So, apparently, school drama departments in our jurisdiction are not allowed to have students playing roles contrary to their gender presentation - girls may mot be cast in male roles, boys may not be cast in female roles, what they are allowed and expected to do is genderbend the role/character itself. Which just strikes me as way more "genderfucky" than the centuries old theater tradition of actors playing roles regardless of gender mismatch. Just... short sighted transphobic legislators make me laugh, because it's funny how stupid they are.

contrary to their gender presentation

If it’s a play, then their gender presentation matches the character, no?

I’m assuming the law isn’t actually about presentation though possum-mama

No, it isn't. But my brother's school is surprisingly good about that stuff despite being a church school, they maliciously comply or straight up don't comply with legislative transphobia as much as they can, but they have to be careful sometimes, there's things they can do for trans kids but all that means is that gender identity or expression becomes the Deciding Factor for this type of gender based rule. Look, they can't cause trouble for a kid whose mom told the school she's a girl if she's following the rules that apply to girls. But they do have to then deny that kid anything higher authorities designate for boys only. Which means really stupid things happen to all the non-binary teenagers. Usually based on usual gender presentation. The kid who was obviously best for a male role but the casting team weren't allowed to choose her over this? Not even a girl. Femme presenting enby. But considered a girl by the highly binary system, so they couldn't cast her as the male lead. Despite both of the binary boys who auditioned being unable to carry a tune in a bucket, and the play being a musical.
