I think it's because there was a nontroversy over whether drag was Mandatory or whether it must be Banned Forever (like "womxn" a while back)--wicked cishomos dressed in outrageous mockeries of womanhood to make the straights laugh at them?!

then the ALT-RIGHT MAGA CHUDS appeared and they closed ranks around "a cornerstone of the LGBT experience" and forgot that there even CAN be a controversy that doesn't fit into the DeSantis-vs.-Kamala Harris paradigm

I think the people wanting drag performances for children are wrong and those wanting to ban drag are wrong.

I have zero problem with adults enjoying adult entertainment but the key word is adult.

I know that Queer Theory is all about breaking taboos, and I suspect that that’s the whole point of exposing children to increasingly sexual situations and experiences, whether that be teachers dressing up like rejects from the Ringling Brothers (no school I’ve worked at would allow staff to dress like I see the teachers on LibsofTikTok) and discussing their sexual preferences and “gender identity” (never once have I felt the need to do that with my classes, and find it uncomfortable to answer even tame questions like “are you married?” and the follow up “why aren’t you married?”) or inviting in drag performers and discussing transgenderism. It’s all there to acclimatise children to these topics and it’s suspect as hell.

yeah, note that there's "trans 4-year-olds" a la Desmond is Amazing (of course never against their parents' will, mysteriously) but nobody's talking "gay 4-year-olds" because the gays learned to AVOID stereotypes instead of jumping into them headlong ...

part of it I think is because "gay" means something while "trans" carefully excluded actual dysphoria since 2016, because if you wanted to signal to everyone who saw you that you're quirky you had to spend some money on cat's eye glasses/hair dye/tiny hats

the people insisting on it are red flags, like how the 5'o-clock-shadow shower masturbators were the ones SO insistent on locker rooms, bathrooms, and prisons: the trans women kicked out weren't trying to pass; it'd be like someone taking advantage of the unfair firing of a Grade 8 coach for having a husband to go "yes YES I can be trussssssted with children"

The DesmondIsAmazing thread on KiwiFarms is just about the most depressing and disturbing thing I’ve read. It’s clear that he has been exposed to things no child should experience and his mother is responsible. It’s abuse.
