Are Drag Toddlers America's Version of Bacha Bazi?
This is my reply to @ancapbarbie Regarding Toddler Drag Queens and Pedophile Priests.
"Does anyone think being a heterosexual white Christian is a safe and healthy environment for a child? How is calling out the exploitation of children anti-heterosexual white Christian?
See what I did there?
Because remind me again which demographic harms children? I've seen zero posts from the #informationwar lunatics calling out the Catholic Church, for one glaring example. But they talk about transgender women (not transgender men, oddly - but there's an obvious reason why that is so) more than the LGBT community does." – ancapbarbie
They're putting slutty makeup on kids and dressing them inappropriately at such a young age. It is just as despicable when straight women enroll their toddlers in beauty competitions.
What I'm trying to say here is they are damaging the worldview of these children. The beauty competitions are bad enough but at least they don't encourage slutty dancing and attire or encourage them to walk the catwalks like they are strippers or something as the .gif above depicts.
Imagine if a straight man or woman encouraged their 8-year-old girl to wear makeup, dress like a slut and dance like a stripper. Is this behavior appropriate for a child? Or how is it more appropriate that this behavior is acceptable for kids if they are transgender?
Straight men are protective of our daughters. Do you want normalization? Well, condemnation of this behavior for children is proof you've got normalization. If these little boys are in fact someone's daughters, then why aren't they being protected like men protect their daughters? That's the real question that needs investigating.
I am from the #informationwar and have no problem in calling out pedophile priests. Child molesters run rampant in the Catholic church. I would say any parent willing to leave their children in the private care of a Catholic priest would be out of their fucking minds.
Questionable behavior should be called out no matter what area of society we find it in. Drag toddlers are very new in American culture and its suspect. Drag Queens who encourage children to behave in perverted ways only cause harm to their push for normalization.
I would posit the culture of drag is, in fact, inappropriate for kids. If the kid is transgender, he can dress like a girl, take on a girls name, and even have people call her she, but the drag culture... that's 18+ and inappropriate for minors.
Society is trying to pressure these young kids to choose about sexuality at an age where they're not even hormonally developed. What happens when the kid turns 12 and starts getting butterflies in his stomach when his little ding ding is pointing at girls instead of boys?
I suppose if he hasn't already received the Bobbit treatment, you'll reach into your bag of tricks and pull out a special label for him. Some heteronormal queen bullshit, I would imagine. You need not label everything, and you need not make mandatory that people accept all of your silly labels either.
Most of us respect people enough to call them by the gender they are trying to be. Yet, now you've got myriads and myriads of made up genders that don't even make sense. LGBT covered most all the bases. By inventing 100s more genders, it became clear you were just having a LARP at everyone's expense.
FYI, I identify as a Jedi Pimp. If you don't accept this and call me master, I might give you a good air choking! Surely you didn't think I'd finish this post without a bit of toxic masculinity for you to complain about.

