These young 'drag artists' all appear to have 'fallen in love with the art form' after watching Rupauls Drag Race. It's a reality TV game show that's been running in the states for a few years and is available in the UK via Netflix. It's purpose appears to be to bring queerness into mainstream media under the guise of entertainment. For anyone that's never watched it then this will give you a taste

There is also a convention for real enthusiasts with under tens admitted free when accompanied by an adult. A few kids enjoying themselves at the 2018 convention, many more can be seen on Twitter

As the TV production has been shown on Netflix for a few years, we also have children in the UK who enjoy drag. Violet Vixen (AKA Leo Noakes) is one of our better known ones and has been in the media several times. They were award the Young Spirit of Corby for being 'truly inspiring' at an award ceremony hosted by Corby Borough Council in 2018

I'm sure we will soon be seeing many more similarly inspiring young children as the good old Beeb will be bringing a UK version of Rupauls Drag Race to our screens later this year.

What's not to like?

Poor boy . What is this world coming to???

Well done for posting a link to this thread on the AIBU thread about Twitter, Datun. Hope it makes the usual FWR bashers who turned up on the thread have a little think.

Is there a way of reporting this to Canadian authorities from the UK?
The best way would be to report it to the police, in the UK, and ask them to deal with it. They should then forward it to the relevant people in Canada. This could be done online.

Was that the thread posted under ethical dilemmas with an odd link? What was that all about?

Hi science, I fully agree words matter, But for once I did chose my words carefully here.

The image of Desmond in suggestive clothing, leaning towards a naked man in drag is clearly designed to titilate/sexually arose. That coarse sexual innuendo is a key component of drag culture, which is fine as long as children are not involved.

Perhaps you work in a field related to child protection and therefore know that the image would not qualify as child porn?

To me, however, it fits the definition as it’s an image designed to illicit sexual arosal.

Linda Lovelace was a porn star who didn’t consent, I am suggesting that Desmond is too (his lack of consent being driven by his age and subordinate position to his parents who are orchestrating this).

Sort of related, I think. Well it's linking drag to children (this time Mermaids charity):

"Calendar for Mermaids (charity for trans kids) full of kink and BDSM images. Normalising the sexualisation of kids (as we see already with drag ‘child stars’) and once again we see how pedophilia is one outcome of this men’s sexual movement"

Not sure I entirely agree with the tweeter's conclusion, but certainly some of the images are inappropriate for a children's charity calendar (nb the drag queens did it off their own bat, it's not an official Mermaids calendar).

Perhaps you work in a field related to child protection and therefore know that the image would not qualify as child porn?

The point is, that child 'porn' doesn't exist. Using phrases like 'child porn' is unacceptable.

Holy shit that calendar! I know Mermaids themselves didn't make this, but what the fuck? Raising money for kids by selling calendars with these sorts of images? In what other arena would that be in any way acceptable?

On Lactatia's page their bio says they are a 'baby drag queen'

Argh, this is making me so cross! And what's worse is the suggesting that anyone who has a problem with this 'a right wing bigot'. Just fuck off with that noise.

How is this allowed to continue? Does Canada (assuming PP is correct and that's where this child lives) have no child protection legislation at all?

Child porn does exist.. but I guess you are telling me that non pedophiles should call it images of child sexual abuse?

That's the generally agreed upon term, GCSoc.

Child pornography is the abuse of children as children cannot consent to the acts taking place. They are below the age of consent.

I have not clicked on any links in this thread (or elsewhere) but I think the point is twofold-

Phrases like child pornography normalise child abuse as pornography between adults is normalised and accepted in society (whatever one’s personal views on it)

Images of children naked, if not immediately pornographic, in a sexual or erotic context normalise the abuse of children.

Child porn does exist.. but I guess you are telling me that non pedophiles should call it images of child sexual abuse?

The second bit is right. Calling it “child porn” is not recognising that it shows abuse happening. I’ve written to the BBC about their use of the term and they’ve agreed to use the correct term “images of child sexual abuse” instead to avoid any ambiguity.

Nobody should call it 'child porn' - that normalises and sanitises what it is which is images of child sexual abuse.

Sexual abuse pure and simple. Just awful, I hate to think what he will think when he grows up.

Ok, point taken. I won’t call it CP anymore, though my aim was certainly not to normalise the imagery, quite the opposite, I am reeling that I live in a world when this imagery IS mainstream and IS regarded as unproblematic by very many.

Yes if the gay community don’t wake up to this soon they will find themselves in the same boat as old school transsexuals. The trans community infiltrated by paedophiles will turn on LGB claiming victimisation when the shit hits the fan.

I'm wondering if this is really the whole plan. Out right jealousy that so many people no longer see gay men and lesbians as deviants when they used to he considered paedos and perverts, that they are determined to force them back into that box. Mainly because it is impossible to say that children can consent to surgery and hormones and the damage and infertility they cause. and not consent to sex.

Ironic really given they all claim to just wabt to live their lives and be accepted and are harmless whilst simultaneously turning the old school transsexuals who are being respectful and understanding and daring to call them out on their behaviour and attitudes.

There is something very wrong with the people who are grooming the children to accept anyone and everyone in their space and not question why pervy men want to change with young girls. That's not coming from genuine trans people.

Turning on

No it was in the Paedophilia on Twitter thread in AIBU. No direct link.
