Context matters. I have no problem with men who are into wearing make-up and 'feminine' clothes. Anyway, where does one draw the line? Even Scottish men wear skirts. War-paint is also make-up. It is a style objection. Are we going to say that only SOME face-paint is objectionable? No, no, no so-and-so spent too many hours applying make-up.
There is also a long tradition of gender-swapping on stage (think Pantomime - as a kid, I laughed uproariously at the clumsy ugly sisters (men) in Cinderalla stage-plays, or a 'Prince' who is a lady, singing a duet with the leading lady - too funny - it's just what happens in Pantos). It even happens Shakespearean comedies. So, Lake 'having a discussion' with some painted people, is something that must be evaluated rather than condemned. Beware of labels. What were they doing to be all dressed up?
Naturally, I object against those who wave their goolies at children in libraries. Nor should children attend sexually explicit shows or perform in them.
But some of the most creative YT make-up channels are from men. And women follow them and buy their products.
Yea, I’ll look tonight. It was during her time as a reporter. She gushed all over her drag queen friends. It wasn’t a fake. Its out there. Here is one: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/06/20/kari-lake-drag-queen/
