Mrs. Doubtfire is gonna get protested

I'm telling ya it's coming and I think it's warranted.

People in the trans community were furious about Tootsie and there's a growing contingency of people who are very upset this is still coming.

I do love the classic 90s film cause Robin's performance but is has a sizable amount of transphobia in it.

We're just truly in a different era and "straight men crossdressing to get away with something" is increasingly feeling yikesy.

And yes before people sound off on me about "how it's actually a heartfelt story about divorce and a guy who wants to be with his kids" Yes all this I know- I am someone who loved the movie.

But ya gotta ask yourself, are you a cis person defending it when you're not on the receiving end of transphobia?

Some things just stop holding up as time goes on no matter how you defend intention

What they really should be protesting is the fact that the Kirkpatricks have written a score for Doubtfire that makes Something Rotten! sound like Hamilton.

It was considered a flop of course and maybe this will be too, but let people enjoy what they enjoy and resist the urge to assume something will happen and sh*t all over it. Thank you."

I mean should we not have ethics and hear this point of view about the transphobia of this story out? You're very dismissive about that point.

I have to assume the majority of the posters on here are from the LGBT community. We have to stand with all of them.

LOL --- no one, no matter what their sexuality is, has any obligation to "stand with" the ignorance and intolerance of the "woke Twitter mob". If we just ignore them they will eventually cry themselves to sleep.

I'm gonna protest you, OP, by putting you on ignore, so I don't have to see this stupid thread.

So recognizing transphobia is stupid to you?

Can't wait to see the mob of 1 protesting out in front of the theatre.

Oh shut up. If that show is transphobic, then The Lion King is abusive to animals.

I'm gonna keep this quote for the books thanks. I think you need to check in with yourself if you respond to points like this so vehemently and are part of the LGBT community.

So tired of being told what I should get upset about and what I need to protest.


OP your life is going to be really rough if you are going to get riled up about everything that you view as going against your views.

I was JUST about to say pretty much this exact same thing. OP clearly has zero knowledge about us X’ers. Zero.
