Thus, all the inappropriate curricula around adult preoccupations with sex, such as the Drag Queen Story Hour, for which mentally ill men are invited to act-out impersonations of women-as-monsters for young people who can’t possibly be expected to make sense of the spectacle. (I suspect that even six-year-olds, hard-wired to function as successful animals in this world, understand it as some kind of affront to reality.) Otherwise, American teachers are out of ideas, and are themselves damaged by the same forces in culture that they are now asked to direct.

America has become a malfunctioning pageant without feasible roles that children can realistically project themselves into. What ten-year-old longs to become the Burger King fry-o-later boss in a brown apron and an asinine cardboard crown? Rather, they are prompted to aspire to become sports star millionaires, of which there are perhaps fewer than 5,000 positions in a land of 340-million. By age twelve, they probably comprehend the unlikelihood of that outcome, or of becoming the next Kardashian… or Spiderman. (Superheroes are supplied by the entertainment cartels to occupy the imaginative realm of children because American culture is bereft of reality-based roles worth aspiring to.)

In this tumult of cultural impoverishment, psychotic grandiosity creeps in. Be big if you can’t be anything else. Hence, one achievable role for young persons in American life is mass murderer. It is a way of becoming important, of having an effect on other people and society in general. Your name may be forgotten, but the act itself will endure in the collective memory of a people.

The Texas shooter being both "trans" and a mass murderer of children are two sides of the same coin.

It's "LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME" in both cases.

Trans people are not “excluded from sport” - they’re entitled to play sport that aligns with their biological sex.

They are not “prevented from using the toilet” - they’re entitled to use the toilet that aligns with their biological sex.

We must inject nuance into this debate.

The Texas shooter being both "trans"

From what I hear, the shooter was NOT trans, that it's a photoshop creation or an entirely different person.

It's not relevant anyhow.

I study propaganda techniques as a hobby, a common technique is to produce DISINFORMATION by our intelligence agencies. The relevant facts is this person was apparently known by our intelligence agencies, and that the police stood down for over an HOUR as the murders were being done - they even subdued parents who wanted to protect their children.

Whether the person was transgendered, doesn't matter. What matters is that the people who "protect and serve" don't protect and serve the public. They let children get murdered for over an hour, and did nothing. They must have been told to stand down, by whom? 1/2 of the police are military, and they were ordered to allow children to be murdered. Who did this?

Who is the sociopathic traitor to this nation that ensured these murders? Who told the police to stand down?

Vulnerable and traumatised women pay the highest price for luxury beliefs. These are the real world consequences of redefining woman to include the penised.

Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but not the right to encroach on the natural liberties of others. For example, gender dysphoric individuals have the right to claim they are the opposite sex, though this is obviously not the truth. When their right to live in self-delusion encroaches on other people’s right to privacy — i.e., women’s right to safe locker rooms and bathroom spaces — this becomes a big issue. Men have always been a threat to women. They are stronger and bigger. It has been proven over and over again that men with bad intentions can easily overpower women (not to mention girls). Creating an environment for gender-confused individuals to have access to a woman’s private space is insanity.

This is stunning. This level of obsession over drag queens is unanswerable, except to serve some purpose or to perform some quasi-religious ritual.

Here’s a nice video to share for #PrideMonth. I spoke to an African tribe about transgenderism. The Left claims that traditional cultures have fluid notions of gender. That’s… not exactly what I found.

More in the full film, What Is A Woman, premiering tonight on the Daily Wire

Lol, the Africans are perfectly clear on the immutable biological reality of the two sexes.

Well, ladies, I guess that is better than "mean tweets." And how many of you were "open minded" enough to support chastising people who "misgendered" transpeople? You useful idiots just thought the trans agenda would never get around to harming you.

Don't blame the people who voted for Biden, when Biden was installed by our intelligence agencies, and not a vote.

It's easy to think "all the people around me are idiots" - the VAST majority are indifferent and have given up, but those that didn't give up, they didn't vote for Biden. He was installed by our intelligence agencies.

How do you like living under a Banana Republic? You didn't stop your criminal syndicate government from doing this to other nations. How do you like it? Everything our criminal syndicate does comes home in time. Now you know what our criminal syndicate does to us, when they are forced to retract. We should have stopped them decades ago, but deaf ears.

