Rs are terminally out of touch with normal people

Where did I say that trans and drag queens are the leading cause of sexual abuse for children? You don’t have to create a fictitious narrative in order to defend exposing kids to essentially porn parades. Leave the sexual crap out of pride parades and you’ll get more support. Why on earth is it suddenly important for drag queens to have a kids’ story hour? |

They could but oh, the opportunity to virtue signal that they would miss means being blackballed from social events in the liberal sphere. Show your support or be banned! |

What a misogynist apologist you are. You get every point wrong here in your desperate attempt to justify sexism because a group you like is perpetrating it. I don’t care what drag queens think they are doing. I care what they are doing, which is mocking an oppressed group. It’s punching down. It does not matter to me that they are gay men. They are still men and in a patriarchal, misogynist society, they still hold power over women. That is in fact why you rarely see drag kings; they are punching up, so they aren’t as popular. Or are you okay if other marginalized groups wear the logo of the Washington team, because their being marginalized excuses the racism? Does being part of one marginalized group excuse their racism against another to you? Or do you only expect women to absorb misogyny because it is perpetuated by a marginalized group? I am a woman, I can identify mocking from men when I see it. Or are you going to gaslight me and say that actually only men get to define when sexism happens? That would be in keeping with your world view, I suppose. As for women who rock a drag queen look, they are actually women and what is mockery and insult from men is showing power as women. Dolly Parton is being herself when she dresses the way she does. Tell me, are you okay with a bunch of white people dressing as geisha girls for fun? Or as Native Americans? Do you celebrate the Washington team’s mascot? Because all of that’s no different than drag. The only difference is that you like the group that does drag, and want to excuse the vicious sexism and misogyny behind drag. |

It's you who think what drag queens do is mocking. It's all on YOU. I'm a woman who rejects most of the stereotypical female look (done hair, nails, makeup, dresses, heels) but I have no problem with people who take it on. I personally think RuPaul is stunning when in drag. He is just being himself and he is beautiful. And I don't think for 2 seconds that you care about actual sexism. Let's hear some of your other political positions and which feminist thinkers most influences your beliefs about gender inequality. |

There you go again with the false narratives. Contrary to your lies, most pride events are not "porn parades" and have become much more friendly to families and children in the last decade. Are there gay or trans event where children should not permitted? Yes. And most of those venues post warnings that these are not suitable for children and some also ban people under 18 from entering. As a parent, I see no issue with drag queen story hour, which in my opinion, is a great way to learn about creativity, humor, and free-expression. I'd send my kid to pride or drag queen story hour any day over sending them to a Church. They would far safer at Pride than in the company of a Priest or Youth Pastor in a church. |

You didn’t answer any of my questions, I assume because you are okay with all the scenarios I laid out. I’m not okay with any of them, but as you are okay with excusing misogyny I assume you are also okay with excusing racism. I’ll give you my list of go-to feminist scholars after you answer my questions, not that I expect you’ve read or understood any of the scholars. My other political positions: pro gun-control, pro legal immigration, pro public education (but not exposing elementary students to graphic sexual material), pro environment, generally pro labor but not when labor embraces sexism (e.g. not advocating on behalf of childcare workers). You know no matter how much you debase yourself to gain favor from men, misogyny doesn’t go away? You can pretend the sexism in drag isn’t there because you want to be a pick-me, but it doesn’t erase it. |

I wouldn’t send my kids to either. Their safety is more important to me than gaining external approval. |

Trans are hell bent on sinking the whole Alphabet crew and folks should be scared. Republicans have been given the perfect issue to make inroads into rolling back LGB rights under the guise of "protecting kids" from trans ideology. Liberals are going to lose this one because even normal people are opposed to what trans activists are demanding.
But that said, Republicans and Democrats have become mirrors of each other. Neither party seems to give a crap what normal people think and only cater to fringe ideas and politics. |

The only people making noise about Trans are the GOP.
I thought they were supposed to be more Libtertarian, but I guess that is another thing they lie about. So much for live and let live. |

Now, you're just lying. Have you not heard the very loud voice of trans activists shutting down anyone who disagrees with their ideology? |

I find your use of the word “think.” The entire trans movement is people who were born one sex but “think” they are another. |

As someone with a severe congenital defect, I would like to tell you how horrible it makes me feel to hear people like you toss around the word "normal" like this. Thanks for making me feel like cr@p. --fringe person who does not feel welcome in our society because of people like you. |

You're a conservative in drag as a liberal. Ha ha. Enjoying your persona? |

No, I’m just more sophisticated and nuanced than you. I get that what I wrote is too hard for you to understand. Your desperate need to carry water for misogynist men is sad but the world is moving on from people like you. You’re a racist anyhow. Good riddance. |
