I apologize to all of you Twitchy VIPs who are getting sick of posts about the transgender movement (there are more in today’s queue). I was originally hired 11 years ago to write about entertainment, but now it seems every Saturday is devoted to either trans people or drag queens. Vox would have you believe the “anti-trans movement” has taken over mainstream media, but all we’ve seen is the media go out of its way to cover Friday’s Trans Day of Visibility. We thought trans women and drag queens were two separate things, but for the Trans Day of Visibility, John Croman of KARE in Minneapolis shared with us this history sight: a drag queen dancing on the rotunda star in the state capitol.

Remember the outrage when Sen. Kyrsten Sinema wore a denim vest on the floor of the Senate? Not only did it show no respect for the Senate; Ana Navarro informed us it was racist.
At first, we thought this was one of the mobs storming state capitols this week, but it looks like there are folding chairs set out … did the capitol put on this show for Trans Day of Visibility?
Glad to see our tax payer dollars go to things that matter instead of returning money to tax payers living paycheck to paycheck. Thank you @MinnesotaDFL

Odd that the kids on a tour of the Capitol get yelled at for stepping on the Star because they are told it is disrespectful.

A man mocking women is something you think is a good thing? Really? #WomensRights

Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful

Trans is clearly the most oppressed and marginalized group in the world.

The state Capitol is now a night club 🤔

Being liberal with the definition of “dancing” I see.
Happy last day of women’s history month.

Why is the North Star always roped off to prevent the public walking on it, but this person was allowed to dance on the space?

Why is he dancing on the star (which is a restricted area)?

Why is the “art form” of drag being pulled from nightclubs and thrust into elementary school classrooms? Why the sudden appearance of “all-ages” and “family-friendly” drag brunches? When do strippers get their chance?
