      In the UK, it’s still traditional for a bloke to play a female character comedicly in Pantomimes each Christmas.

        Imagine even suggesting drag be banned in the UK. Even the church would be saying, “what about Widow Twankey?!”

          I mean, wankers like Lawrence Fox and Calvin Robinson are trying to push all this stuff in the UK, but it doesn’t seem to be picking up as much steam as in the US.

            *reads up on Fox *

            What an asshole! Hilarious though that he ran for mayor and, in spite of having the name recognition of being an actor from a prominent family, he didn’t even get enough votes for his deposit to be refunded 🤣

      Now that women can play women, we don’t need that anymore.
