"Britain’s greatest female sailor has criticised a musical based on her life story after the cast members used their platform to stage a pro-trans fundraiser."

I'd say this was unbelievably rude but modern theatre types are a bunch of arseholes.

As ever, tedious actors using and abusing a real life hero and making themselves look inadequate and foolish.

But I am surprised that the mob haven't gone for them for taking part in a performance celebrating a brave terf?

So let me get this straight, they'll take the money for performing in this show, but then feel the need to perform a sneaky bit of virtue signalling at the end, just so they don't get bullied by the rest of their gang? So they only feel a little bit strongly about trans rights, but not so much when it comes to being in a show? Got it.

Tracy Edwards doesn't have the same reach as the likes of Martina Navratilova or Sharron Davies, but she has been very vocal about this issue for a quite a while.

Wow Tracy Edwards is awesome! I'd never heard of her.

If the cast members couldn't stand making a musical about a feminist why didn't they just quit and let other actors have their roles? Or make a musical about someone else if it was all of them who had an issue?

As it is, they've somewhat used Tracy Edwards for her amazing courageous life story and then pointedly chosen to direct their internalised misogyny at her on the one night she attended.

So not just privileged but twisted too. Getting high on one's own self righteous belief in gender ideology really doesn't seem to make people kind.

The arts are screwed unfortunately because on the whole, ordinary people can no longer afford to work in them.
