* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: In-universe, this is very much Jeff's philosophy towards his playwriting.
-->'''Jeff''': I don't like it when people come up to me after my plays and say, "I really dug your message, man." Or, "I really dug your play, man, I cried." You know. I like it when people come up to me the next day, or a week later, and they say, "I saw your play. What happened?"

* OvershadowedByControversy: While the original movie (which was released during a time when the transgender community had not officially reached mainstream prominence) could get away with the concept of a man cross-dressing with no problem, the increase in transgender awareness since the 2010s meant that the Broadway show ran into some trouble, as several Broadway fans (the majority being young ones who didn't know the movie) decried it as transphobic and viciously hated on the show throughout its run, refusing to watch it, decrying its awards success, and celebrating the show's early closing.
** In response, fans of the show noted that while the concept may be dated, it doesn't make fun on the transgender community, as the humor comes from laughing at Michael's sheer desperation to make such a major change and the Hell it puts him through, rather than the punchline of a man being dressed as woman. Additionally, while detractors noted that Michael was a DesignatedHero, fans also pointed out that the other characters call him out for his behavior, with no one else supporting his idea, and Michael realizing he was wrong the entire time.

The film has nothing to do with transgenderism. At all. It's about an actor who pretends to be a female character in a soap and the complications it causes. Having someone identifying as a woman playing a woman would not cause any problems, because they're not a man trying to understand what being a woman is like.

* ValuesDissonance: Granted, it's nowhere near as bad as other comedies in which the plot hinges on a cishetero man pretending to be a woman, like ''[[Film/AceVenturaPetDetective Ace Ventura]]'', but with the rise of visibility for transgender people, many of whom are frequently dogged with accusations of "pretending" to be a different gender, it's a little harder to find humor in this premise. It doesn't help that it's near impossible for trans actors to get roles reflective of their genders, up to and including ''as'' trans characters. This became a significant issue for TheNewTens stage adaptation, not helped by its SettingUpdate.
