yourself”.
So your suggestion is that the consistent view would to only allow trans kids to play trans roles? So a trans boy (assigned female at birth), who is literally indistinguishable from her male peers, is just shit out of luck? And trans girls are going to have to wait til their (obviously very open) school decides to do Rocky Horror Picture Show?
Fuck off and let kids be kids. Weird fuckers obsessed with children’s’ genitals.
You do realize that these aren’t the same people, right? They have like polar opposite beliefs on the subject.
Anyway, this kid was “banned” from playing the role, they didn’t lose the audition.

Same website, but still you are right that banning someone from performing based on anything outside their performance is outrageous.

Their point is it’s hypocritical to say a cis person can’t play a trans role.
I know what their point was.
Then why are you acting like they think a trans person can’t play a cis role?
