Sad to see a guy who lived 400 years ago failing to reflect the values of the 21st century https://t.co/Kgf3NR0VAF pic.twitter.com/TUAbLwxBpu— Michael Deacon (@MichaelPDeacon) April 23, 2016

Well, all the girl parts back them were played by boys.
That's what I meant by trans privilege.
From that vantage point... Shakespeare was way ahead of his time.
Lord, what fools these mortals be!

There are MANY female English teachers who refuse to teach the greatest writer ever, because he was "sexist."
Nick, speaking of which, there is an Oxford or Cambridge female professor on iTunes (free) who teaches Shakespeare. She starts out really interesting, but on some plays concentrates on sexism. In Much Ado she digs deep to give a male patriarchical subtext to a mere plot twist, e.g., IIRC, the father of Hero believing without question what Don John alleged. It was a bit much to pull that out of a comedy. But I do recommend the series, lots of fun insights.
What brave new world that has such men, womyn, xhe's, xhir's, and otherkin in it.
Out, damned spot of gender I say!
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women and pandgenders and transexuals and genderqueer and intersex and non-binary and genderfluid two-spirit and Apache attack helicopters merely players.
Prick us do we not bleed? Tickle us do we not laugh? Wrongly identify us shall we not sue, fine and demonize?
Doth not Chinese Opera maketh me yearn for Kabuki Theater?
