I remember a whole group of us in primary school crowded round a magazine of highly sexualised content, a hell of a lot more explicit than anything this drag queen would be doing. And this was organised by the school? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I'll just put in my two penn'orth here.. Firstly, kids today are far more at ease discussing and understanding sexuality, gender issues and even the risks of sexual predators than my generation ever were. This is, I think we can agree, a largely positive thing. The best disinfectant is sunlight, after all. Secondly - and this is for those whose hackles rise at the words "drag queen" in close proximity to "school" or "children" - In my career locking up some very dangerous sexual offenders, including child rapists and abusers, I have come across a handful who were cross-dressers of any variety - but many, many more who carried out their offences over a period of years behind the facade of trusted teachers, clergy, care staff, and more than any other type, family member. It's not the people who want to out-fabulous each other you want to be careful of - they are, more likely than not, more than comfortable in their own identity. It's the respectable family member who spends just a wee bit too much time with the kids at family gatherings that may warrant watching. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read Falkirk threads you will know. You and everyone else already know what he is like outwith Falkirk threads. For the benefit of this one, il crack on with ignoring him and discussing with those who have actual points to make. I asked you a very simple question because you were dancing around revealing yourself as having a weird prejudice in relation to this story time situation. Trying to build that into some kind of feud like we're on Friday Night Smackdown is quite the look. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I just said I dont want to interact with you my man. If I can live with that then I am sure you can too.

Guest Moomintroll Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Can see both sides to the argument here to be fair, I am heavily in favour of promoting LGBT rights but if this Head Teacher is behaving in that manner then it's not very sensible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 What was deleted here?Another poster whose children had previously attended the school posted about it and then deleted, presumably as they didn’t want to be identified. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Apparently parents of the kids involved were concerned that photographs of the event, featuring the children were posted on a social media account featuring sexual content. This was done without parental consent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thane of Cawdor Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 If you wanted to make kids aware of the practice of cross-dressing, and the impulse that drives it, you probably wouldn't do it through the medium of a drag queen or a pantomime dame. Both are entertaining parodies of the female character but neither reflects the compulsion to dress as a member of the opposite sex and, as such, the children are being diverted from an understanding of the reality of these people's lives. In that case, a genuine cross-dresser such as Eddie Izzard is a much better representation of the issue. After all, if the children were engaged and interested they could see, hear and, perhaps question the story-teller. Instead, you are simply providing a professional lampoon of women and that doesn't seem very progressive to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. My impression of what was said is that a drag act more often than not has an overtly sexual element to it, panto dames don't. Ergo, there's a difference. No comment was made on lifestyles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
