"Cumberbatch's character is clearly portrayed as an over-the-top, cartoonish mockery of androgyne/trans/non-binary individuals," she writes.

That's the premise of the whole film - Every character is an 'over-the-top, cartoonish mockery' - That's why it is funny...

The "funny" aspect of Zoolander is up to debate, but I agree with you that bashing every attempt to make some humour on any minority is much too common and is counter-productive.