Hope you are prepared.

Drag Queen Story Hour,

At Taco Bell, the Drag Brunch Goes Corporate
The glittery live shows have long been a staple in many cities, but the fast-food chain is taking that a step further.

CHICAGO — As drag brunch came to a close at a Mexican restaurant here last Sunday, the performers conga-lined their way through the crowd of about 40 party people who were just this side of tipsy on Brunch Punch.

But this was no standard drag brunch; it was a Taco Bell Drag Brunch. And that wasn’t a microphone in the lead queen’s hand; it was a Grande Toasted Breakfast Burrito. That queen — a Mexican American performer called Kay Sedia (pronounced quesadilla) — was the M.C. at a Taco Bell Cantina down the block from Wrigley Field, wearing a frilly, skintight frock with the Taco Bell logo on the belly.

In the 45-minute show, Kay Sedia sassed the crowd (mostly young, mostly white) and danced with her fellow performers: the drag king Tenderoni and the queens Miss Toto and Aunty Chan, who tore it up as a hard-pressed Taco Bell cashier in a lip-synced mash-up of “She Works Hard for the Money” and “9 to 5.” On diners’ tables, a shimmering box held a burrito (sausage, bacon or veggie), a hash brown and Cinnabon Delights doughnut holes. The sound of Taco Bell’s signature “bong” punctuated a drinking game.

Skyler Chmielewski, there to celebrate her 19th birthday, was transfixed. Gripping a Taco Bell Drag Brunch-branded folding fan, she declared her first drag show “breathtaking.”



“I’m at a loss for words,” she said.

There may be gayer ways to spend an afternoon at a Taco Bell, but it’s hard to imagine how. The five-city, 10-show Taco Bell Drag Brunch tour, which has arrived in time for June’s Pride celebrations, is arguably the most mainstream marriage of drag and dining yet — a “phenomenal” stepn the evolution of drag culture, said Joe E. Jeffreys, a drag historian.

“It’s taken drag over a border that it hasn’t been before, to an exciting new place of accessibility,” said Mr. Jeffreys, who teaches theater studies at N.Y.U. and the New School. (He had not been to one of the chain’s brunches.)

Taco Bell Drag Brunch is just the latest effort by corporate fast-food chains to grab the attention of L.G.B.T.Q. consumers. Last year, Taco Bell named the out rapper Lil Nas X as its “chief impact officer,” and Burger King said that during June, it would donate 40 cents from every order of its Ch’King sandwich to the Human Rights Campaign, an L.G.B.T.Q. advocacy group.

The political landscape may be changing, though. The creation of “drag queen story hours” for children at public libraries across the country has stirred protests and some cancellations. In April, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida signed a bill revoking Disney World’s special tax status, after the company spoke out against the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which would limit or forbid discussion about sexual orientation and gender identity in Florida public schools.

The moment is challenging corporations to decide how best to support a brand-loyal group of consumers without alienating conservative customers or legislators. (Taco Bell is taking its drag brunch to Florida, but is not among several companies that have voiced concern about recent legislation there and in other states.)

On Being Transgender in America

Phalloplasty: The surgery, used to construct a penis, has grown more popular among transgender men. But with a steep rate of complications, it remains a controversial procedure.

Elite Sports: The case of the transgender swimmer Lia Thomas has stirred a debate about the nature of athleticism in women’s sports.
Transgender Youth: A photographer documented the lives of transgender youth. She shared some thoughts on what she saw.
Corporate World: What is it like to transition while working for Wall Street? A Goldman Sachs’ employee shares her experience.
Many fast-food brands are embracing this year’s Pride season. Chipotle and Shake Shack plan to donate percentages of their proceeds during June to L.G.B.T.Q. organizations, and the Taco Bell Foundation is giving a grant to the It Gets Better Project to expand work-force-readiness resources for L.G.B.T.Q. youth.

Gillian Oakenfull, a professor of marketing at Miami University of Ohio, said the current political fights over gay and transgender issues don’t necessarily reflect what consumers think. When it comes to queer acceptance, she said, “Gen Z requires it.”

