Texas

in Mozart's opera The Marriage of Figaro if the opera were performed in Texas. The character Cherubino is a teenage boy, and the role was always intended to be, and always has been, sung by a woman. And there are many other such so-called "trouser roles" in opera: Hansel in Hansel and Gretel, Orpheus in Gluck's Orpheus and Eurydice, Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier, and Prince Orlofsky in Der Fledermaus, to name a few. The wording of this bill would make performing these roles as they were intended illegal, because women performing as men is as illegal as men performing as women. And then there are Shakespeare's plays, in which all female roles were played by men at the time, and sometimes still are for the sake of versimilitude.

But somehow I don't think the GOPers in the TX legislature are much into either Shakespeare or opera.
