Barnardo's present Drag Queen Story Time

Hey, if you're near Glasgow, bring your kids along to Barnardo's drag queen story time. Increase your child's creativity by introducing them to a man with massive false tits, parodying a hyper sexualised 'woman' while reading a childish fairy story.

Don't like the sound of it? Then you're the problem. After all this is being laid on by one of the UK's most esteemed childrens' charities, experts on child wellbeing.

FFS, where do we go from here? Not any lower that's for sure.

This Barnardos?

'CHILDREN’S charity Barnardo’s systematically destroyed records at its residential care homes where child sex abuse occurred over three decades – but claimed to victims that files had been lost in a flood.

The organisation’s solicitor made the shock admission to the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry. Victims of abuse say they have been left “distressed” by the revelation that the charity had a policy of disposing of files when they shut care homes where abuse happened in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.'

Poor old Dr Thomas Barnardo must be turning in his grave.

Almost all the different parts of the gender identity ideology seem to focus on one thing: the dislike of the female body.

Drag queens make fun of it, trans men dislike being reminded of it as they have it, trans women dislike being reminded of it for the opposite reason, female people who identify as nonbinary dislike being reminded of it as they wish to be seen as bodiless (but still have all the sex-based rights).

The one place where it is not at all challenged today must be porn.

Yeah, I'm so intolerant I let my kids learn about gay and lesbian people by y'know being around gay and lesbian people. The sort of people who, while extraordinarily special to us, could easily be mistaken for 'normal' members of the community, not an oversized appendage amongst them - well, certainly not around the children.

For years my children didn't ask the status of each couples relationship.When they did, we told them. Being told this neither damaged them nor did it 'increase their creativity' in any way.

'oh, right.' was their entirely appropriate response. Revelations about Father Xmas and the tooth fairy will be off the scale in comparison.

Barnardo's on the other hand seem to be suggesting that there is something unnatural and freakish about homosexuality. Yet it's folk like me who are wrong thinking apparently.

This.

OP no you're not wrong I'm just glad people 'get' this on this message board. FYI anyone I've mentioned this to irl has said that's a bit much, a couple of people got a bit angry. Normal people. Not activists in any way.

Adult entertainment, which adults can opt in or out of (out thanks, nothing but a misogynistic and hypersexualised representation of a woman). Kids.... let's just force them right into it. So irresponsible, I'm really angry and am writing to whomever I can think of to make this known. Arghhhh.

Reddit banned all the subreddits that were for actual women and lesbians to talk to each other, if transwomen were excluded.

Subreddits for porn, including exceptionally violent and degrading porn, that exclude transwomen are still allowed.

What is the obsession with making adult entertainment family friendly. What’s next, stripping?

To be fair, there was Arts Council support The Family Sex Show which was all about sex education for children and could involve naked adults.

It's quite the year and we're not into Summer holiday season. Will we have something beyond libraries and the Rainbow Dildo Butt Monkey (have I remembered that correctly?) this year?
