This is up to the parents to choose how to raise their children. I wouldn’t take my child or grandchildren to such an event. I wouldn’t go myself either because I find it unappealing. But that’s me. Someone else might make another choice for themselves or their children.

I viscerally dislike Drag Queen Story Hours but as long as attendees/parents know what they’re getting into, its on them. They’ll have to deal with any unwanted results. Protests and violence just make for entrenchment and martyrdom.

Now when it comes to gender-affirming care to children without knowledge of parents? That’s my line. When it comes to men receiving awards for being “women” of the year, yeah that is worth protesting. This, not so much.

So, you're good with sex-offenders on the sex offender list having physical contact with children? Gee, that's not a good thing. No one should support perverts interacting with children.

I suspect you are correct, George. (A fellow Firesign Theater fan, I suppose?) However, as someone somewhat interested in this issue, I have sometimes found it difficult to find well-documented instances of such abuses. If you have any at your fingertips, I would be genuinely interested in getting my own hands on them.

There are many crimes in which men who dress as women attack and kill women and children. They just don't get reported in the mainstream press because it doesn't fit their "transgender" agenda.

Right, I am aware of this, but I was asking more specifically about offenses taking place specifically within the context of DQSH. I do have some sources, including the article I cited elsewhere, but the issue is being debated in an organization I belong to, and I am kind of collecting evidence. But thank you, Nancy, I really appreciate your comments on this thread. You really have a sound grasp of what is going on! There is a cancer, as you've described it, and people need to wake up to the reality of it.

You're very welcome, Richard. And thank you for your kind compliment.Here's a article I recently wrote for Jennifer Bilek's 11th Hour blog.

Pretty fascinating read, and well researched. Thank you! I am a supporter of the 11th Hour Blog and/or Jennifer Bilek (maybe I donate monthly to both, I can't remember offhand). I am also a member of the Green Alliance for Sex-Based Rights, an organization of mostly renegade feminist Greens and allies, as well as former Greens like myself who left that formerly feminist party when it violated its own internal rules and went off the rails over this issue. I also support Women's Declaration International - USA, WoLF, Kara Dansky, Reality's Last Stand and other organizations and journalists fighting the good fight.

I am currently working on a project to combat gender-identity ideology in our public schools, which is why I keep trying to promote Carol Dansereau's excellent work on that subject. I expect that this will soon include filing suit against the Illinois Board of Education to challenge its statutory adoption of the so-called "National Sex Education Standards," which requires teaching gender-identity ideology to K-12 kids. If this interests you, or if you want to continue this dialogue, please feel free to e-mail me at richwhitney@frontier.com.

It is very important for people to recognize that resistance to this agenda is NOT coming exclusively from conservatives and the Right. There is also a Left/Feminist resistance. Like so many other things, just because it isn't being covered by the corporate media, it doesn't mean that we don't exist.

Glad you enjoyed the article. I had so much fun writing it last year. And how wonderful you're involved with WDI, WoLF, Reality's Last Stand and other groups. Illinois, oh my goodness, the state that Pritzker bought.

I will send you an email. The pro "trans" lobby is so strong and supported by staggering amounts of money. That's why it's so important for people of every political stripe (left, right, center) to temporarily lay aside their other differences, band together,, and defeat this cancer.

How do we know these murderous "men who dress as women" are not, in fact, aliens from a distant planet? Culling the human population for an eventual invasion?

What about perverts interacting with other perverts? As long as it's confined to a fully moated medieval castle far removed from any elementary schools?

Do you think parents ought to be able to take children to x-rated movies and strip clubs? Can't you see that drag queen story hour harms children by sexualizing them, leading them to doubt their own physical sex, and promoting harmful cross-sex drugs and mutilating surgeries. It's part of an intentional, well funded campaign pushed by perverted autogynephile billionaires like Stryker, Prizker, and Rothblatt.

Perhaps you have heard of this thing called the internet. Kids are watching porn whether you like it or not. But no, they should not be allowed in X rated theaters, who mostly exists for the facilitation of anonymous sex, at least as far as I can tell.

There are ways to make that not happen....so your argument is a red herring.

I generally feel the same as you except these story hours are taking place in libraries and schools, so where's the choice then?

Legit question. First, let’s decouple schools and libraries. Schools and libraries have this in common: They are tax-payer funded and serve an educational role in communities. Here’s where they are different: Schools have an in loco parentis obligation that libraries do not have, and schools are a required activity whereas libraries are not.

I would have an issue with schools having a required assembly for children for the viewing of a drag queen story time. If it was after school, or with special permission from parents, I wouldn’t have an issue with it because it is explicitly parental choice.

No child is required to attend any library story time or event. Libraries would not spring a drag queen story time on their regular story time attenders. (They would advertise to that group, however.) Once again, it would be parental choice.

Parents make bad choices all the time. I certainly did. For good or ill, parents, for the most part, should be able to raise their child with the values they wish to teach and instill. If parents want to provide that experience to their children then I’m okay with that.

Oh I get it. As long as four year olds have a note from their parents, they should be allowed to attend strip clubs. Right?
