Shakespeare = typical woke leftist groomer

Now they're acting like it was never about Max and that it was the adult themes in "Oklahoma" . They dropped the gender rule and the play is postponed until January. No promise of Max keeping his role. I'll be surprised if they aren't buying time so the original lead can take the part back.

Something Sherman ISD has a history of doing. A few years ago they tried to block the creation of a LGBT student group.

Same honestly. I'm in a county that 75% of the vote went to The Great Trumpkin. Can barely afford to live here, but can't afford to move either.

That's how this whole damned town government is. It's a crooked city run by crooked construction company owners, contractors, and other people in the housing market. They put house building before anything else in the town to the point of not enforcing ANY building codes against house builders, burning massive pies of brush in the middle of a heavily populated area for land clearing, and so much more. Their response? Landowners have a right to develop their land. I could go on for hours listing the corruption here, but I digress.

Ah yes, the "ban anything I don't like" kind of liberty.

yeah people assigned as female are better at acting like a man

/s but not in a transphobic way

The text of the article also says that Max Hightower identifies as a transgender male. His parents refer to him with male pronouns.

I’m legitimately asking this question

Are you? Because it seems like you're wilfully ignoring the explicit statements in the article.

If the student was cis female, they article wouldn't refer to him as he/him.

Why not? In Shakespearean times all the roles were played by males. It’s called ACTING for a reason. If I play I Christian it doesn’t mean I have to be one; if I play an outgoing sporty dude, it also doesn’t mean I am one.

The student is also transgender, it states as much in the article. Mrs doubtfire wasn’t from the article writer or the kid. It was someone else wondering why people are being so conservatively idiot about it.

The student is transgender. From my understanding he was assigned female at birth.

You're not familiar with the history of theater, are you?

The thing is Mrs. Doubtfire IS a male lead. In the musical Daniel Hillard (male lead) crossdresses as Mrs. Doubtfire, so not allowing Max to play that role seems transphobic (though it's propably the school trying to protect its ass from lawsuits by groups such as Moms for Third Reich or whatever they're called... It's also quite ironic as the role seems to me gender non conforming to begin with).

Not for that school, they finna pay.
