I'm not happy about this. I don't think this is helpful for kids. Is that just me?

It's all make believe, it doesn't matter. If he's going to be performing some dodgy women bashing routine the no that's not acceptable but I truly doubt thats going to happen.

Well if he just an actor then there's no issue. If he's in drag then there is.

Why?

Woman face my arse. Is he claiming to be an actual woman? No. Is he taking a part meant for a female actor? No. He's an actor playing a part. That's it.

Do you have a problem with the transgirl playing Rose?

Well that depends if Rose is a female or male character, doesn't it? I haven't seen anything to say which yet.

It's a tv show about a 2 hearted time travelling alien, who has been played by actors of both sex already, I'm very excited about this, I love Jinx Monsoon!!

Did you love The Black and White Minstrel Show too? Why is woman face any different to that?

Not thrilled either. I don't think a character/personality can be acting, can they?

If the person who plays the drag queen wants to act, well fine.
But they can't play a drag queen and a character, I don't think.

I dislike woman face, anyway.

And drag is adult entertainment, not kids' ents. So all in all, not a good move.

This is what is confusing me tbh. Is he a playing a character playing a character?

I think its just you tbh. Why is this a bad thing? I'm a massive terf but I don't see a man playing a woman in a TV show as a problem. He may even be playing an alien who knows? Do you have a problem with the transgirl playing Rose?

In what way?
