i remember as a kid watching a peter pan where peter was played by a girl.
idk this one isn’t rlly outrageous to me. If they were doing it to push back trans rights ya grab teh pitchforks. but they aren’t. they are taking a step forward for trans rights. i would hope they read these articles and cast real trans people going forward with understanding that they are literally supporting trans people if they do that. But it doesn’t bother me he’s cis. Who would i be to say what gender he can or can’t be?
my actual thought when reading the article is “i bet that’s a healthy experience for the actor”

Woman have traditionally played Peter Pan on stage due to a number of different requirements for the role - https://www.thewrap.com/every-actor-who-played-peter-pan-jm-barries/.
It’s the point of acting, really, to experience and display something you’re not. I really don’t get the big deal on this given the history of acting.