It's funny right cause the majority of sexual abuse is committed by straight white men against their daughters, Christianity has a history of saying its ok to fuck your daughters if your a man.
So deal with the straight, child abusing, women raping, mother murdering white men first.
Then I might believe you have the fortitude behind your convictions, till then you are just a homosexual hating bigot, using some made up bullshit propaganda to veil your true hatred for the lgbt.
Stop making fake news so you can hate of a group and not feel like you are a bigot.
Cause until I see you going for hard targets that are actually guilty, you are just basic.
Why not both? Some people call out the hard targets, some the less hard. Not everyone can be interested in everything. You have risked sounding like some of the things mentioned in the post are not a problem, which I don't think is true of you.
On the one hand, the general premiss of the article is the social sexualization (or sexualized socialization) of minors is problematic, and here's some ways that it's happening. Faux sexuality by way of dancing, dress, etc. can easily exploitative, especially since it's for an adult audience. Those are the people in the seats for all the events.
However is this post dressed up "gays are perverting the kids" rhetoric? It seems that way. I followed @thoughts-in-time recently as I lean libertarian but the crudeness of this post is below what I consider interesting.
@personz thank you for your feedback.
I am addressing drag queen culture and how it is in appropriate for children. Dressing eight-year-old boys (or girls if you consider beauty pageants) in risque attire and cheering them on while they dance as if though they are strippers is just flat out wrong.
I respect the rights of adults to make their own sexual decisions as I too am a libertarian. However, adults should not be encouraging boys into this behavior any more than they should encourage girls to act like strippers. The goings on at some of these drag queen events are for mature audiences.
Do you have children @personz at what age would you dress them up in skimpy attire and have them dance like strippers for adults? In what world is this okay? Have I stepped into the twilight zone?
I am not anti-gay.
I am not anti-transgender.
I am not anti-drag queen.
I am anti-drag toddlers and you should be too.
To help you understand even further.
I am not anti-strip club. Yet if I seen
an eight year old at a strip club I'd go
up to the kids daddy and pimp slap
him into next week.
Of course I don't disagree with the protection of children. It's actually where I have trouble with radical libertarianism, social accountability in a world where some want their private property homestead to be their little kingdom.
Of course we agree on the basics. What you have presented are cases which are clearly wrong and I had intended to express agreement with that and your general point.
My deeper reading of your post and the way you say things is a lack of maturity in dealing with the topic and showing some prejudice towards drag queens and others. I presume this is what triggered @sapphic . I'll back this up with an example:
Sweeping statement which implies this is what all drag queens do. Do you understand how your loose use of language may paint you in a way you don't intend? Or it may show you to harbor prejudice. When people perceive sexual deviance they can often react with disgust, which is a very strong and motivating emotion, but it is an emotion.
You do you, I'm not the language police. I'm just stating something which is fairly obvious.
You make a fair point @personz. In fact, I appreciate that you brought that to my attention. I don't like to speak in sweeping generalizations. It can however be an easy trap to fall into. I will correct my mistake.
Thank you for your feedback @sapphic.
I don't hate gay people or drag queens just so long as they aren't corrupting children. I don't hate straight white men, just so long as they aren't doing those things that you mentioned.
I don't have any statistics handy, yet if you are going to compare two different groups with one another and one group is extraordinarily larger than the other, that should be taken into account.
It would be like if you compared gun crime statistics in a town of 5,000 people to the gun crime statistics of a city of 500,000. No doubt the city with the larger population would have more gun crime. That's where the phrase per capita usually comes into play if we are going to be honest with our statistics.
@sapphic do you believe that those little boys should be dressing like prostitutes, prancing around suggestively, and wearing makeup at the age of eight years old?
Is this behavior acceptable for a child? That's drag culture, it's not for kids. I also think that little "cis" girls shouldn't practice being strippers at the age of eight, 18 is okay, not eight.
Are Afghani men who bid on Bacha Bazi not a hard enough target for you? Are catholic priests not a hard enough target for you? Are people in special gender classes who would corrupt youth not a hard enough target for you?

To the question in your title, my Magic 8-Ball says:
Hi! I'm a bot, and this answer was posted automatically. Check this post out for more information.
That's a bad omen @magic8ball. Not the
answer I was hoping for. However, thank
you for sharing your opinion Mr. Roboto!
Certainly, the only thing they do is psychologically harm children with these stupid things, children are children and they should not be forced to be something.

I respect homosexual people, and even those who sexually identify as an attack helicopter, but when they try to impose their ideology and when they do this kind of barbarity, that cannot be respected.
Another, I respect gay people lie from a bigot
How do you know it's a lie?.
For me, LGBT people can do whatever they want, as long as they don't affect me or others. When they use children for psychologically negative practices, when they seek to deny the right to Free Speech, when they try to use government to impose an ideology. That's what I don't support.
@daniscib thank you for your
feedback and the compliment!
I agree with you 100%. This kind
of thing has gone way too far. It's
time to start calling it what it is.
As if years ago, when i learned about the atrocious action of bucha bazi ... didn't anger me enough. This, is a good read.. but disturbing.
I didn't want to see it.. but in truth it needs addressed and stamped out.
