Local student is being denied the role for not be assigned male at birth. Now they've decided that Oklahoma is too controversial of a play and includes graphic scenes not fit for minors so they're pulling the whole show. Bunch of asshats at Sherman, TX ISD.
Edit: I will try to answer any comments I can. I do not personally know the student. I can't really speak for trans folks as I'm just an ally who wants better for this kiddo and all trans people.
Even to this day females often enough play teens or young adult males. Sometimes because there’re simply aren’t enough male actors.
If they can look and can act the part the director wants, that’s what matters.
