Drag queens pose in bond age gear for calendar in aid of Mermaids

Some people seem to be OK with drag yet even they must see that drag is a celebration of male sexual culture. Why is this being made our children's business? Who benefits?

Absolutely this.

Is the right-hand picture that child posing with that murderer under a poster saying Rohypnol ?

What on earth is that middle picture?

Fuck this shit.

I'm going to suggest that any school that receives training from Mermaids should also have to display this calendar in their main reception

Obviously no head teacher worth their salt would do that, which just might give them reason to pause and think about who they are letting onto their premises to influence their students

Huh. Dunno what the fuss is about.

This is no different from WI doing a nude calendar.

Drag queen story time is no different from pantomime dames.

Drag kids like Lactatia and Desmond Is Amazing is no different from beauty pageants.

Nothing to see here

Very young children are very suddenly being introduced to drag culture in all sorts of ways. We should be able to talk about this as a thing in itself without being constantly exhorted to look over there at something else.

Do women dress up as men for late night raunchy laughs? Ever?

If this is about ‘asshole parents ‘ then centre the campaign on them, send men in drag into pubs around the country to spread the word.
Leave children out of a scenario, they need know nothing about.

Kindergartens are nurseries. Why do three or four year olds need to discuss hate speech nevermind in the context of adult males dressing as women. Four year olds are still making sense of the world with themselves at the centre of the universe, there is no need to make them aware of an adult man’s painful experiences.

Exactly this!

4 year olds still think the world revolves around them, they ain't gonna give a fuck about drag queens!

I don’t need to try to wind anyone up, even when I agree with you all, someone still gets their knickers in a twist over it

The article makes a good point, hate and discrimination is a learned behaviour it is not innate. If young kids can be taught about differences from a young age, it may help combat that. For example the books he’s reading To them, I know one of them is about a gay couple (penguin) that have a baby.

If you go in at age 10 for example with books about differences, people with asshole parents have already learnt their predjudices.

Earlywalker you are such a wind up merchant, the last sentence really gave it away 👸🏼

Kindergarden is an American term for first year of school starting at age 5, is it not? In the UK we call it nursery or preschool.
He’s reading a few books questioning gender stereotypes. He’s hardly gone in dressed in bondage telling them to accept self ID and do drag.
Drag queens accept they are men, I think it’s positive for kids to see men in dresses not being a woman, it’s great for questioning gender stereotypes.
I’m guessing they’ve chosen drag queens to do the talking as they stand out and so kids may listen to them? In the video he looks like the princesses you hire for parties.

Why should children be taught accept men in drag at all? . A lot of women think it's sexist.

Reception starts at age 5 in the U.K.
Kindergarten children are pre- schoolers at nursery.
Children see that people are different all around them; short, fat, brown, white, with disabilities. So what is it that is so different about men in drag that this cohort needs to be a special case for children to learn to be nice and accepting to? Nothing as far as I’m concerned, exactly what is it that I am missing here?

My four year old came home from kindergarten all disturbed one day, because some other 4 year old had said ‚I‘ll kill you‘ to him and some other boys- out of the blue. Wasn‘t sure if the boy could and would actually kill them, and why.

These are the kinds of issues around hate speech kids have in kindergarten, early, not questions around how they need to accept any possible self-ID. They won‘t. They’ll tell a bloke in a dress he‘s a bloke, some random person that they look old or have funny make up, and they‘ll tell their peer that, no he is not Superman with Superpowers (unless it is their best friend), and none of it is hate speech.

In the UK school starts at five. It's For nursery schools.

LONDON, England, November 14, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — Starting tomorrow, men dressed as women will be reading stories to children as young as two at a chain of London nursery schools.

Teaching children to be kind and respectful is good. A charity for children having a calendar with sexualised photographs of grotesque 'drag queens' parodying women and looking at porn is wrong - as is introducing drag queens into primary schools.
Little children should be protected from adults exhibiting extreme sexualised behaviour / dress.

Kindergarden starts at age 5
I don’t think it’s so bad to start teaching 5 year olds about people that are different. It obviously depends on the way they approached it and what was said but on the whole I think learning about acceptance and being nice to people that are different to you can be a good lesson for a 5 year old.

early

Yeah, you go and talk to two and three-year-olds about hate speech.

And don't forget to let them know that accurately identifying sex is all part of it.

Ffs.

If society as a whole is keen to foist troubling emotions on children, talk to them about not calling other children names, let them be children.
So no I never discussed hate speech with my child at age 4- Octonauts, yes.

There is a definite alliance somewhere. Because the drag queens going into kindergartens were addressing hate speech. That was their remit

I’m interested to hear why discussing hate speech is a negative? Do you not want your children to be brought up knowing that hate speech is wrong?

A lot of drag queens will have faced some kind of hate speech in their lives, as gay men or drag acts, why would they not want to raise awareness and discuss it?

Boundaries are just so conservative, man. You're just so uptight.

So they seemed to be blurring the lines between trans and drag, themselves.
