I am angry that kids have to deal with this unnatural type of behavior. It sickens me.
I’ve never heard of any evidence that cross-dressing and actual harm are linked in any way.
I reserve my ire for those who hurt others, not just those who like doing different things than me.
Have you read anything Grayson Perry has written? Articles, books…? Nothing sickening about about the humanity and intelligence (and wit) behind those words. His ceramic art isn't bad either. In fact it's superb. I couldn’t give a monkeys if he likes to wear a dress. As I see it that’s none of my business.
As Kevin said, personally I find bigots more of a drag.

No, it's unforgivable bigotry, not concern for children at all. There's no evidence that being exposed to drag has any harmful effect on children at all, and no reason to suspect it does. I certainly survived exposure to Flip Wilson, Milton Berle, Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Ru Paul with no ill effect. Most of us did.

You all are so afraid of that bigotry word. My comment was aimed at the highest priority. Protection of kids. That overrides the right of expression in a perverted way. Grow up.

It's really simple but you guys don't see it. Sometimes you need to give up certain things for other things. Like giving up the right to be unnatural in a perverted way in order to protect the sacredness of children growing up without being confused about gender roles. My gosh, I can't believe you're so immature.
I look at it this way if a adult was sitting in a chair and someone dressed in drag stood over them and starts gyrating their pubic area..ok that adult can get up or stay the adult makes a choice but the child would not know what to do. To much exposer to anything that seems odd in a child’s mine can be tramatic. Children are not wired like adults not yet and their choices sometimes are askew from a expected response. Case in point a child was asked by her mother if a stranger asked her, the child, if they wanted some candy to help the stranger find a missing puppy what do you think that child response was? You get my point. Let the children grow up before putting unnecessary pressure on their adolescent minds.

If you keep using the "preverted" word then bigot will always fit. Your attitude is way more dangerous to those of any age who you consider "unnatural". I'm grown up enough to see right through this latest witch hunt.

Look up pervert. It's an alteration of coarse, a distorted and corrupted way from what it was intended to be. Bam. Drag fits this perfectly. I'm right to use the word perverted. I'm not bigoted. I'm truthful. That's all you're ever gonna get from me. Truth and justice is more important than words you can't cope with.

Can you evidence a single example of what you describe in relation to the subject of the OP's offensive and misdirected rant?
The sexual behaviour consenting adults choose to engage in is none of yours or my business.

I don't think it's unnatural. Like the smell of a skunk believe it or not there is a very small group that are not put off by a skunk's smell. unnatural? yes when the natural response is.. revolting.

There is no 'intended way to be'.
There is only 'how we choose to be' informed by a constantly fluid and changing culture. There are almost certainly things you deem 'normal' that would have you imprisoned or worse 350 years ago.
You mention 'justice'. The moral concept of justice is founded on the right for all to live as we please within the law, free from the prejudice and false accusation of others.
What you are ranting against is only 'illegal' in regimes such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia and former ISIS territory. That should give you a big clue about why your prejudice is accurately referred to as bigotry.

If someone not in drag stood over a child sitting in a chair and starts gyrating their pubic area... you'd be okay with that???
I never heard anyone define what qualifies as "drag" refers to that, are gyrating their pubic area, or exposing themselves.
