It’s called gender-bending, at least in my local cosplay groups. It’s done frequently and usually turns out great because of the passion and care put into it. Go for it!
Go for it! Those offended are not your target audience
Rule of thumb:
- are you making fun or otherwise mocking someone?
- are you doing it for any “bad reason” whatsoever?
- are you doing something that is/was primarily done by others for “bad reasons”, historically?
- are you doing something that other groups started doing as a replacement for something else that they were not allowed to (that you are)?
I’m half asleep so I may have forgotten something but if I didn’t, then answering No to all of those should be the minimum thing you do.
I think as long as you’re not in blackface you can wear whatever the hell you want
People love the genderbending of characters. Go nuts.
Why would it be? Here is me and my ex on Halloween 2020. I was Lydia, she was Beetlejuice.
No, cosplayers do that all the time
No
No.
Be whomever you want to be
No
I can’t see a problem with fictional characters. It’s when you bring in the real people that the drama starts. Trans JK Rowling, KaMANla Harris, Hillbilly Eilish, and Marjory Taylor Peen all seem like they would raise a few eyebrows.
Ha, never heard or thought of trans Rowling but if I knew Harry Potter better I’d be damned tempted.

No, assuming the gender bend is respectful.
I dont think so, nor do I care. Black people dress up as white characters all the time, I consider it the same. Dressing up as a character means that character means something to you, so I dont see where anyone should be offended by it.
Why make it about race?
In case someone reading had a similar question but about race. Why do you care, do people of different races bother you?
Ah, you’re a troll. Got it
