If you read the play, Viola does not disguise herself as a man out of gender confusion at all. She has no qualms about the fact she is a woman. Disguising herself as a man is merely a matter of survival, after a shipwreck. Don’t go startibg woke rumors about Shakespeare.

The only gender confusion in the play is by the Duke. He has a servant who is putatively a man, but he’s confused by subconiously realizing it’s a woman.

Please, FRiend, don't overthink my usage of that "woke" phrase. I was using the expression "gender confusion" only as a shorthand term for the phenomenon at hand.

I also like to "misappropriate" "woke" terms for fun and profit.
