Although Lucas identifies as a woman, he plays a man, singing the baritone role of Don Giovanni. This casting reveals the truth that transgender identity cannot hide: Lucas is male, not female.
"Making history, Tulsa Opera presents baritone, Lucia Lucas in her American operatic debut as a transgender woman.

The Statue:

DON GIOVANNI :
Da qual tremore insolito sento assalir gli spiriti! Dond’escono quei vortici
di foco pien d’orror? - What strange fear now assails my soul!Where do those
flames of horror come from?
CHORUS OF DEMONS:
Tutto a tue colpe è poco! Vieni, c’è un mal peggior!-No horror is too dreadful for you!
Come, there is worse in store!
The continuous stream of this filth is making me think I have bulimia because it makes me puke so much.
Do not participate in their insanity. Stay non PC and point out their problem every chance you get.
If you come across one, tell them they are male and need psychiatric help.
At the end Don Giovanni is dragged to Hell. So it may be somewhat appropriate after all.
I identify as a Pull Toy,,,
