Why are adult men being invited into Haringey libraries, this weekend, to read to young children ? How is a man dressed in a lurid, grotesque parody of a woman, a role model ? For what ? It can’t be inclusiveness, Drag-queens, like strippers and pornstars do not need protecting.

Young children should not be influenced into believing that sex and gender are interchangeable, this promotes harmful sexist tropes. They do not need to be confused by incomprehensible and nonsensical practices for the amusement of adults.
