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.
These are the LGBTQIA definitions of transgender and genderfluid-
Transgender: An adjective used most often as an umbrella term and frequently abbreviated to “trans.” Identifying as transgender, or trans, means that one’s internal knowledge of gender is different from conventional or cultural expectations based on the sex that person was assigned at birth. While transgender may refer to a woman who was assigned male at birth or a man who was assigned female at birth, transgender is an umbrella term that can also describe someone who identifies as a gender other than woman or man, such as non binary, genderqueer, genderfluid, no gender or multiple genders, or some other gender identity.
Gender Fluid/Genderfluid: A person whose gender identification and presentation shifts, whether within or outside of societal, gender-based expectations. Being fluid in motion between two or more genders.
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.

Some drag queens are genderfluid and some are transgender, but they're all degenerates.
And they have the right to be degenerates if they stay away from children.
