No, you have confirmed that you do not in fact understand me. I’m not saying “eventually it will ban them all.” I’m saying the people writing and enforcing the law believe that all drag shows are sexual and thus this right now effectively makes it illegal to perform drag in front of children, because that is how the law will be applied in reality.
You keep repeating that it only bans sexual performances in front of children, but are not arguing against the idea that they view all drag as sexual. I’m forced now to assume this is on purpose.
Fun fact: it is the majority opinion among conservatives that being trans is a fetish and therefore sexual as well. That is what will be the focus in the future.
If they view all drag as sexual why didn’t they ban all drag?
but are not arguing against the idea that they view all drag as sexual. I’m forced now to assume this is on purpose.
They probably view most drag as sexual yeah. because it often is. but instead of banning drag entirely, they banned specifically sexual drag in front of children. That seems like the right thing to do in this circumstance.
If they view all drag as sexual why didn’t they ban all drag?
If they view all drag as sexual performances, then banning sexual performances is effectively a ban on drag, with the added benefit that useful idiots will happily deploy smokescreens for you. This isn’t complicated, you are simply engaging in willful ignorance. This is why I keep repeating that laws do not enforce themselves, but you have such a naive view of how government works that I don’t think I can get through to you.
I would flip it around and say if you don’t view drag as inherently sexual, then banning sexual drag wouldn’t equate to banning all drag. The fact that you think this law is an issue demonstrates that not only do you view drag as sexual, but you think it’s okay for children to consume. Those laws will be enforced if someone breaks them, and you can only break them if you do something sexual in front of children. I wish you would just be honest and say “I don’t think sexual drag in front of children is an issue” and I would respect your point of view a lot more, even if I disagree.
