Glitter holes, and children's library sessions

[KatvonHostileExtremist]

So while I was out and about watching TRAs destroy John Boyne, I came across this story.

www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/drag-story-time-event-for-children-cancelled-at-dublin-library-after-backlash-38015705.html

I know we've debated if these events are appropriate before, but this one really struck me. The name of the drag collective is Glitter Hole, and their profile pic is a pink bum.

They is, of cause, much wailing and fainting over the horror they might not be age appropriate for 3-7 year olds. But I'm thinking their name probably isn't? For sure!

Mummy, mummy, what's a glitter hole? Can I make one?

Erm....

MK is very insulated by fame and wealth these days - even her novels are centred around journalism, PR, the arts, beauty and fashion, it's a pretty narrow world. She's been exposed to gender critical feminism before - when she made some clueless joky remark about "getting told off by a terf!" some women tried to explain what was going on but she wasn't interested. So I don't expect much critical thinking there.

Quite. Its rather concerning that 'queer rolemodel' seems to almost alway mean sexualised males, rarely age appropriate. And of course anyone who complains is bigoted

I think the word queer was brought back and re defined precisely to add a "layer of victimhood" that wpuld enable these grown men to parade their fetish in front of children unchallenged
