Tootsie (1982)

Tootsie, at its core, centers around the story of Michael Dorsey, a straight white male, who resorts to assuming the identity of a woman named Dorothy Michaels to secure a role in a soap opera. It is evident that such a plot would face significant obstacles if attempted today. The evolving cultural landscape and increased awareness of gender representation make it clear that the premise of Tootsie would be met with considerable resistance and criticism in the current era.
