I will say that Nimona was nominated for a Academy Award and made by the people that brought us Ice Age, so it was always intended for a mainstream audience, though I suspect some of its clout also comes from its convoluted behind the scenes story in addition to the trans allegory. So I don't think it should be impossible for a cisgender writer to review it, no, though if you're still hesitant, I mean, it's been widely available for nearly a year by now (it was even free on YouTube, legally, for a bit, which I didn't know Netflix did!) and, I mean, it already won the Ursa Major. I don't think it needs a review at this point if you're not feeling it.
And, Sobol, it kind of sounds like you might be the right person to review Icare yourself, if you want to try. Don't worry about "not knowing" how to do it. We're all amateurs here, so no pressure!
