| Especially since the authors have now stated that Hedwig is NOT trans as originally conceived. I actually thought their response was solid. They don't see the character as trans but as a femme gay boy who is forced into a binary surgical solution due to pressure from a boyfriend and a government. Is that a cop out on the part of the creators in the face of a new generation of LGBT activists? Maybe but I also think that the creators' original idea is a narrative that might be in conflict with a lot of the lived personal experience of trans people. The musical is layered against a very specific history and time and is a kind of allegory of post-war Germany. That's not to say that it correctly represents or misrepresents non-binary peoples' experience or history in general for that matter. It is what it is, a rock 'n roll fantasia and a great role for a performer. |
