I have a child who goes by "they", and has changed their name. We respect it, their friends respect it, and it has been no problem whatsoever (this started when they were in fourth grade...they are finishing their Freshman year right now). I accept and love my child, not matter what they come to me with, and I assume most people do as well.

My Nine, 357, and M60 500 yard scope rifle will say you will have a hard time with that.
Oh, and #...I am a liberal.
Im sorry but it’s really not the same thing as promoting the lifestyle of drag queens for wokeness in the corporate sphere of influence. I would want to see what’s in the book first before comparing it to a 3 year old wearing her daddy’s boots.

When my kids were little they used to love parading around in adult shoes. It generated a lot of laughter to see my two year old daughter trying to walk in her father's cowboy boots, or my three year old son parade around in my high-heeled shoes.
It has been pretty much accepted for many generations to be a natural form of play for children, and we never once saw it as an expression of transgenderism. Kids (being the little hams they're noted for) enjoyed the reward of making everyone laugh.
Like most stages of learning-play kids go through, the novelty of prancing around in adult shoes soon wore off and they advanced to the stage stage of their development.
I guess we could have taken it as our cue to 'develop' such traits had we so desired, but we just enjoyed their antics and the laughter it brought. We never made it an issue, and it never became one to address.
When I was a kid we used to play cops and robbers a lot, along with war. The adults let us play with sticks as pretend guns, and let the natural progression of growing up take its course. I'm glad they didn't feel the need to get involved and feel the need to develop the shooting/violent aspect of our play.
I’m going to second you on this. The teachers associations ... NEA etc are full of communist Progressive leanings and these “educators” are who’s teaching the kids.

Talking in a neutral way, your child was taught that, it wasn't something that materialized from some inner desire or feeling. I really don't care what people want to be called, have fun, but its the in thing right now to do it. The part I'm a little concerned about is who is doing the teaching? Teachers are assuming too much of a roll these days getting deep in to more personal areas and using what they believe to be correct and there are a lot of nutty teachers out there that think on the extreme side of things.
Plus I have a problem with a person who goes to college becomes a teacher and thinks they know what is best for kids as if they happen to be the smartest and most experienced person in the room who in the end really knows very little about anything.
You find drag queens offensive to women? Are you a woman?

I don't think I can take my kids to the over 21 bar with me
You certainly can't buy them a drink but other than that, it's up to the bar to decide.

Pizza Hut has joined Taco Bell on the Drag Queen for kids promotion train. I guess it should have been expected. I think all the large corporations will fall under the progressive flag or face the consequences.
Damn shame that the Progressives are obsessed with sex and sexualization and MUST at all cost ensure your children are involved, accept and participate with their deviancies and perversions.
www.dailymail.co.uk...
Pizza Hut is facing calls for a boycott after it promoted a children's book that featured a little boy who dresses in drag.
Big Wig, by Jonathan Hillman, tells the story of a little boy who likes to dress up, and whose wig gives magical powers to those who wear it.
The publishers, Simon and Schuster, said the book, published in February, 'celebrates the universal childhood experience of dressing up and the confidence that comes with putting on a costume.'
Yet the backlash was immediate.
Radio host Todd Starnes said: 'Over the past few years #pizzahut has had to close hundreds of restaurants.
'Maybe they should spend more time perfecting their pizza instead of grooming preschoolers to be drag queens?'

Drag is sexual perversion?

This companies are full of pedophiles on agendas, Pizza hut pizzas are cheap and crap, stick with the local pizzerias they taste better and help the local economy, all the big chain cheap food needs to die.
They are the ones responsible for the dead of local economies and small businesses going away plus the epidemic of obesity in the US.

Completely harmless fun. But... in this circle, if it's not straight, white, and Christian, it's the boogeyman.

Gays: exist.

The real world: our oldest daughter came crying to us when she was 8 (2011) because she thought we were going to be mad about her being attracted to girls.
We LOL'd and accepted the gay. We go to the pride festivals to support her.

Please tell me why Straight people (especially Men) aren't exalted like these Drag Queens are?
Once you figure that out, you'll start to see what's happening.
