This editor has said it time after time: Shouldn’t the onus to prove it’s a good thing be on the people who are trying to put kids and drag queens together at every opportunity? No, it’s up to the sane ones to say, no, let’s keep sexually suggestive performances away from children. But even if you say that, they’ll come back at you with a stupid argument like the one “independent investigative journalist” Brian Krassenstein makes: a 13-year-old drag queen’s performance is no more provocative than high school cheerleaders at a football game.

Newsflash: There are straight teenagers performing much more provocatively than this on a daily basis. In fact it's even taking place in schools with cheerleaders, and dance studios and gyms where gymnasts dance with skimpy outfits on. Why is it only a problem when it's a…

“… when it’s a nonbinary teen?”
You just don’t get it do you ……
ANY 13yo performing in this manner is unacceptable. It’s feeding the pedophiles….

Well then, it's happening in virtually every small town and big city across America and no Republican is doing anything about it. They only care if the kids are non-binary it appears. Should be a parental decision though, not a governmental one.

So he’s saying that Republicans should crack down on gymnastic and high school cheerleading too?
Protecting children against grooming and paedophiles isn't a political argument, it's about morals and a healthy society of which you seem to be against

A little boy dressed like a little girl dancing around for the sexual pleasure of grown men has zero to do with cheerleading. Stop gaslighting.

Are straight teenagers dressed more provocatively than this on a daily basis? Or cheerleaders? I don't think it's ever a problem if a nonbinary, or binary teen is dancing and dressing in an age-appropriate manner. Would you say this costume and dance is age-appropriate?

Spending a lot of time in high schools, Brian?

Thanks for the whataboutism Brian.

You comparing that to cheerleading is one of the most ignorant things I have ever read. The amount of mental gymnastics it takes to compare those two things is crazy.

Imagine defending this

College cheerleaders are adults, I haven't been in a high school since my daughter graduated, but the cheerleaders were not dressed provocatively or doing any cheers that promoted sexuality – and she went to a progressive public HS. This video is grooming and child exploitation.

Brian, please just accept you are on the losing side of this argument. You don’t have to defend every obviously ridiculous video. He’s a boy. He’s dressed like a BDSM commercial. At 13. Just because real dancers’ outfits are “skimpy” doesn’t mean they’re suggestive.

You find this comparable to cheerleaders, are you serious or just trying to normalize this display of abhorrent deviant behaviour of every adult present there exploiting a minor for their sexual morbid gratification?
— Sweet Momster (@sweet_momster) March 25, 2023
So Krassenstein has found a way to defend this 13-year-old boy dressing like a stripper in black leather and dancing in front of what looks to be an all-adult, all-male crowd … it’s no worse than teen gymnasts wearing that sexy leotard on the balance beam.
