If men can be women and vice versa, let's see them convince audiences.

I recall hearing somewhere, maybe in an English Literature survey course, that as recently as Elizabethan times, women's roles in theater were played by men. This may (to my admittedly limited knowledge) have been true in ancient Roman and Greek theater as well.

oh certainly. There is a tomb in Egypt right next to a pharaohs tomb, 5000 years old, a gay couple , and the inscriptions read that the couple were the royal manicurists and pedicurists. This is nothing new.

True because acting on stage was not ladylike.

women’s roles in theater were played by men.

are you comparing that to trans? VERY POOR LOGIC. the logic of trans people.

The men actors knew they were men. The audience knew they were men. There was no confusion
