Why is teaching a sex-typical behaviour more acceptable than teaching a sex-atypical behaviour? You're still teaching kids that sex is inherently associated with certain behaviours, and that deviance is wrong.
It's not inherently associated, it is socially associated. Society interprets behaviors to mean different things. There's nothing inherently gay about the infamous lispy affectation, but if you hear someone speaking that way you'll draw conclusions. It's neither "if you're gay you have to talk that way" no "if you're not gay you can't talk that way", but it's definitely "if you talk that way people will think you're gay", and while that's not a law of nature, it is important to understand if you're attracted to women and not men.
What I'm describing is no different than the concept of "passing", that society views certain things as masculine or feminine, and will likely treat you different based on those things. Blurring those lines only in the mind of a child diminishes their ability to navigate that social space.
Right, but a man wearing a dress isn't making any such statement to kids. The only statement is "men can wear dresses". Beyond that: nothing is implied about society or prevalence.
I'll say it again: a drag queen is not simply a man in a dress. It is a whole persona built around a ton of mostly sexual cultural symbolism. I do not think you are like a child, I don't think you actually don't understand that, I think you're being obtuse on purpose.
Lmao "You don't have to play with dolls if you're a girl, but you can't play with dolls if you're a boy. This is a rational argument"
I apologize for only calling you media illiterate earlier. I have no idea how you managed to read that into what I said.
Tstormfront's argument is always a variation on "I just want to protect you from me destroying you". Poor kids will be mocked to oblivion if they deviate from fundamentalist christian norms - but mocked by who ?
It's not about mocking. If you do something expecting people to react one way and they react another, it's an unpleasant experience, even if they are entirely supportive of you. If you act like a drag queen expecting your friends to think its a funny thing, and instead they think you're a gay man hitting on them, it's gonna get uncomfortable without anyone particularly at fault. Communication isn't simple or easy, and it gets harder if you have no idea what other people are thinking.
Because y'all are trying to make it a crime, dipshit
The bill is so vaguely worded that Pride organizers are already worried about celebrations this year.

Feel free to ask Florida about that.
