    They are still sexualized representations of women when they are reading to kids… Just because its not absurdly sexual doesnt mean its not sexual. Why is it so important to you guys that kids see sexual things? Why not play it safe and just not show them things that are not remotely sexual?

      Because if you had it your way, we would never teach them anything about sex, ever. And that’s how you open kids up to being molested by the clergy.

      I have honestly never seen drag queens in a sexual context. To me they just seem like people (not even specifically like women, and definitely not sexualised versions of them) who had a little too much fun with makeup. I don’t find it appealing either, but I don’t care because they’re free to do as they please and it doesn’t bother me in any way. If you see anything sexual in their appearance, that’s your problem. Some might see something sexual in spaghetti/tank tops or bikinis, but who cares, especially children usually don’t even think of that.
