Drag Queen story time and The National Gallery

[NellieEllie]

Just spotted this. 30th June. The “gender fluidity of childhood”. Giving children “queer role models”. Good Grief. www.nationalgallery.org.uk/events/drag-queen-story-time-30-06-2019

Just spotted this. 30th June. The “gender fluidity of childhood”. Giving children “queer role models”.

Do children need queer role models? Is it possible for children to be queer?

It's about teaching children that it's really quite normal for a man to dress up as a parody of a woman. It's teaching children that it's fine and definitely ok to mock, belittle and generally take the piss out of women. It's teaching children that women definitely don't matter.

It is a recruitment ground be for more "Desmond is Amazing" type performers?

Perhaps refer back to this?

Yes Jackie Holyoake
I read that transgender trend article and I definitely think that it's all about getting rid of sexual boundaries around children.

Why? Some have seen the opportunity is there right now to go public with their kinks and fetishes, so have jumped on the bandwagon, because you can now denounce anyone objecting as a bigot and have the establishment, inc the police, support you.

The Royal Opera House is also having a Drag Queen story time as part of it's up coming Pride event for families.

This is a session with autistic children. All I would say is, no I don’t like it, but he does wear just outrageous, rather than typical kink clothes, and this seems less inappropriate than the American stuff....

With special guest Olly Pike of Pop‘n’Olly.

Oh, fabulous. Pop'n'Olly of No Outsiders fame. Pop'n'Olly of the YouTube video encouraging very young children to fill out the government GRA consultation using answers pre-supplied by Stonewall.

Apart from the inappropriateness, when I was young I was terrified of the drag queens I saw. Will little children actually enjoy it?

surely the best way to show fluidity of gender and role models is to have people that the kids might identify with because they are just normal people. But people doing stuff that challenges the gender stereotype.
Men who do ballet. Women wrestlers. Female scientists, male make up artists. But just normal 'nothing to see here' people. That would probably have the biggest impact as its something that kids would say 'I can do that'

I cant speak for anyone elses kids but mine hate people dressed up in costumes. No day out pics here shaking hands with chase from paw patrol. They even hate the one in Franky and Benny's when the dress up and bring out the cake

Theres no reason for it. They have not had any bad experiences with anyone in costumes. They just hate them

I don't think I'd get them within 15 feet of a drag queen.

With the possible exception of female wrestlers I'm really puzzled at the idea that the other examples are "challenging gender stereotypes". These are just things that people do.

They also have a drag king and it is only one item in a very full programme, which includes a section on "trouser roles" in opera ( male characters sung by female contraltos)

Small kids are often scared by tall, broad figures in caricature costume and face make up so I would be interested to see how they deal with that issue in a child-centred way.

The very last thing any parent should want for their child is a 'queer role model' :( :( :(

You'd really think that at this stage organisations would understand when they're being groomed.

chatty
I hope they dont.

Adults talking themselves out of feeling what they are feeling "to be nice" is a huge problem. It stops us from acting on things and seeing what's in front of us.

Kids haven't reached that part yet. Being unable to identify someone and assess their surroundings is a natural process. No one who wants to erase that us anyone you want around your kids

Just a little blackface so that's ok then.

This is the overton window shift. This is what happens when safeguarding is nudged aside bit by bit. Fetish and children do not belong in the same room or sentence. Force acceptance through over familiarity, punish, exclude and mock boring hateful dissenters. Does this behaviour sound familiar?

Sorry messed up. Being able to identify someone is important to them.

Being unable to do that rightly makes them uneasy

What is the gender fluidity of childhood?

It's a reference to the innocence of childhood. It's a valuable commodity because it presents an unparalleled indoctrination opportunity.

Two convicted child sex offenders did Drag Queen Story Time at Houston Public Library. The library didn't bother to check their backgrounds beforehand.

Cos it never happens

Clearly not.

I used to be really scared of clowns.
It looks like drag "artists" are becoming the new clowns.
At least clowns did jokes and magic, didn't just take the piss out of women for fun.
