| If you have a rule to not give the award to two men or two women (or two non-binary persons) what is the difference in the way it is now ? What if the best performances were given by two men or two women or two non-binary persons? I am likely for a non gendered category I think though perhaps the Tonys like the Oscars and Emmys should wait a couple years and see how it plays out in those awards that already have non gendered categories. Another solution would be to have the role define the category such as Best performance as a female in a supporting role. But there you would automatically have the problem once non-binary roles start becoming written. (I do not consider Daphne to be a non-binary role since the character starts as a cis gendered male and it is unclear how they consider their gender by the end of the show. Lulu in Shucked is definitely a female role and damn does Alex Newell perform the hell out of it! I would give Newell both Tonys) |
