    No problem with trans or drag shows but why do they do them for children? Would a burlesque show be available for children?

      Uninformed straight white guy here: Drag does not intrinsically share the sexualization commonly associated with modern use of the term burlesque. But, yes, a burlesque show that doesn’t mistakenly assume that burlesque is entirely about stripping/nudity might in fact be available for children.

        The drag shows I’ve seen advertised certainly look sexual. Corsets, push up bras etc etc. Just be trans person and talk to kids if it’s to help then. No need to dress up like a 70s transvestite.

          Drag IS NOT the same thing as being trans.

          Drag artists are performers who can adjust their shows for different audiences.

          I personally don’t like enjoy drag, but it’s more than RuPaul.

            So drag performers dress sexually to explain inclusion to children but they aren’t trans. Did I get that right?

            I thought the whole purpose was so that trans children don’t feel outcast or different. Wouldn’t it be better to have trans people talking to them instead of drag queens? “Edited due to horrible typo”
