If you guys are seriously ignorant to the fact that Hedwig was one of the few characters around, for a very long time, that trans people could see themselves in and they latched onto that, I'm not even going to bother discussing this. 

Well, Darren Criss is continuing his goodwill tour by calling Hedwig a "girl-boy-thing" this time. I know that JCM has said he doesn't consider Hedwig trans, but she's still a character that's meant a lot to the trans community and it's getting increasingly hard for me to not get offended by the callous and uninformed way he describes the character he claims to love so much. I don't think I've been this unenthused by a casting choice since Ally Sheedy. 

"Also... what are the odds that the lottery is going to be me + 500 Gleeks?"

I'll judge if all the subsequent audience interaction is with nothing but women.  I mean, considering the character of Hedwig that he's portraying it wouldn't fit at all, and would actually circumvent some of the meaning of the show.

Can anyone who was there confirm that he did the carwash and the kiss with women? I don't know if it's a rule that those are usually done with men, but every other Hedwig I've seen has done those with a male audience member, and I'm kind of cringing at the idea of Criss making out with his female fanbase every night, especially since he's already said and done some things that make it seem like he has a fundamental misunderstanding of who Hedwig is.
