true, but the association wasn't with being gay/trans, which linking drag queens to transgenderism was already a stretch(it's basically blackface but for women), but rather introducing children to an inherently sexual performance.
Not exactly. Transgenderism is a non-clinical term for gender dismorphia; a mental disorder characterized by a belief that you were born in the wrong sex.
Drag Queen-ing (for lack of a proper verb) is basically a tacky joke poking fun at femininity.
...it was literally rightwing commentators who were calling out the association between groomer and gay/trans folk for months...
This by the way is why it's so important to listen to what the other side is saying, difficult as it is to do...
On the contrary. The people organizing drag queen story hours were rightly being called groomers.
If cis white males were taking school kids on field trips to Hooters, I'd have a problem with that, too.

Drag queens are transgender, at least while they're dressed up.
And nobody would give a shit if drag queen story hours were adult only.
