I visited my sibling last night, and was promptly swarmed by my nieces. The eldest is nearing five. She's been struggling for some time now on the complex tasks of lacing shoelaces, not wetting her bed, and saying all three of her name's properly. I might be wrong, buuuuuut maybe Lindsay's target audience of toddlers would have a little trouble understanding the whole 'drag queen' concept at an age where fighting over who gets to wear the princess dress while playing dress ups has more to do with the way shiny things like glitter and sequins tend to attract small children almost like magnetism. Please correct me if I am wrong, because even now I struggle with simple concepts like correct pronouns and the oppression ladder. To my everlasting shame, I'm not at all quick on the up take.
Yeah, tons of parents act like their little boy is the first little boy in the world to think glitter and sequins and sparkles are cool, or that it means he will be gay or trans later. Realistically, men have been into sparkles and jewels as long as humans have ornamented themselves.
We live in a time that is basically a nadir for men's jewelry and ornament. For hundreds of years, nothing would have been unusual about kids of either sex wanting to wear or pretend to wear crowns, necklaces, and rings, or long flowing robes/dresses. Today it must mean your kid is a queer trans snowflake who can only be understood by dangerhairs.
