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.

Posted: 9/20/21 at 11:45amMusical comedies are delightful. I love them so much. The full house at Tootsie had a great time when I saw it, laughter and full applause. 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.

Posted: 9/20/21 at 11:53amOP, sounds like you haven’t had anything to be outraged over in a few hours. Let’s hope school starts soon, to give you something to focus on.

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 have no idea who comes here and if they are part of the LGBTQIA+ community. However, and this will blow your mind: Many of those awesome people who are part of that community enjoyed this show!
There is no drama. There are no protests yet. And, shockingly, a lot of these people don't need "support" about a Broadway show opening. Give all of them just a bit more credit than that.
Jesus Christ.

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

It's really interesting to not hear anyone say at the very least.
"I get why the trans community would find the continuation of this trope is transphobic and harmful in a theatre community that is trying to commit and make strides to be better. I still look forward to enjoying the show but I hear that point of view out."
Ya know, like people with common decency. As apposed to defensive Gen X and Boomers who throw around the term cancel culture and think millennials eat too much avocado toast.
It's okay to not get this defensive and recognize something as a conversation.

Posted: 9/20/21 at 12:03pmIt’s also ok to recognize stupidity and call it out. The outrage you thrive on goes both ways.

So recognizing transphobia is stupid to you?

Oh shut up. If that show is transphobic, then The Lion King is abusive to animals.
And yep - we all voted for trump! You’re as smart with that knowledge as you are about everything else.

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.

Gen Xers have very little tolerance for Boomers, so lumping them together demonstrates your continued ignorance.

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.
