Drag queens are not a danger to society.

White supremacists are a danger to society.

@Lady_Star_Gem
White suprematists feel threatened by them.
@partnumber2 @Lady_Star_Gem white supremacists feel threatened by almost everyone. Even thier own kind. I guess they're naturally insecure.
@icenijay @partnumber2 @Lady_Star_Gem That's literally true. One of the hallmarks of the authoritarian follower is a far greater level of fear and anxiety. To them the barbarians are always at the gate, the world is always teetering on the brink of destruction, and any deviation from The Way is courting disaster.
@icenijay @partnumber2 @Lady_Star_Gem I should follow up - I learned about this in Bob Altemeyer's excellent and well-researched book _The Authoritarians_, which is freely available at: https://theauthoritarians.org/. It includes the studies performed, methodologies, and conclusions.
The Authoritarians

@Hasufin @icenijay @partnumber2 @Lady_Star_Gem All of which they learned in churches growing up, at least here in the USA. Right-wing Evangelical and/or Catholic and/or Mormon churches are the breeding grounds for fascists.
@Lady_Star_Gem So true.
But you know ... with all the projection the Reich Wing does ... surely someone will ask ... What about White Supremacist Drag Queens?

@Lady_Star_Gem Exactly.

And now Iโ€™m following you for that cover GIF alone!

@Lady_Star_Gem Beautiful! I am seeing more calls for accountability for these acts of hatred. The #LGBTQIA community deserves justice and space to thrive. ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ๐Ÿ’™
@Lady_Star_Gem This is true, and also consider: which group would be more fun to hang out with?
@Lady_Star_Gem The real threat to children are in the churches that harbor molesting priests (which is most of them). That's where we should be protesting with twice as many as they bring to drag shows.
@Lady_Star_Gem Queens are tough thoughโ€ฆ. They are super heroes
@Lady_Star_Gem more than that, drag queens uplift society #shinequeenshine
@Lady_Star_Gem it's interesting to me because I'm not enough of a pervert to assume the only reason a guy would wear a dress, is to have sex in it. Why do the left take their kids to drag shows? Because the right lie about them and I want my child to see through right wing lies.. And it's fun.

@Lady_Star_Gem
As you sayโ€” ZERO valid reason for #dragqueens to be a political issue, and the certainly donโ€™t deserve this guff.

But the bright side?
Itโ€™s essentially a flashing neon sign telling voters:
โ€œTHIS CANDIDATE HAS NO INTENTION OF DOING THE SLIGHTEST G.D. THING ABOUT ANY REAL PROBLEMS.โ€
Fixing #infrastructure (say) or #schools is hard.
TG-bashing is easy.
So itโ€™s the go-to for lazy, corrupt & incompetent politicians.

#Republicans

@Lady_Star_Gem @briankung All supremacy ideology is. Doesnโ€™t matter if itโ€™s race, religion, sexuality, or something else.

Know what a supreme human is? One that cares for the well-being of everyone in an honest way.

@Lady_Star_Gem love your header pic of Captain Von Trapp ripping up the Nazi flag. One of my favorite parts of The Sound of Music

@Lady_Star_Gem 100% true.

Drag queens want to dress up and have (sometimes a bit risquรฉ) fun.

White supremacists want to murder all my sisters, all but one of my brothers, all but one of my nieces, all but one of my nephews, my cute little great-nephew, and a whole bunch of in-laws and cousins and cousins-in-law and uncles and aunties and most of their friends, etc.

There isn't really any rational comparison between the two.

@Lady_Star_Gem

Yup, itโ€™s the drag queens we have to worry about

@Lady_Star_Gem

Groups of people protesting drag queens armed to the teeth are a danger to society.

@Lady_Star_Gem Depends on whose society is being menaced...
@Lady_Star_Gem @joshmillard Drag queens ought to *start* being a danger to society, given just how much of a danger society is to them.
@lorxus @Lady_Star_Gem i mean yes and if it's praxis then fuckin' a but mostly i'd like society to stop being a danger to queer people in general which feels, somehow, terribly, like a much bigger ask
@joshmillard @Lady_Star_Gem Painfully enough, I agree. Don't get your hopes up. The last turnoff to avoid bloodshed was quite some time ago now.
@Lady_Star_Gem
The only thing a Drag Queen ever shot was a dirty look.

@Lady_Star_Gem

Attacking drag queens achieves so many far-right objectives all in one go that it's terrifying. Portraying queer and trans people as dangerous. Portraying the left as encouraging child abuse and thus morally bankrupt. Distracting from ACTUAL child abuse in their own communities (especially in religious spaces where, you know, it actually happens). Diluting the word "groomer" so it's harder for their own child abuse victims to seek help. Whatever far-right wanker came up with this angle must be hugging themselves. I don't think they're insecure about us at all. I think they know exactly what they're doing.

(Also it's always queens and/or trans women they go after, isn't it? Becuase either drag kings and/or trans men don't fit into their disgusting little narrative, or they flat out don't know we exist.)

Ugh.

@Lady_Star_Gem Drag Queens are a danger to toxic male egos.
@Lady_Star_Gem Unarmed drag queens should guard schools. Two are tougher than four hundred armed Uvalde cops.
@Lady_Star_Gem
Dragqueens can be dangerous. They're always dressed to kill ๐Ÿ˜

@Lady_Star_Gem

Bad day for trans on twitter today. Lots of nasty comments concerning them effecting wonans rights.
I ended up sending the Storm Troopers in
