I have a stupid question: why does drag reading hour even exist? Drag people are not all encompassing of trans or LGBT+ identities. If we want kids to be empathetic towards people different from them and teach them that it’s okay to question your gender, then let’s have trans reading hour. To me drag queens are performers, so having them be a role model for kids is the same as having Kim Kardashian or other reality performers be a role model for kids.

Anyone who knows how I post knows I am not anti-trans or a transphobe. I just question anything that doesn’t make sense to me.

Because otherwise the top Google results for "rainbow dildo butt monkey" would be something much more horrifying. And if you do search for that, that story is what every right winger out there is thinking of when you mention drag reading hour.

Sometimes little chonco. Grown ups wear dresses. It is for fun.

Of you don't teach them that its shameful to stray outside your assigned gender norms in the first place, you have no trouble explaining people wearing people's clothes.

Not to let reality get in the way of a good joke, but more than likley the sort who has this opinion, either does not send their child to school, or also has a problem with schools.

I love the way you opened with "not to let reality get in the way of a good joke" and then proceeded to make up your own version of reality that you liked better than the one being presented to you.
