Regarding sexualized drag shows for LITTLE CHILDREN:

OK so here's my take.

The first video in the link you posted in the OP was completely milquetoast. I can't see anybody being offended or even confused about seeing an obviously middle aged man dressed as an even older granny flouncing around what looked like a burger bar in the broad daylight performing to a bunch of mostly middle aged women. Yes she flashed her granny knickers but like I say that's a pure pantomime thing. Kids would probably think it was just funny.

I did think the second video was not appropriate for kids and was pretty tasteless overall but I'd still bring into question whether it was sexualizing them. In fact I can't think of anybody who'd find that remotely sexual. Some older people might find it funny in a bar or club but they're not likely to find it "sexual" since it's a pure parody of female "stripper" sexuality. Who would that appeal to on an actual sexual level? No-one I can think of. Some might call it misogynistic and I might tend to agree.

As for drag queens dressed in totally outrageous costumes which wouldn't look out of place in a Disney fantasy movie just reading stories to kids, I fail to see what all the fuss is about.

You asked and that's my honest take based on actual materials as presented.

 

Well, singing “My p—y good / p—y sweet /p—y good enough to eat,”
adds a level of sexuality to the performance

 

Maybe in fun to the middle aged women in the audience but the sole kid there looked so young if anything they probably thought the guy was miming to a song about a cat.

 

The vicious attack on children by some of the Left must be stopped.

LICENSED BARBARISM: The Most Passionate Science Deniers Are Pro-Trans ‘Experts’ Who Profit From Carving Up Kids.

'Of course, the elephant in the room is that studies on transition, and especially transitioning children, are overwhelmingly conducted by those whose careers depend upon proving the benefits of transition. The doctors who are chemically castrating teenage boys, or amputating the healthy breasts of adolescent girls, are all-in. To admit that these procedures are a mistake would be a confession of horrific, possibly even criminal, medical malpractice that would end their careers.'

Credentialed Uncharged Felons

'Likewise, many of the formerly respectable gatekeepers of medicine and scientific research have been deeply compromised by transgender ideology. From medical associations to hospitals, there is a multitude of people who are in too deep to admit error, even as transgender ideology collapses.'

Psychopathic Mutilators Operating In Plain Sight.

'The fact-free nature of transgender ideology is apparent in the latest standards of care issued by WPATH (World Professional Association of Transgender Health), a pro-trans group that is treated as the leading authority on transgender medicine. The organization eliminated many of its recommended age restrictions for medical transition in order to protect from malpractice claims physicians who were transitioning children younger than the previous standards — after all, doctors can’t violate a standard of care that doesn’t exist. And bizarrely, WPATH declared “eunuch” to be a valid gender identity, a decision reached, in part, by relying on online forums filled with violent fantasies of child sexual abuse.'

The Political Activists have displaced the Intellectuals in organization after organization.

'These cranks and creeps have captured the establishment, from medicine to academia to the Democratic Party. And they intend to use their power to intimidate and silence critics. They do not care that their attempts are dishonest and incoherent. For instance, the NEJM writers admit that the scientific “consensus is ever evolving,” yet they posit this as a reason to shut down debate and deregulate transitioning children.'

The only legitimate authority in our system is derived from our consent. We need to make it unmistakable that this does NOT have our consent, and therefore illegitimate maiming of our most helpless and trusting.

'Future generations will look back on ours as butchers of children, because that’s exactly what’s happening.'

Indeed. We need to effectively communicate to our State Legislatures that this must cease NOW!

 

What does this have to do with Drag Queens?

 

Nothing, it's all just a huge excuse to vent.

 

DQSH, contextualizes the programme within the landscape of gender in education as well as within the world of drag, and argues that Drag Queen Story Hour provides a generative extension of queer pedagogy into the world of early childhood education.

Queer pedagogy (QP) is an academic discipline devoted to exploring the intersection between queer theory and critical pedagogy, which are both grounded in Marxist critical theory.

"Queer" includes everything other than cisgendered heterosexuals including the transgender.
And it often seems that many drag queens are just in the early stages of their switch to a female identity.

 

I am just wondering why transgender is being conflated with drag queens. One dresses to match their gender identity, the other does it to dress as a woman for entertainment purposes. That critical theory stuff is bull pooh. Where did you get the idea that many drag queens are in the early stages of their switch to a female identity. Back that up with some actual proof.

 

While they are definitely 2 different things, a decent amount of them DO come out as trans
https://gayety.co/21-drag-race-queens-who-have-come-out-as-trans

Of course there are also many DGs that live their lives as men and do it as a profession.

I personally don't think they should be allowed to perform as drag queens if they do any kind of hormones or surgery. The whole point of DG is looking as womanly as possible without actually being a woman (but thats just my opinion so don't go nuts on me)

 

A decent amount is 21? I think it’s up to individuals how they behave in terms of entertaining as a drag queen.

 

Because Queer theory conflates them with draq queens.

 

Ru Paul, or something like that, host of some drag queen reality show and contest once said he would never let a trans woman compete, and he was resoundingly condemned. Now they have transgendered competing with the drag queens

 

That defeats the purpose. Many of them do look like women after all the transition stuff. Kind of defeats the purpose IMO

 

That was Ru Pauls opinion, I believe, until he received the backlash.

 

It wasn't an opinion. It was FACT. If we are supposed to consider Trans women to be "women" then they cannot be drag queens.
drag queen
noun

1. A man, especially a performer, who dresses as a woman.
2. A male who dresses up in women's clothing, typically for public performance. The man's clothing and makeup are typically greatly exaggerated, so the end result is typically a parody of women in general.

 

What do Drag Queens have to do with little children?

 

That part is a pretty good description of many trans women. I get your point, but terms like man and woman have an objective meaning. These gender identities or labels like drag queen are subjective and mean whatever the subject wants them to mean.
The drag queens probably also have some men, who actually "identify" as non binary, pretending to be a male "who dresses up in women's clothing". Not going to be too concerned if the drag queens include some trans women or non binary. Hell, in the spirit of inclusion, where dudes who identify as girls can dominate in womens sports, I think some smokin hot babe, who identifies as a man, should be able to dominate the drag queen pageant circuit if she wants.

 

One of authors in linked paper is founder of Draq Queen Story Hour. A non profit that arranges many of these events. Quick text search looks like about 60 uses of the word "children" in their academic paper on the topic. Its ALL ABOUT the children.

Why Are Some of the Left So Obsessed With Harming Children?



'What is this obsession with hurting innocent children by artists, movie makers, and those who run ad agencies and fashion houses? Are kids the only forbidden fruit that’s left for these sickos to exploit?'

Vile.

'One of the images “includes a Michael [Borremans] art book. His work has featured nude children and adults engaging in acts of violence, including cannibalism.”'

WTH? Why?

Nice to see sensible folks standing up against this.
