I'm having a hard time responding right to your comment. I've tried a few times and none of them have been quite right. I'm not sure this one worked either, but I gotta post something!

First, I think it's a mistake to see this as ragebait. Why shouldn't queer people who love theatre and Shakespeare be able to put on any show they please? The people doing this are doing it because they want to. Sure, having an entirely trans cast is absolutely a Political Statement here and now, but that's just because existing as trans is a Political Statement. I didn't choose to be trans (although I would have, being trans rules), and I hate that I downplay such an important part of myself in public just to be slightly safer. I can imagine it would be a powerful experience to be part of the cast of this show, because everyone in it is loudly being their whole queer self, very publicly. And I think that's beautiful, transness should be celebrated, even though it's dangerous to do so right now. In fact, maybe we need to do it more because it's dangerous right now

Second, how do you feel about Pride? Not the pink-washed corporate parade it has become, but what it started as, a revolutionary movement. "We're here, we're queer, get used to it." Were Pride parades "ragebait" back when marching in one was dangerous? I don't think so. At the end of the day, Pride is a celebration, a celebration of people whose gender and sexuality are incompatible with the dominant cishet paradigm of love, sexuality, and gender. And I feel it's important to celebrate that, even if it's dangerous, even if being proud of our identities pisses off bigots.

Finally, your last question is very, very close to the classic class-reductionist fear that "if we (as leftists) cater to all these silly little identities that don't matter, then we won't be able to unite and defeat our real enemy, the bourgeoisie". And I think this line of argument has been debunked on Hexbear often enough that I don't have to do it again here. If not, of course, let me know, I'll give it a shot, although I'm pretty sure there are people who've already addressed this argument better than I ever could.
