So, apparently, school drama departments in our jurisdiction are not allowed to have students playing roles contrary to their gender presentation - girls may mot be cast in male roles, boys may not be cast in female roles, what they are allowed and expected to do is genderbend the role/character itself. Which just strikes me as way more “genderfucky” than the centuries old theater tradition of actors playing roles regardless of gender mismatch. Just… short sighted transphobic legislators make me laugh, because it’s funny how stupid they are.

      Absolutely. Common transphobe fail. Look, transphobia isn’t funny, but it’s often very “laugh or cry” and this kind of shit makes the laugh response a lot easier, so I’m really glad that transphobes keep proving that most of them are idiots. Which tracks, because transphobia is inherently stupid.
