...

honestly have never encountered drag queens throughout the entirety of my life outside of that one arc in one piece

one of em stole my amazon package a while back

My kids wont grow up in america so idc

idk but i'll definitely shield them from furries

I mean no I'm not out here trying to expose my 4 year old to 21+ drag shows but I'm also not going to shield my kid from the existence of drag queens or speak poorly of them. They're just people living their lives.

I don't think they'll care about drag queens, let alone know about them until later on in their adult years.

As long as they learn to treat everyone like a human being, I've done my job.

No. I was fortunate enough to grow up in a diverse family and seeing my uncles in drag never made me or any of my cousins gay or grow up to be into that stuff. I'm surprised how many people are starting to speak up against that stuff now it's literally just clothes

Now a drag show is different because those could get ranchy but if your kid has Instagram or tiktok they're already exposed to women and men half naked everyday but you don't hear nearly as many people complaining when it's just as bad. At least when you go to a drag show you know what you're getting but tiktok algorithms target our children

Y’all don’t go outside enough if you think drag queens are just out here at every turn

They ain’t really out here like that lmao but in this context yea I would not let it happen

Not at all, I think they're pretty cool and as an English teacher I'm pretty open to whatever encourages literacy.

Just, yeah, I have friends who do drag and have seen some pretty raunchy stuff and that's not something my kid should be seeing at her age.

My son isn’t super into gender norms because we aren’t so he just sees them as people wearing clothes

There's way worse things your kid could be and most likely will be exposed to

Why not talk to your child instead of shielding them? Same people complaining about participation trophies are afraid to let their kids live in the real world

As in show/culture? No but i wouldnt "blast it in their face".

Not because its not something they "shouldnt" know about, but because its not something I oersonally attend or keep up on.

If they want to be into it then all means its fine.

But they will def know the existence of trans people in general, just like they will know the existence of other cultures, religions, races, sexuality etc. wheb its appropriate but also from myself sense its something that interests me & something i keep up on.

Such as news, social problems & in general respecting others that respect you.

In some countries like the UK, drag has long been a part of family entertainment, pantomime dames (men in drag playing female characters) have been a part of festive performances for years

That being said I probably wouldn't take my kid to a drag queen story hour, mainly because I'm a good enough storyteller and would want to bond with my kid over stories, dumping them somewhere else to have someone read them stories just feels lazy to me, the drag aspect doesn't bother me but I also don't see what it adds in that situation, but in no way would I want to hide the concept of drag queens from my kids

No
