I am not qualified to judge what is appropriate. I guess it will depend on circumstances. The decisions must be taken by those with knowledge and experience and in the light of what is happening in society.

At all times what matters is that the children's best interests are paramount. If that means they need to know some things, sobeit.

What cannot be allowed to be paramount are parent's prejudices. Which is what some feel are more important than the children's best interests.

So you'd agree with your children being exposed to drag acts? Even though earlier you said you wouldn't.

This is what I've been attacking and every right minded person should.

This is why I and others have been attacked with deflections and insults by those who wish to find reasons for attacking those who point out the abuse of children.

I recommend that you do not click on the link if you are sensitive or easily shocked over what's being normalised here.

For me, I have no beef whatsoever with these shows, these life decisions and such events. Each to their own as far as I am concerned and whilst very far away from 'being for me' it isn't too hard to understand that you (I) are not everybody and have little say in what other people enjoy, find entertaining and want to do. When I say people, more specifically, I mean 'grown adults'.

However, the condoning of something like this as entertainment for children must firstly cross the boundary of exposing children to sexually explicit material. That should definitely be a crime.

Secondly, I remain resolute in the fact that anybody who does will be doing so as they themselves are in some way unhappy and unsettled in life and unfortunately now can procreate themselves, or now indeed adopt, or have responsibility for children. They therefore see this sort of thing as almost anarchic and counter-cultural so therefore want to indoctrinate young people into their way of thinking as whatever society had previously dictated did not/is not working for them. Whilst societies have often fallen foul to the tyrannical dictators or dictatorships general consensus is broadly determined by the majority on things and not many places better than in the west.

This is anti-societal. There's a reason we protect children from sexually explicit 'things' which need or should not require explaining to any healthy individual. There's a difference between 'I am not going to dress like everyone else, like my niche music, find x interesting though others do not, no I will not do/be whoever you want me to be and so forth', which is all perfectly acceptable and should be embraced, and saying 'I hate the world and therefore am going to take children to see almost fully naked adults strutting around in a sexual environment and f**k you if you disagree or better still, f**k you and aspersions on you if you do not actively support this'.

For me this is similar to my young self being marched into a boxing gym as this was seen as a 'correct thing to do' for a young boy however within that environment my head might have been at physical risk however it did not actively seek to distort my psychology nor sexualise me criminally prematurely. Again, there is a reason we do not do this to children and it need'nt be explained. Ay endorsement of it should be scanned for mental health or potential other explanations before the full weight of discipline is applied.
