Local student is being denied the role for not be assigned male at birth. Now they've decided that Oklahoma is too controversial of a play and includes graphic scenes not fit for minors so they're pulling the whole show. Bunch of asshats at Sherman, TX ISD.

Edit: I will try to answer any comments I can. I do not personally know the student. I can't really speak for trans folks as I'm just an ally who wants better for this kiddo and all trans people.

Gatekeeping gender... in theater.

This is advanced bigotry.

Something Sherman ISD has a history of doing. A few years ago they tried to block the creation of a LGBT student group.
