Gay Activist Dies By Suicide After LGBT Mob Hounds Him For Protesting Drag Queen Story Hour

So, twenty some years ago there was a social concern about all of the too young beauty pageants that a lot of mostly midwestern and southern non big city whites held.

This concern was partially correct in my opinion.

Is there any parallel to this and this current DQST?

Not really. The kids hear kids' stories from drag queens. What would the parallel be?
 
Obviously there was much more going on in this guys head than bullying. He took his life less than 24 hours after the library protest took place.

Not to mention that he did exactly the same thing, bullying, to the drag queens that you complain about. Only he did it much more forcefully and scared and upset a bunch of kids in the process.

He did not bully anybody. He protested. He waited until the story time was over and he protested. Protesting isn't bullying, unless he was physically intimidating and violent, which he wasn't.
What heinous cultural atrocity was he protesting?

According to Patooka’s link, he intimidated children enough to make them cry.

Doesn’t justify the dogpiling or the bullying he received. But this person clearly had multiple issues.
 
Are they thinking that all boys will have to dress and perform like Desmond is Amazing in the near future?

No.

Desmond has to dress and perform in drag?



One day I will figure out why you post the links you post. I don't know if that day will be happy, or deeply troubling.
[edit: I see. He gets around to it somewhere in the middle. I didn't last long enough the first time around. I'm sure you could have found a better reference video.]

What heinous cultural atrocities are university feminists protesting when they deplatform speakers?

The protester made his objection very clear: drag queens are not for kids. You may not agree, but it isn't as if his protest reason was a mystery

No: that quotes one person saying her child began to cry. But he wasn't there to intimidate children, that was an unintended consequence.

Just like climate anxiety in teenagers and children is an unintended consequence of climate activism.

I agree.
 
It's very strange to me how drag queens claim they are men, but they just like dressing up as women. Then we have trans women who insist they are women because they like to dress up as women. Then we have trans women who dress up like men and still say they are women.

A lot of them claim they are breaking down gender norms, but is dressing like a stereotypical woman really breaking down gender norms? Sounds like it's enforcing the norms.

This stuff can hurt your brain trying to think about the inconsistency of it all.

I believe we discussed in another thread how if all men identified as women, everyone would say "there's no more men in the world! It's only 100% women!" To me this is very foolish. But, this type of thinking would logically lead to this conclusion.

That would explain a lot.

It really is tough to answer, though. You have tons of trans women on youtube who wear long hair, put on makeup, wear dresses. This is all how stereotypical women dress. So, they are not breaking gender norms. They are making themselves into society's definition of a woman.

The only ones breaking gender norms are the trans women who still dress like men but say they are women, such as an Arnold Schwarzenegger type person who says he's a woman.

Saying stuff like, "I knew I was a woman in a man's body when I was very young because I liked playing with dolls, wearing pretty dresses and wearing lipstick." This is conforming to the gender norms, not breaking them down.
 
This stuff can hurt your brain trying to think about the inconsistency of it all.

Actually, it's pretty straightforward:

-Person 1 believes in statement "A"
-Person 2 believes in statement "B"
-Statements "A" and "B" are mutually exclusive
-Therefore people are hypocrites

Now, most people can see the flaw in the argument I just laid out. You appear to have some difficulty, as it appears to be the only argument you are capable of making. So let's be very clear; never, not once in your hypothetical scenarios have you highlighted a single individual who holds both contradictory statements in any of the assertions you claim. In this instance, you have failed to provide a single example where someone believes that breaking down gender norms can only be achieved by enforcing gender norms.

To put it another way; you would come across as a lot more credible if you pointed out inconsistencies of individuals, rather than imaginary groups that you and you alone define to construct your one sided arguments.

Hope that helps.
 
Wholesome, and yes I am a full on atheist.



You rein this in or be prepared for some unpredictable reactions. If he got roughed up I would have no sympathy.

The video has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Who should rein this in? Rein what in? Talent shows? Parent Teacher Associations?

He was dismissed from the PTA, which seems a more commensurate response.

No, just small minded and stupid, perhaps even bigoted.

Metaphor said:

His intent is not important.

Given how poorly you appear to think about these issues, I suggest you stop thinking about them to relieve your pain.

In my view the optics seem more like, "Half's making great points. Rather than think about them, I will ridicule him."
 
Is this a school event where the kiddies are required to attend these story-hours even if they don't want to?

Typically they are held in public libraries. That was the case with the story in the OP.

I like the 'even if they don't want to'. I'm all for supporting more flexibility and choice for students where practical, but my recollection of grade school is that what we wanted was given pretty minimal consideration with regard to activities, even those well outside of reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic.

What great points? I literally live this on the daily. Your bizarre reductionism doesn't reflect much of the reality of being transgender. Your description of drag queens and the way to relate drag queens to transgender people is similarly lacking.

If you are making great points, you are making them against something imaginary. Whether you are winning or losing in that is not really my business; I am not the boss of your imagination. I find it weird that you use your imagination for creating a tangled mess that makes your brain hurt, but whatever floats your boat.

Meanwhile, here in reality, every time you refer to trans people I'm thinking 'Who the fuck are you talking about?'

Have you ever been diagnosed with Narcissistic personality disorder? Unlike TDS it is actually a real thing. It could explain why you argue how you do.

Just something to think about.
