Drag Queen Story Time

"One comment I heard was that Mumsnet is 'notoriously anti-trans' and all this is stemming from ultra-right wing and US-based origins."

And as if to prove the point you post a link to a "trAnS pEoplE aRe baD" story by a US republican.

I don't see them as 'right wing nut jobs', they're just sensible men who are rightfully interested in protecting children.

These are the type of good men we've been asking to step up and help us fight this war.

Are you not troubled by their ignorance? And more so the people who are prepared to accept hearsay rather than assess matters for themselves?

In a recent interview, Genevieve Gluck observed that women and lesbians have been successful in closing down safeguarding threats to children in the 1970s—90s. Gluck thinks that this time around there has been a cultivated strategy to denigrate women (mostly mothers) and lesbians as TERFs and on political fringes in order to undermine safeguarding concerns.

If people are prepared to go by hearsay without checking how the person that they trust arrived by that opinion, well, I'd say that the strategy that Gluck outlines has been very successful and we may well find out what the consequences of that are for safeguarding.

I really really really hate the fact that the people protesting at the library seem like right wing nut jobs. It really does need protesting but they are so extreme, no one will ever really listen. Plus you can't call someone you don't know a sex worker.

Did she? Do you know what whoever claims that gives as the timestamp for that in the video, please?

Who said the existence of Lesbian, Gay, Bu-sexual and Transgender (which kind of transgender) people are a child safety concern?

Posie Parker in that video the police visited her about yesterday apparently.

Sorry you feel the existence of LGBT people is a child safety concern, you should meet more of us.

Please would you quote that thread?

People here are talking about transvestite males pushing their agendas onto children. They are not talking about transvestite males getting on with their own existences.

The idea of "market forces" applying to decisions made by library managers is particularly incorrect.

We'll be told "calm down dear" soon.
Market forces... As if we as mostly mothers care about that as a reason for things being. We want to protect children from harmful stereotypes and personal and sexual boundaries being weakened so that children are open to grooming.

The difference between panto and so-called 'drag' is that 'drag' is a highly sexualised activity. It is this that makes it unsuitable for children.

In panto, the dames do not exhibit sexualised behaviour or costumes.

Panto dames also have roots in Elizabethan theatre where the actors were always men and acted out the female roles.

If you are suggesting that so-called 'drag' is an appropriation of panto I would disagree because panto is nothing to do with sexual behaviours. Drag stands alone as something some gay men who hate women have created.

'frothing at the mouth'.

I find that astonishing, really. That someone comes on here and to women who are discussing how they feel about drag queens dressing as exaggerated parodies of women, says we are 'frothing at the mouth'.

What next? Are we 'shrill'? Are we 'spewing' words? Are we 'hysterical'?

It's the ad homs that really show you up, you know.

Some people would disagree. Recent times have seen drag appearing more and more on mainstream TV eg acts on Britain's got talent. It was seen as right on and progressive. To me it was just a shoe in for 3rd rate acts with limited talent. Take off the wig, heels and frock and there's nothing special at all. Same with drag comedians, in my opinion talentless. The novelty is wearing thin now.

Do you feel like apologising for your nasty insinuations in relation to my previous post, Hearach? Just wondering if you are prepared to acknowledge your hate.

I've posted a message about this to a neighbourhood website and it's been hidden (subject to review) as, according to the website, it's discriminatory, goes against their guidelines. One comment I heard was that Mumsnet is 'notoriously anti-trans' and all this is stemming from ultra-right wing and US-based origins.

What has U.S. based origins is Trans ideology and the terminology to go with it, and Drag Queen Story Time.

It is also a great capitalist enterprise.

'frothing at the mouth'

Nice.

Pointless posting that article, most of us aren't feminists 🤷‍♀️

I mean, it is, post anything about trans people and posters start frothing at the mouth:

Panto and drag are the sister acts. Both involve men dressing up in wigs and makeup.

Generations of British school children have survived unharmed such spectacles of shocking gender discombobulation.

People like them. It's called "market forces", things exist because there is a demand for them.

Wither freedom.

Thank God we live in a free society where you're not in charge.

Drag can be adult entertainment. It can also not be adult entertainment.

As I said in a previous post, I went to a bingo night where a drag queen called out bingo numbers - was that a sexual event? Not at all.

There was a woman there whose grandchild was sat in a corner doing some colouring. I can assure you the child emerged unharmed from the event.

To perpetuate 'inclusivity' and 'acceptance' to impressionable primary school children. Panto is one thing; adult dressing-up in a library in front of these children is another.

I'm another that thinks we should get them out of panto whilst we're at it.

Panto is one thing ..
