And while often being deeply inappropriate for children, some wonder if drag acts are a Trojan Horse through which proponents smuggle into schools more politicised agendas, particularly those of trans rights.

This latter issue has been brought sharply into focus this month, after it emerged that an as yet unidentified drag queen told a classroom of 11 to 12-year-olds that there were ‘73 genders’.

She had been invited to give a sex education talk to Year 7 pupils at Queen Elizabeth II High School on the Isle of Man.

One child raised an objection, saying there were only two genders, for which he was asked to leave the room.

‘At his young age,’ his appalled mother explained to the Mail, ‘he should not be reprimanded for believing that genders are purely male and female. It is not an appropriate punishment, nor fair.’

In a separate incident at the same school, an 11-year-old girl said she had been left ‘sick and disgusted’ by a lesson about anal and oral sex.

Remember that trans people existed well before all of this shit we've been subjected to for the last several years, and they lived their lives just fine, no better or worse than anyone else. It wasn't until the grifters, the maniacs, and (most relevant here) the perverts realized that claiming trans identity allowed them to bypass a lot of barriers that had previously kept them from their respective desires that this really kicked off.

The link between drag and trans was established by TRAs who wanted to claim the various historical actions of the former for latter (most notably in the form of Marsha P. Johnson, a drag queen associated with the Stonewall Riots, whom TRAs have repeatedly attempted to claim was actually trans). It shouldn't come as any surprise then that, having coopted being trans in pursuit of their goals, the people from those three groups would further coopt anything linked to trans as well.

The linked article has a section by Debbie Hayton where they acknowledge the fact that until very recently trans people used to hate drag queens because they saw drag as being a mockery of them.

Being from a very liberal area, I was taught to enjoy drag queens, but I stopped enjoying them when the same men mocking femininity started insisting they really are women.

like how trans and NB are actually completely contradictory premises and people cottoned on and

(and that's sorta unfair to drag queens, who at least know what shampoo is--dare to compare: a man in heels and ridiculous hair on the left, and a greasy motherfucker with a knife stab to the taint on the right; even their physiques match otherwise)
