The majority of queens are straight, gay or bisexual. Do you think those particular groups are also pushing an agenda? Your logic seems muddled and disjointed on this issue.
Again, I'll have to refer you to the people who routinely label bans on such shows transphobic.
Quote:That's a dispicable account filled with hated and misinformation, promoted by the likes of Matt Walsh and TurningPointUSA. If you have specific examples from the account, then post them and we can discuss. However, I'm not going to dig through - what I know from experience - to be a collection of vile filth.
Yeah, as I said I would avoid the posts not directly reposting other's content. I'm honestly not interested in digging through it either, but I've seen plenty of examples in my Twitter feed.
Quote:It depends on the context, which is why I asked for examples. None of what you're stating makes it objectively or intentionally sexual. Who is finding it sexually charged in your estimation - the queen, the child, the parent, all of them? Since you're opposed to the "subjective route" - please provide the objective evidence that such an instance was intended to be sexual or perceived so by those involved. Otherwise, you're simply projecting your own subjective interpretation.
So, you don't find a scantily clad adult gyrating in front of a child who then slips money into their clothing to be sexual?
Quote:No one went that route. You are just asserting that I did, which you have a tendency to do.
Sure, it's not like you didn't just say exactly that.
Quote:What I stated was that parents have historically done a poor job at discussing matters of a sexual nature with their children. However, I never stated that anyone knows better than the parents; but instead, that there has been a failure of parents in that regard, which is why having sexual education is so vital.
So no one knows better than the parents who historically do a poor job on this subject. Your generalization are as broad as they are nonsensical here.
Quote:While it's more acceptable to come out as transgender, there are still very real risks to doing so. Adults are prone to be more hesitant because of their life experience, engrained fears, expectation of negative reactions. Young people will not share these concerns at the same levels or be as risk adverse in their decision making process to express their true identity. Younger people - as a generality - currently have much more accepting peer groups, better methods for finding and communicating with others like themselves and vastly improved / more widely available resources for learning about their situations.
Or, alternatively, young people are influenced by their peers and want to be seen as different or special. It's not like acts of rebellion have been part of adolescence since adolescence has been a thing. Do you totally discount this possibility in the rapid rise of transgenderism among younger people?
Quote:Taking these things into account, it rather easily explains why younger people are much more likely to come out than adults, and why younger age ranges are representing that expected trend.
Do you believe the increase is solely due to a more accepting society? I freely admit there's some truth to your position, but I strongly believe it in no way fully accounts for the dramatic increase in such a short time frame.
