Trans performers are brilliant and vital to the fabric of an industry which, if done correctly, can reflect the world we actually live in. It’s no gimmick, it’s the world - which could be a much more beautiful one if you opened your eyes to it.
Trans women are women, onstage and offstage. Trans and non-binary performers enrich our industry and the stories we love, and will never, ever be a ‘gimmick’

Clinging to traditionalism for the sake of "integrity" actively discourages innovation. We don't want to see the same shows done over and over in exactly the same manner. We come back to these stories to explore them in new and exciting ways.
