What in the actual frick?

The title of Barrie's theatre play was "Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up"

Peter is no longer a lost boy. He grew UP, and looks exactly like what a man with a wife and two kids could look like. His appearance changed so much that even he doesnt recognize the boy in him, when he looks in a mirror

doesn't change the fact it was always portrayed by a woman until robin williams. I know how concerned this board is with gender or race swapping.

So entertainers have always been deviants? Is that your point? I dont think anyone will argue that point with you on here. But Barrie wrote him as a boy. Its producers that CHOSE to swap him out

In the 1953 animated film, Peter was voiced by Bobby Driscoll
Peter Pan and the Pirates 1990 series - voiced by Jason Marsden
Hook 1991 film - Robin Williams
Peter Pan 2 Return to Neverland 2002 - voiced by Blayne Weaver
Neverland 2003 film - Rick Sparks
Peter Pan 2003 film - Jeremy Sumpter
Neverland 2011 film - Charlie Rowe
The New Adventures of Peter Pan TV series 2012 - Matt Hill
Once Upon a Time 2013 ABC - Robbie Kay
The New Adventures of Peter and Wendy 2014 webseries - Kyle Walters
Pan 2015 film - Levi Miller
National Theatre Live: Peter Pan 2017 - Paul Hilton
Peter Pan and Wendy 2023 film - Alexander Molony

So the 4 times he was potrayed by a woman is the outlier

Primarily because regulations at the time would not allow children to be on stage, a young boy could not play the role of Peter Pan, and an adult male actor would not have been suited for the role. The play then followed the pantomime tradition of casting a young woman in the role of the principal boy, although the original Peter Pan play was never classified as a pantomime.
