So, is this person writing a screenplay? Because the article has no bearing on reality. Also, the plot is awful.

There’s a big difference in “ not allowed” from 400 years ago, to now
Now, women are allowed on stage

And the left is replacing them with crossdresser men

Women loosing both ways

I could go on, but why?

Good question. You weren’t really going anywhere in the first place.

I predict a Netflix mini-series coming soon.

High school English teachers today face prison in Florida if they have their class perform a Shakespeare play in period dress.

Get a grip. Nobody is going to prison in Florida for performing Shakespeare.

Author is an idiot. That is not what the law to keep children safe from Progressive Perverts is about.

The writer is a lame Babylon Bee wannabe. Sarcasm fails when it’s not rooted in reality.

Should Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis be erased from history — in Florida — for playing women in “Some Like it Hot”?

Or erase every Tom Hanks movie because he got his start on the TV show Bosom Buddies?

1. The article has no bearing on reality in Florida.

2. At least the aticle admits that in Shakespere’s day men played women’s roles because women were often not allowed to act in theatrical productions. The men in women’s clothes and roles were NOT in general “cross dressing men” and the roles were not made for “cross dressing men”. It was the state of the theater at that time. It was all acting, not gender confusion on the part of the actors.

3. Even so, cross dressing as a behavior itself is not “transgenerism” or gender dypshoria. It is mostly just “play acting”

The headline is a lie, of course. It is meant to grab attention with the hopes that people will believe without reading.

So the Disney-loving pedophile wants little kids to cross-dress to fulfill his Shakespeare fantasies. Yuck!

Dear Mr Kahn: Shut up, stupid. No one’s going to prison for violation of this law. Being libs, they only follow the law when it suits their purposes. Teachers across the country are flouting the laws which bar CRT and sexual indoctrination. I don’t favor jailing a single one. What I do favor is the revocation of their teaching certificates

Sarcasm fails when it’s not rooted in reality.

People who try to be funny and clever are rarely either. They are worse than people who think they are singers.

Bravo.

I’m glad I followed the link. Now I know the article is nonsense.

Shakespeare?

Let’s hear a feminist cheer for “The Taming of the Shrew”.
