Abstract
“Transitioning the Theatre Industry” examines the state of trans theatre in Canada. Vibrant creativity abounds in trans, transgender, transsexual, two spirit, and genderqueer communities. Trans artists, particularly those at the intersections of marginalized identities such as trans women of colour, have immense underused contributions to make to Canadian theatre. Yet there is a lack of trans content in theatres, and very few trans artists are able to access careers in theatre. While mainstream trans visibility has increased somewhat, the majority of cultural content about trans people continues to be created by non-trans artists. The voyeuristic biases of non-trans people shape the telling of particular trans narratives with problematic stereotypes. In contrast, at a community level, trans artists are creating compelling work exploring the wholeness of our experiences—not just our surgeries and physical transitions. Theatre presenters are frequently more conservative than their audiences—wide audiences are able to enjoy trans-themed work, although it is also valid for trans artists to make work specifically for trans communities. This article urges support for the development and presentation of trans artists as a priority, yet also explores whether and how non-trans artists can create respectful, nuanced trans characters.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