Hosting drag queens, Dr. Oakenfull said, “is no longer a risk,” and if corporations are feeling heat because they use drag as a marketing tool, “it’s not coming from the people they care about.”

When Taco Bell posted a photo from the Las Vegas brunch on Instagram, it generated some negative comments. But so far, complaints about the shows have been, like its breakfast salsa, mild.

The tour kicked off in Las Vegas on May 1 before hitting Chicago and Nashville, and will appear in New York City on June 12 and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on June 26. The events, which are free and limited to customers ages 18 and older, are being held at Taco Bell Cantina locations because they serve alcohol, unlike other Taco Bell restaurants.

All of the reservations — more than 550 — were scooped up quickly in April by members of Taco Bell’s “Fire Tier” rewards program, the brand’s most loyal customers, who had first dibs, according to a company spokesman.

Robert Fisher, a senior production designer at Taco Bell, said the drag brunch idea surfaced a year ago within Live Más Pride, Taco Bell’s L.G.B.T.Q. employee resource group, and made its way to the company’s chief executive, Mark King, who greenlit it.

Mr. Fisher, who founded Live Más Pride, said his managers understood that if a Taco Bell-hosted drag brunch was going to feel legitimate, the company had to act as if it had been invited to be part of the L.G.B.T. Q. community, “not as if Taco Bell was appropriating drag for the sake of tacos.”

The company signed Oscar Quintero, who performs under the name Kay Sedia and lives in Los Angeles, as the tour’s drag hostess, and hired local drag artists to perform with her in each city. (Taco Bell declined to say how much the tour cost and how much the talent was paid.) The performers have taken care to keep their language and material fairly clean and nonpolitical.

“I have a ton of people on social media who are across the political and religious spectrum, and yet they find it in their hearts to enjoy my work,” Mr. Quintero said. “When people start to get political, I just say: ‘Allow me to be an escape.’ ”

Drag’s relationship with dining goes back to the mid-20th century, when drag revues in bars and restaurants catered to predominantly straight audiences. Mr. Jeffreys, the historian, estimates that drag brunches began in the early 1990s, during the second decade of the AIDS crisis. Perry’s, a restaurant in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, D.C., has hosted a drag brunch since 1991, and it remains popular.

Today, drag brunch is an essential weekend outing in many cities, a draw for bachelorette and birthday parties. Food and drag continue to intersect in new ways, from meal-delivery services to sausage-making parties.

To some keepers of drag history, Taco Bell’s brunch is the commercial torpedo that finally sinks a subversive art form.

But others feel that ship has long sailed. Drag is the mainstream, said Harry James Hanson, a co-author of “Legends of Drag,” a new book featuring photographic portraits of drag elders.

Rachel Lang, who works for a Chicago tech company, was among the partygoers. Tickets for all the events were claimed swiftly by members of Taco Bell’s “Fire Tier” rewards program, who got first dibs.

“When it comes to working a corporate drag brunch, that is squarely in drag queens’ wheelhouse,” Mr. Hanson said. “They are those cultural ambassadors.”

Perhaps that’s what is happening at Taco Bell. After all, the company is introducing drag to audiences who might not otherwise go to a drag show if the invitation weren’t from Taco Bell.

Blake Hundley, a 25-year-old straight father, said he drove three hours from his home in Dubuque, Iowa, to be first in line for the second of two Chicago shows — no surprise, considering that he runs a Taco Bell fan site, LivingMas.com, and eats at Taco Bell three times a week “at a minimum.”

After the show, Mr. Hundley said that his first drag brunch was a blast, and that he’d return if the fast-food chain hosted another. “My life is about Taco Bell,” he said.

If not everyone is as thrilled about its shows, the company is fine with that. Drag brunch “is not about politics or worrying about backlash,” said Sean Tresvant, Taco Bell’s global chief brand officer. “It’s about being authentic.”

* The dollar bills being given by kids to the Pedo Freak
* The music
* The sexual outfit and performance.

It's grooming.

Here is one of the fleeing perverts spitting on the protesters after the show. This is assault under Texas law. And why is a man with no children attending a Children's Event that was highly sexualized?
