    I don't care about your attempt to create nuance among a group of people that want to put on gstrings and hover around children.

    You care enough to try to make it look like the drag queens get turned on by crossdressing which you then claim proves something sinister about their motivation.

    Then all of a sudden someone comes along and smashes your core premise and you're not even interested to learn.

    No matter. Others will understand even if you don't.

    I didn't try to make anything look like anything.

    I linked to the fact that transvestites do it for sexual reasons.

    You want us to sift through the clowns to find the sexually stimulated ones.

    No thanks.

    And I countered with evidence that drag queens aren't transvestites who do it for sexual reasons.

    That's the core reason you were making a claim against them and it turns out not to be true.

    Actually I sifted through them for you so you don't have to do a thing.

    I want you to get your facts straight before you start saying things like:

    "You'd think they'd spent 2 minutes looking things up before they post, but I'll go ahead and prove they don't for the second time in just this thread."

    And then effectively proving just the opposite of what you were claiming.

    Well not if it stands in the way of a nice morning's bigot trolling I suppose?

    Yeah, you're trying to build some kind of nuance to why they do it.

    There's no justifiable reason for them to do it at all around kids.

    The reason someone wants to confuse kids by pretending to be a woman isn't an issue that needs "looking up".

    But you are OK with corporate sexualisation of children?

    The technique of desensitization has proven to be very effective in changing the cultural perspective on morality. The earlier you can get to children with your moral standards the easier it will be to shift the morals of society. With parents becoming less involved with their children's education this process has a greater chance of success. The one thing they weren't counting on was the covid lockdowns by which parents had no choice but to get involved.

    No, you're the one making a direct, outright and errant claim about why they do it and I'm countering your nonsense with the actual facts.

    Why aren't you interested in the actual facts even when they are served up on a plate for you?

    Do what? Dress up in outlandish costumes and entertain them. It's been going on for centuries. Why is it all of a sudden such a big deal?

    I saw pantomimes when I was kid and even at that age I was in no way confused that Widow Twanky was an actual woman. It was just silly fun and I knew it. Kids aren't that stupid.

    Which is more damaging - a man in drag?
    upload_2022-11-30_4-32-39.jpeg

    Or corporate advertising exploiting children?

    Which one is more likely to lead to predation?

    As with a lot of things Republican there is a “look the other way” aspect to this. Australia and the UK are hard on corporations trying to exploit children but money talks and the American right has always prayed to the gods of capitalism

    Are they? Are you honestly trying to contend that every advertising agency putting out ads that show sexualisation of children are actually run by Drag Queens?

    A woman is an outlandish costume?

    I tell you what.

    If they want to dress up as Secretariat and put liptstick on it go right ahead.

    That's funny though. I don't remember these pantomime horses from childhood that received congratulatory tweets from the satanic church.

    Go engage someone else, I have little interest in giving things to you for you to run to the manager about.

    Nope a drag queen is often an outlandish costume and not one that will fool a kid into thinking the wearer is a woman.

    I'm sure you'll try.

    Have you ever watched a Maleficent movie?

    Take your men dressed up in eye burning horrific ways and let them read books at your house.

    The rest of us are not interested in exposing our children to this insanity.

    I've already explained that responding to you is not worth the time, so don't make me waste any more.

    My kid's in his 30s now so I could care less one way or the other but I do care when people use issues like this to make up nasty and unfounded claims about whole groups of people based on nothing other than the way they look.

    Like it or not, you did that on here when you levied the claim that drag queens get a sexual frisson out of wearing women's clothes and that they "liked to be around children (para)" when so aroused. That's a horrible thing to say about people especially when it is not true.

    I wouldn't care if my kid took his kids to Drag Queen Story Hour.

    Just think about it for one minute. What do you thing is going to actually arouse a gay man, ladies langerie or hard hats and cowboy boots (or whatever)?

    Your contentions just don't make any sense beyond the level of "anyone I don't like the look of is a pedophile".

    Unfortunately, there's too much of that around at the moment and that won't stop real pedophiles from actually harming children.

    You want to be concerned about something? Why not be concerned about that?

    Yeah well unlike you I actually care about kids other than my own.

    No group of men dressed up unironically as women need to be around kids. Full stop.

    Call me whatever names you want. I don't care.

    I'm not sure that applies to drag queens.

    I'm not calling you anything. I've only called out made claims that were unsubstantiated.

    Trans people have existed for quite a while throughout virtually all civilizations, it is just becoming more prevalent in the west. I know a few trans people of various ages and while it is definitely easier for the younger generations several of them were not accepted by their parents. The only ones I know that were kicked out of their homes were older ones so hopefully it is a dying trend.

    I agree it is “much ado about nothing” but likely from the opposite end — trans people should be accepted as who they are and treated equally.

    Yes, any adult that wants to change sex is free to do so in my view.

    But I strongly object to what has been happening in that regard with young people, minors. Vanderbilt and Boston Children's Hospital and others have blood on their hands.

    You just defended creating a safe place for pedophiles to work. An 'escape' button in case the parents walk into the room? On a State Education website? No. It is perfectly proper for parents to object to that. And demand it be removed.
    I understand that you want a safe space for LGB youth to be able to converse freely, but, this isn't the way because it also creates a space for pedos to work, and that cost exceeds the potential benefit.

    Read this slowly and work to internalize it. The State does NOT have the right to circumvent parents who are NOT breaking the law. Learn to respect the rights of others.

    From what I have read most of these sites are very heavily monitored to prevent sexual activity or instances of predation.

    I fully support spaces be available to at risk populations where they can receive support or counseling, especially if their household is what is placing them at risk.

    Households are putting them 'at risk' for what?
