    You have quite literally stated before that you don’t like the stories bringing assault etc to light because it’s minority and “encourages more hate”

    the majority here are taking a very moderate approach, specifically in cases with minors and areas like sports but apparently it’s met with crazy militant attitudes

    everyone here, literally, supports transgender rights, and adults who wish to transition.

    all the left had to do was not come after kids.

    What kind of straw man would they have if they didn’t keep perpetuating this lie. It’s insincere virtue signaling to given themselves that dopamine rush. Unfortunately hardcore lefties are the same as trumpies

    Yes a constant cherry picked focus on bad behavior by trans and their supporters is just sticking up rage when by numbers trans people make up a small amount of the population. Compared that to the many incidents of assaults and threats made towards trends people.

    And just to note there is a lot of criticism of trans adults just in this very thread along with incidences of politicians calling them “ freaks and mutants”

    As for moderate positions will again note I’ve stated that I would leave it to leagues themselves to decide who can compete rather having blanket laws that dictate to sports leagues who can compete. It’s the other side that is pushing for absolutists laws.

    And if we to talk about a strawman and virtue signaling this is it. It’s the mistaken view that acceptance and tolerance is the same as “coming after”

    Let me ask you. Do you believe that just seeing a drag queen in any setting is grooming?

    Indoctrination warning. DIOT.

    I always wondered if people who are so afraid of Trans believe it can "spread"... got part of the answer in this article.


    An Anti-Trans Doctor Group Leaked 10,000 Confidential Files
    https://www.wired.com/story/american-college-pediatricians-google-drive-leak/

    A doctors’ organization at the center of the ongoing legal fight over the abortion drug mifepristone has suffered a significant data breach. A link to an unsecured Google Drive published on the group’s website pointed users last week to a large cache of sensitive documents, including financial and tax records, membership rolls, and email exchanges spanning over a decade. The more than 10,000 documents lay bare the outsize influence of a small conservative organization working to lend a veneer of medical science to evangelical beliefs on parenting, sex, procreation, and gender.


    ...

    Leaked communications between members of the group and minutes taken at board meetings over the course of several years speak loudly about the challenges the group faced in pursuing its deeply unpopular agenda: returning America to a time when the laws and social mores around family squared neatly with evangelical Christian beliefs.

    Many of the College’s most radical views target transgender people, and in particular, transgender youth. The leak, which had been indexed by Google, includes volumes of literature crafted specifically to influence relationships between practicing pediatricians, parents, and their children. It includes reams of marketing material the College aims to distribute widely among public school officials. This includes pushing schools to adopt junk science painting transgender youth as carriers of a pathological disorder, one that’s capable of spontaneously causing others–à la the dancing plague–to adopt similar thoughts and behaviors.

    This is one of the group’s most dubious claims. While unsupported by medical science, it is routinely and incuriously propagated through literature targeted at schools and medical offices around the US. The primary source for this claim is a research paper drafted in 2017 by Lisa Littman, a Brown University scholar who, while a medical doctor, was not specialized in mental health. The goal of the paper was to introduce, conceptually, “rapid onset gender dysphoria”—a hypothetical disorder, as was later clarified by the journal that published it. Littman would also clarify personally that her research “does not validate the phenomenon” she’d hypothesized, since no clinicians, nor individuals identifying as trans, had participated in the study.

    The paper explains that its subjects were instead all parents who had been recruited from a handful of websites known for opposing gender-affirmative care and “telling parents not to believe their child is transgender.” A review of one of the sites from the period shows parents congregating to foster paranoia about whether there’s a “conspiracy of silence” around “anime culture” brainwashing boys into behaving like girls; insights plucked in some cases straight from another, more insidious forum (widely known for reveling in the suicides of the people it has bullied).

    I believe that any sexualized performance is inappropriate for kids.

    You didn't answer the question. Unless that means that you mean that drag queens in general no matter what context is a sexualized performanc.

    Do you believe that just reading a story to a kid is a sexualized performance?

    I don't believe all drag queens are sexualized. Certainly not Dame Edna.

    but she's not who has been reading stories to kids.

    If done in lingerie, yes.

    if it includes a stripper pole, yes.

    if there’s twerking, yes.

    I've read articles and seen video of one. It doesn't appear to be sexualized. Also I'm asking for another person's opinion about what happened. That you consider that "dumbass questions" just show that you don't want an honest or open discussion.

    Here's a story with video about a drag queen story hour.

    For @basso and any other poster who would like to respond.
    Do YOU personally consider this to be a sexualized performance?
