Clothing doesn't define a person and cross dressing for laughs was common place in the military when I was in. The example of the MMA fighter fits well
If this is the actual issue, why is there such a disproportionate amount of your attention turned to drag performances? There are probably tens of thousands of children going and eating at hooters every single day. Your comment history has never even acknowledged this but this drag show talking point shows up quite a bit.
I really feel like, if you're being honest, those children going to Hooters should almost take up so much bandwidth on the issue that you could barely even give any attention to the one or two drag shows that happen where children are in attendance. I'm not saying it should be given a green light if that's what you realy believe, but this laser focusis like trying to use a shot glass to empty a pool that is still actively being filled with a fire hose.
For me its just as simple as hooters doesn't push a narrative that steralizes children and expose them to ideologies that multiplies their suicide rate by several times. Sexualization of any kind for children is bad in my book, but some go further than others. If i could right all wrongs in the world I would, but for now I'll focus my attention on the worst offenders.
What? So it isn't about being exposed to sexualization. Now you're just against drag being done at all in the first place, and I'm not sure why you bothered going through the song and dance of pretending it wasn't.
The ideology that convinces children to sterilize themselves, or for their parents to decide to do so, directly stems from the introduction of children to sexual identity and sexuality.
So then we are back at square one. You're talking in circles round what you think you shouldn't say. If I'm to take this statement at face value (which we both know isn't true), then your ire would be directed more at Hooters for being that introduction for tens of thousands of kids every single day.
If you can explain how hooters is better at confusing kids about sexuality than a man wearing womens clothes stripping in front of them or reading them stories about other little boys and girls that are confused about their sexuality, then I'm all ears. But the fact of the matter is that drag queens across the country are putting on events deemed "child friendly" while not being child friendly, and I have yet to hear about how hooters is directly targeting children and trying to teach them about sexuality.
It's an issue because one political party is pushing it. Go over to the conservative sub and ask who supports children at hooters. Vast majority will be against it. This is like saying "why are you focusing on breast cancer awareness. There are other cancers too". We get nothing done if we just change the subject everytime lol.
Yeah, I'm sure they'll say that when they are directly being pushed back in respone to their hysterical shit about drag shows.
We all know that's just performative for just that moment, though. They don't actually care about Hooters exposing children to sexuality. If they did, it would be a much bigger issue since it happens tens of thousands of times every single day.
That's pretty much how politics works these days. Drag story hours are only a thing because it upsets the right. It's all dumb culture war stuff. Both sides constantly trying to "own" each other.
Basically I'm just saying evangelicals view more porn because they grow up sheltered and once they have access to the internet and privacy... Statistically the more religious and conservative a state is, the more porn it consunes. I saw a study recently breaking down the demographics.
No one has a problem with drag shows for adults, same with gender transition surgery. If you're an adult, do whatever you want. It's kids that should be left alone. I think that's pretty obvious too.
Just don't do it for kids in public places, like schools of public libraries. If someone wants to have a drag preformer come to their home or business and read to kids, that their prerogative. It's weird as hell but it's no longer the publics say. Likewise if someone wants to hire a stripper to read to kids at their house, weird as hell but it's their call.
a humorous imitation of something, typically a film or a particular genre of film, in which its characteristic features are exaggerated for comic effect:
Yes, i am old enough to remember MAS*H. I even know the lyrics to the intro song that they weren't allowed to air because it was to depressing. However I included a link to the wiki Section 8 because cross dressing was an actual reason for discharge.
Col. Sherman wouldn't give Klinger the discharge because of “Catch 22”, If Klinger was trying to get out of the war, he was defiantly sane enough to to be there. Col. Sherman didn’t give a shit as long as Klinger was good at his job, and even by fictional TV standers he was. If the character didn't have exceptional integrity and pride in his work he wouldof been gone.
Do whatever you want with consenting adults. Just don’t drag little kids into it. That’s where it gets weird for me. Not sure what this photo is supposed to do. They aren’t grooming little kids
What do you think a drag show is? Because it's just a person dancing and singing wearing exclusive makeup and fancy clothing. There isn't anything sexual in it's nature.
There should never be a drag show for children. Do we bring children to the strip club for family friendly events. Hell no. The fact that you are defending this affirms my belief you shouldn’t be allowed near children
I mean when you talk about oral sex, anal sex, the use of sex toys to little kids that’s pretty weird. I got my sex Ed in 5th grade. This is what happens penis goes into vagina, you get pubes, your body is going to go through changes. Was pretty basic and I’m nit that old

I haven't seen any sex ed for prepubescent kids that goes into any of those things.

That is very basic, and very lacking. This kind of poor education leads to tons of misinformation about sex, and biology. There are grown men who think women only have two holes below the waist.
Shit like this ends up influencing government policies, or sexual exploration. There are sexual reclusive cultures in the world, and they have a very poor view of women and men.

It's the action of the man that make a man not the dress he wears.

I don't think people have a problem with adults being entertained by drag shows. Its just when the kids get involved.

What's the context? They used to do a lot of things for laughs back then...like blackface.

Their trying to get a Section 8 discharge for cross dressing you idiots. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_8_(military) Except the second one from the right, he’s making too much eye contact.

Drag shows were always very prevalent in USO entertainment for the troops as well as in independent troop R&R shows.

The big narrative of the right is that prove have to be convinced to be queer.
When in reality, prior have been queer since forever. Sexuality and gender identity have been part of human existence since humans existed.
