I haven't seen the movie yet, but the drag scene in the trailer made me cringe for just those reasons. Both Sherlock Holmes and whatever professional makeup artist(s) they hired for this film should be capable of making RDJ look more believable as a woman. Holmes is supposed to have these fantastic disguise skills, so why would he deliberately make himself up as a caricature? It makes no sense storywise or characterwise. They did it because "haha man in a dress, isn't it funny to laugh at him?" but while some people might find it funny, it doesn't work in the story. (And that sort of "let's all laugh at the man in the dress" humor always has an air of transphobia about it.)
