I'm just afraid they will fuck with West Side Story even more than Spielberg did.

I met a transgender named Maria...

Well, it's based on Romeo and Juliet, and Shakespeare's plays frequently got pretty gender-fluid due to the shortage of female actors. There'd often be a male actor impersonating a female impersonating a male - it's a running joke

Similar history with Chinese classical opera at one point. Some opera companies were all-male (so female roles were played by male actors) and considered having a female in the company "shameful." :man-shrugging:

Somewhat related... yesterday at the pool there were 3 kids, don't know... maybe ages 9 or 10. One kid kept saying, and what I presume was a joke, "hey you're misgendering me! you're misgendering me!". She was clearly a girl, but still... sad to hear such a phrase from such a young kid.

That they even have the concept at that age is sickening.
