Some online commentators criticised Rose for not being Jewish, while the main focus of the scrutiny was the assertion that the fact she identifies as genderfluid made her "not gay enough" for the role. Rose quit Twitter and deactivated public commenting on her Instagram account following the backlash.{{cite news|author=Cavna, Michael|title=Ruby Rose Leaves Twitter After Criticism That She Isn't 'Gay Enough' for Batwoman|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2018/08/13/ruby-rose-leaves-twitter-after-criticism-of-her-batwoman-casting/?noredirect=on|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=13 August 2018|access-date=16 May 2019|archive-date=25 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190725141026/https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2018/08/13/ruby-rose-leaves-twitter-after-criticism-of-her-batwoman-casting/?noredirect=on|url-status=live}} Prior to leaving Twitter, she released a tweet responding to the negative reaction, stating, "Where on earth did 'Ruby is not a lesbian therefore she can't be batwoman' come from — has to be the funniest most ridiculous thing I've ever read." Rose called for unity between women and minorities, imploring women and the LGBT community to be kinder and more supportive of each other.{{cite web|author=Ramos, Dino-Ray|title='Ruby Rose Leaves Twitter In Wake Of 'Batwoman' Backlash|url=https://deadline.com/2018/08/ruby-rose-twitter-batwoman-backlash-lgbtq-inclusion-diversity-1202444418/#comments|work=Deadline Hollywood|date=12 August 2018|access-date=16 May 2019|archive-date=9 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180909114349/https://deadline.com/2018/08/ruby-rose-twitter-batwoman-backlash-lgbtq-inclusion-diversity-1202444418/#comments|url-status=live}}
In Entertainment Weekly{{'}}s 2019 LGBTQ special issue, Rose additionally discussed the backlash to her casting as the title character of the television series Batwoman. She said the opportunity to audition for Orange is the New Black came about because the show wanted to have a gender-neutral character, but that she has also received criticism because of her genderfluid identity, adding, "when I got cast as a lesbian in Batwoman, I didn't know that being a gender-fluid woman meant that I couldn't be a lesbian because I'm not a woman - not considered lesbian enough." She said that while her initial response was dismissive, she later considered if there was a way to remedy the situation so that others would not be offended by her identity, and pondered making up a term that does not offend people and would indicate that she is "fluid in (her) gender, but also a lesbian."{{cite magazine |author=Gomez, Patrick |title=Gender-fluid Ruby Rose Opens up About the backlash She's Received for Identifying As a Lesbian |url=https://ew.com/celebrity/2019/06/05/batwoman-ruby-rose-lesbian-backlash-interview/ |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |publisher=Entertainment Weekly Inc |date=19 June 2019 |access-date=20 June 2019 |archive-date=17 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190617075707/https://ew.com/celebrity/2019/06/05/batwoman-ruby-rose-lesbian-backlash-interview/ |url-status=live }}

Rose acknowledged the public discourse concerning her physical appearance and subsequent debate on sexual fluidity after heterosexual women said they would "go gay" for her, commenting that while she thought it was brilliant and was neutral on the matter, some found the public affection toward her inappropriate because they believe it implied people can choose to be gay. Rose said she believes people are being complimentary when making such comments rather than trying to be derogatory or diminish the coming out process. She said today's society is more open about sexuality than in the past and that people should not nitpick who can or cannot identify as genderqueer, gender-neutral, bisexual or trans, or tell them how to live their lives, and that this is a message the LGBT community should be supporting.
