You have to categorize to analyze. The function of each is different. The first is comedy. The second is considered higher art by proponents and is not necessarily to get a laugh ("The Great Starina").
Is that a post-Modernist belief? Sounds like a euphemism for "stereotyping" to me. I couldn't give a shit what JD Vance thinks, and I'm not going to use him as a gauge on how I should judge this issue.
Sort of like my pal Mike. He's a straight cross dresser, out of the closet 100% and loves to be with women only but loves the attention he gets for being deceitful to the men who hit on him. With his long brunet wig, he looks very attractive. He's never been with a man. Straight as a pistol he is. I know Mike very well and he's telling the truth. The question watty is how are we to tell the difference of a Gay Drag Queen and a Straight Drag Queen that is for comedy purpose only?
No it's basic analysis for comparing two pieces of performance. Classical music v. jazz music. Rock v. country. Cubist v. impressionist. Gitano flamenco dance v. classical flamenco dance. In this case, there are two different purposes, or telos, of the art. It's more Aristotilean than post modern, but then Aristotle was one of the founders of modern science and the method he expounded was the categorization of items so they could be studied and argued about. You can't have that discussion without categorizing.
Here's a hint...the comedy ones aren't doing drag time story hour....there's no point....you can't do your character and you can't get the laughs if you are reading a story.....the ones doing it are seeking to share what they consider high art with the kids, and thereby get them to appreciate it. The objection is no, that's not appropriate, because that particular piece of art has a sexual component to it which is not appropriate around kids, anymore than stripper time story hour would be, or for that matter taking a young boy to Hooters.
My take is simple: Story time with the kids at the public school should only be by teachers, Liberian or a vetted parent. I would be more open to story time with a fire fighter, police officer or a Veteran then a Drag Queen. This is insane were even talking about this.
Unfortunately, my experience in NorCal is very different from yours. Those words are used on the pitch *all the time*. Kids either have a thick skin and deal with it, or they aren't going to have a particularly good experience. Yes - when a ref is close enough to hear it, and if they are sure of what was happening, they might throw a yellow or even a red. But it's happened once over the past few years that I can remember - as opposed to the kids having to deal with it multiple times per season.
Sf must be a magical place because I’ve seen it happen against kids of color in the val and la at lease a dozen times. In no case did the ref do anything (beyond in a handful of cases a verbal warning…reason the ref doesn’t have proof and it isn’t worth the aggravation). Neither did the coaches (one coach challenged our coach to a fist fight for even suggesting their player did that). And I’ve seen plenty of Latino coaches in the barrio let the m and n words float around freely (so white kids looking to play on those higher, even highest, level letter league teams walk away). To make it work you’d have to use the hammer: life time bans and expulsion for both parents and kids, force people like slobi to use pronouns and not dead name.
He just wants his preferred solution so is perfectly content to waive it off as not happening.
Well what do you think "research" means? I just googled titles? It is "all inclusive"... including putting them in the boy's bathroom for trannies that go from female to male. Why? Because they're still females and need tampons. Aren't we supposed to call FTM trannies "boys"?
Yep. And when the school sends home a letter saying the groomers want to invite some gay man in drag to read story time to my 5-year old, I check the "FUCK NO" box. I don't imagine most people want freak flags flying in K-12. It's bad enough their moronic flags keep me from seeing the game I paid $50 to watch. It's almost as obnoxious as the fat virgin on a ladder telling me what and when to cheer while his fat, virgin buddy hammers his drum.
Move the bar much? You said come to NorCal, and it doesn't happen, because you'd get a red card. I said it happens all the time. Who is closer to accurate?
It doesn’t really matter. It’s the reverse argument re the bathrooms….if even 1 kid gets molestered by the crazy guy in the dress. Sf may very well be a more tolerant place. But you’d have to use the hammer not only in San Francisco but also in the sf valley and also in the barrios of downtown la or watts or rural South Carolina. Sf is the place we’d be least concerned about and fifa can’t even get Mexican fans to not use the p word.
I'm capable of using pronouns. If you demand I use them, I keep it simple... "dipshit" and "attention whore".
Doesn't appear so.
If you losers can make up pronouns, so can I. At least mine are accurate.
and @dad4, I rest my case.
What kind of mentally sane man or woman wants to be referred to as "they" and "them"?
If you're looking at bronze games in East SJ or the CV, that's a completely different culture. But a ftm would not be welcome on a girl's team in those areas, either.
