Declan Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Must be worrying for the local drag and trans people that this story is being broadcast without an effort from the department to provide clarity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could someone please say "a drag queen did not give sex lessons" or "a wooden dildo was not used for a girl to put a condom on in front of boys" etc. I don't mean this about you but I'd think someone would have to be a bit dense or naive to think that a drag queen was giving sex education lessons in the sense of discussing sex. If the island had no curriculum and just made it up as they went along then it would still not make sense. Even the idea of a drag queen going in to a school to talk about gender would be very odd because although people who dressee in 'drag' may have something to say about gender, to do so in their capacity of being a drag queen would be very strange, or rather funny considering how ridiculous that sounds. You might have someone who performs as a drag queen, yet also dresses in 'drag' or the non-typical men's clothing who has experience to talk about gender. But I don't know if this happened. Suffice to say, the idea of a drag queen giving sex ed just sounds like complete bollocks. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, most people don't understand its a spectrum. There are 73 degrees of woke. I put myself on the 'oh shit, I've overslept' end. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are used to dealing with local press and local concerns, not the UK press who don't actually take kindly to, or ignore, admonitions of 'do not speculate'. How nobody saw this for the PR disaster it has become is astonishing just when we are trying to increase the population. Meanwhile, it would seem the Fast Show has oodles more material if it was still about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had a mind of its own from the second it was mostly invented to begin with. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
