![]() ![]() What has been your strategy or game plan to deal with situations like these? First of all, I’m so sorry that you’re having to deal with stuff like that. I saw on your Instagram recently that a fake tweet that you never wrote was circulating in these conservative groups. ![]() It seems like conservatives are using every tool in their arsenal to push their agendas. That's what they're trying to do: justify us being hurt. They want to hurt people that protect children. What they want to do to protect children is not listen or help. So the drag community and trans people being labeled as someone as horrible as a child molester or pedophile, it tries to discredit us. I wouldn't even say that about priests, and we know that there are more priests on record who have actually been accused, with literal proof of their sexual misconduct towards their parishioners and young victims. ![]() There's no one group of people that every single one of them is a child molester. In essence, what they also do is criminalize and sort of muddy the waters about the conversation on trans individuals and sort of trying to label us as child molesters and pedophiles, which is obviously not true. But beyond that, they also have lasting effects. So that's obviously not good, and it is damaging to the careers and livelihood of both the drag entertainers and the small businesses that employ them. By not only criminalizing certain performers and performances, but then also criminalizing, fining, and removing the liquor licenses or any other type of licenses that the businesses may hold that actually hire and employ these drag entertainers. They can basically cut drag performers off from their jobs or their sort of sense of financial stability, their access to earning income, the shows that they perform at. I mean, it's really detrimental because these so-called drag ban bills, in execution, can limit the access that drag performers have. ![]()
