I saw this story about 'Desmond, the 10 year old drag superstar at NYFW' from vogue on my FB feed and find it massively concerning, equally concerned about people who think it's ok! (Though the majority seem to agree with me) If this were a girl, surely it would be universally condemned as sexualising a child? What does everyone else think?

Are you all happy with Lactitia?

I would think Fashion Shows are an adult environment for a child to be. And his language isn't really what you would expect from a 10 year old. How would he know about "coming out" at 10?

picklemepopcorn not sure that the link you provided is a very objective source of news re: Lactitia. Seems to be an anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ, religious site so likely to be rather skewed in it's reporting.

That was the first link I found when I googled, sorry. I should have checked. I came across Lactitia in a very admiring video article. Absolutely charming child, but what he is learning and teaching about sexuality is disturbing. They turn him into a bit of a Lolita.
