How dare you respect the source material
I guarantee they didn't ask any of the auditions how they identified.
I know this because it wasn't cancelled for being transphobic instead.
How many all-woman (blank) are there?
It's okay if our masters do it.
But you see, you are the privileged one not them. Sure they get lower standards for college admissions and jobs, get promoted without merit and get to act without responsibility but you can pee standing up and parallel park. Clearly they are the victims.
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café with the cast of The Expendables should kick ass!
I didn't even know it existed but now I want it.
This is also why the anime Shirobako couldn't get an English dub for years.
The playwright's estate was not going to let even a fictional all-women version of Waiting For Godot exist.
Eventually they relented, but still.
