Coach Beiste returns as a man after undergoing gender reassignment surgery in the next episode of Glee. While reaction at the very accepting McKinley High is positive on the whole, there are some remarks, according to Jones.

"Positive, definitely overwhelmingly positive. Sue, Jane Lynch''s character, still has some snide comments and remarks, but overall it's amazing," Jones told Vulture recently. "I'm glad they went that route. Everyone's very on my side. That's how it should be in real life, anyway, but unfortunately some people just don't get it."

The actress admitted that she does not know how the series will end for Beiste, though she said that she hopes it's a happy ending.

Speaking on the reaction from fans, she said that this too was "99 percent positive," though she clarified that fans who were disappointed in the storyline should not take the wrong message from it.

"There were a few comments that somebody made like, "I hoped that young girls who saw Beiste - who was a big girl and was okay with it and now she needed to be a man - I hope young girls aren't going to think that they can't be like that because now I'd want to be a man," she said. "I don't want them to take that away from this. I take [the role] seriously. I want to do the character with the utmost respect and honesty. I hope it comes across in the next episode."

Glee airs Fridays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
